CHECKLIST OUTSTANDING

I worked on that plane (removing and replacing access panels, my first job ever!) when the aircraft as brand new at Sherburn in Elmet in 1977. I got the treat of a ride to Humberside in it with Glenn Stewart who was I think (it was a long time ago) the Cessna rep in the UK at the time. My backside was possibly the first or certainly one of them that ever sat in the right hand seat. And yes, I got to fly it! I Where is she exactly? I would .love to see her again. Oh yea, I was 17 when I flew in her, I'm 64 this year. She was G-FAST in 1977 so it does not tally with what you said. I think I can just about make out Dukeries aviation on the paperwork you showed, that's Sherburn in Elmet and where I worked.

Wow best review ever!!!!!!!! Just subscribed

Sky master is a good airplane.

Fought forest fires out of Nelson BC. Great part of the country.

By far the BEST review of this incredible airplane! We are an Air Force family. My son went to the Air Force Academy here in the States. This is still the plane that I wish he had now he is a civilian. He doesn't currently own one. Last time we flew into Orca Island he piloting a 172.. we got to see a Skymaster at run up / takeoff. You have a distinctive sound for sure. Appreciate your detail,and explaining thoroughly the uniqueness of take off and landings. Again thanks for just an enjoyable video on an incredible airplane.

Nice aircraft! You should be very proud!

Great intro, Tom...👍

@tomairtv >>> Great video. Subbed...👍

The first time I saw a Skymaster it was owned by a funeral company. It was all black, the most beautiful plane I’d ever seen.

Nearly an hour long vid 'about avionics '. Would have been great to see some avionics instead of gopro footage of the back of your neck.

Very informative! Thank you

Like you I am a fan of both 337s and Lakes. After watching this and saw you bring up the motivational poster, I was reminded of a sign I saw at an armed forces repair facility in BC. It read : There are certain qualities needed in people who dedicate their lives to aircraft maintenance. They hold , not the whole world, but somebody's life, hope, dreams and love, in their hands. If we, as aircraft maintainers, falter in our tasks and allow these bright shining things to slip through our hands like water to become mud in the dust below, we have not only lost them but also the purpose that gives our lives meaning. It is a great and sacred trust to hold somebody's world in your hands. Thanks for showing us a good example of a facility that is doing it right.

I was just watching this video and noticed that the aircraft at Lake Central that you identified as Buccaneers are actually Renegades.

Not “adverse” yaw. Just yaw. 😊

Does the hug constitute bribing an official. No offense, but in this case that would be a NOOO😂 Interesting piece … previous geezer drew down the value; you are in effect rebuilding it to almost new

Isn’t there still a limit life of 5000 hrs on the wing spar in the non pressurized that the P models don’t have

The guy standing there with his hands in his pockets looks terrible. As though he’s not really interested.

very informative , thanks for the video

Corrosion control is key

Exceptional aircraft

Yeah, my 10 year prop overhaul last year was painful $

Errmmm ... my '69--very much American--has zinc chromate.

I heard a mechanic refer to older planes as vintage, and to be respected as preserving a piece of aviation history.

Beautiful aircraft.

Bit of an angle on that electrical cable on that temp sensor or pressure switch at 8:38-8:41. Looks a bit tight...

😂huggable John,😂 Brant Aero, is a great place for avionics,Josh, Dan, and the crew are pros, I love that Pat test flies and gets “ALL” the bugs out before u pickup your plane. 👍👍

So one year, no matter how many hours?

5 bad probes!! What a great and educational story.

✋🌞👍Nailed it!

Cessna Skymaster is such a wonderful looking plane!

One pretty bird

Great plane. They used these in Vietnam and man did they work them out.

Keep mousetraps in and out of plane in hangar.keep her well shined!!!!!!

She is a beauty!!

great plane you have !!!..I have close to 1000 hours PIC ...flown in 5 summers forest fire detection contract with Magaero, based in N SK....I will be back there this summer too..my sixth year !

All I wanna do is fly with you someday in your aircraft Tom 🥹I pray someday I do

What was the source of the smoke?

Love this interview! Good job 👍… looking forward to the future videos!!😊🙏

too much yapping

I was nervous for you the entire time … was it just me ? Asking for a friend ?

This is one high strung pilot … type “a “… my observation… and that’s exactly why my father convinced me , I would make-a terrible commercial pilot … and I agreed …

Excellent debrief and very interesting. The secret to a long, healthy life is always be prepared, be resourceful and keep your cool like Paul does. You’re handling of this last incident reminds me of Mike Patey’s successful emergency landing in his super high performance Lancair Turbulence after his turbine engine grenaded while cruising around 25,000 ft with IMC below. You both are rock solid consummate pilots. And you both have methodical test pilot mind sets. Cautious not cavalier.

I remember in the mid 1960s I was a boy in elementary school in Orlando Florida. Even as a kid, I had a love for the sky master when I first saw it with the stiff gear. I closed my eyes for a minute, and it takes me down memory lane.

Wow thank you for the insight into recovery. Fascinating

This interview is way too long. Lots of humble bragging in it.

Great interview. So is the plane fixable?

I love the term “steward of the airplane” applies to all types of aircraft.

Should be required content for every pilot to watch ! 👍Thanks. BTW what caused the Lake engine to fail?
