2024 Sentimental Journey
This year a friend of mine and I were able to make it to Sentimental Journey at Lock Haven, PA (where my Pacer was built in 1960). I had planned to camp for two nights, but the attendance was not that large this year. I think it was because of the heat, it was really hot, so I stayed only for one night.

Giving the Hudson River Tour to Family from Germany

My niece and her husband with his parents are visiting New York City. Tuesday April 16th was his mom's birthday. I flew up to Essex County airport to meet them there for a surprise birthday gift, A flight up and down the Hudson River. The weather was almost perfect except the wind gusting at 17 knots, but both of his parents handled the bumps with no problems. They had a blast, and it was amazi...
Piper Pacer night cross country flight
มุมมอง 1976 หลายเดือนก่อน
I was invited as a guest speaker to talk about my trip to Montana's Glacier National Park at an EAA Chapter about 65 NM Southwest of Winchester. It was a great day to fly the Pacer at night rather than driving. Here is a link to the Montana trip September 2023: th-cam.com/video/MSlNGuftlcU/w-d-xo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB

I added another Camera to my collection. It's a Insta360 360-degree camera. I mounted a 42" selfie stick under the left wing and did a test flight to learn how to shoot the videos and how to edit the footage.
Flamping at Hannah Field with the Pacer

My friend John and I decided to attend the fly-in at Hannah field. We flew in the day before and camped. It got into the high 20th during the night, but we managed to stay warm. The owner of the field served a great pork BBQ lunch to everyone who flew, drove or walked in and refused to take donations. Thank you so much.

Piper Pacer to Oshkosh 2023

I finished the restoration of the right wing on my Pacer just three weeks before Oshkosh in time to fly the Pacer a couple of times. I did the left-wing last year. Here is a link to the video documentation: th-cam.com/video/OktsmuHiWKM/w-d-xo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Flying Airplanes on Skies

I wanted to fly my Pacer to Cadillac, Michigan to do some ski flying, but the weather was too bad. I ended up flying the airlines. However, we had good cold temperatures and snow to fly a Bushcat on wheel penetrating skies and a Piper Super cub on straight skies.

I attended my first fly-in at Cheat River in West Virginia on October 10th, 2022. What a great event. It is a private strip and is not on the charts. The owner organizes the fly in and supplies all the food for everyone who flies or drives in. See for yourself.

Did that spoiler come with the car or where did you buy it?
yes, it did come with the car. it was an original factory option.
Great videos! I fly out of KHWY in VA. I’m a student pilot almost finished with my PPL. Just my long Xcountry and check left. I’m very interested in a clipper or pacer. I’m 45 and will be retiring in 5 years from the fire department. Looking for my forever plane to have fun in! Would love to see your pacer some time!
The Pacer has been a great airplane for me for the last 25 years and over 2,600 hours on it. I’ll be glad to show you the Pacer sometime.
I love this video! Did you take a golf cart ride to the Piper Aviation Museum? I'm an employee there. We had our air conditioning really cranked up! Did you see the C54? Those guys were truly amazing! They wore their purple jumpsuits in that heat the whole time. I opened the gates and even drove the tug at one point as my rear end fried on the seat while another fellow drove the stairs over to the side hatch. The C54 is still here in the museum lot.
I didn’t go to the museum this time. I have visited it about three times so far. Maybe I come over again next year.
Catching up on some of your videos here Juergen. I was in keywest on vacation about 2 years ago, so this is Awesome! You Rock buddy. Stay Well
Thanks, that was a great vacation.
Nice flight. Will you do a video on the avionics? Or if you have can you shre the link?
My avionics have changed since then. You can see my latest panel in my latest video of 2024 Sentimental Journey. The next upgrade will be to more reliable fuel level senders and a new digital fuel gauge.
It was Awesome to meet you and get to chat with you Juergen! I love your plane, I think it's so cool looking. This past week was to darn Hot for me, I wasn't ready for it. I'm glad ya made it home safe, I think I caught the last 5 mins of your flight on my app so I know ya was alright! Haha. We had a Heck of a Storm come in Saturday night, blew trees down all over town of hughesville/Muncy area. Can't wait to see another Adventure. I really do want to get my Pilot license and fly bush planes, maybe some day! stay safe and hopefully get to hang out again next year and it won't be so darn hot!
it was nice meeting you too. Hope you get your license one day and buy a Pacer.
Thank you for sharing your Pacer and flight, Juergen! Hot camping can be very uncomfortable especially when there’s nothing else to do. I used to fly in Texas where it always seemed to be hot and windy in the summer. The current heat wave in the northern regions will pass eventually and good flying/camping weather will return. I look forward to your next adventure!
I really don’t mind the heat too much. it’s always nice to sit under the wing in the shade.
Awesome!! Hope to see you in Lock Heaven this year!! Its next week already!! Im excited. Ill be your Personal Uber driver if you want to try Mountain Top Pervision for supper a Night
I may be able to make it, I’m not 100% sure yet. If I can, then it would be from Friday through Sunday.
@@pacer42z That's ok!! That's when I'm gonna go! I'll take ya to a really nice place for Supper!
@@darrellfolk5284 thanks for the invite, but I prefer to stay on the field and cook dinner under the wing.
@pacer42z ok no problem! My family and I will swing in to say hi if you make it up!
@@darrellfolk5284 sounds good
Cole Aviation, "How to build a wing Rotator". I built two. One for the wing attachment and one for the wing root. I made only a few modifications. Mainly, made the outer base supports 15" with using 3" rollers, and placed them 3" inches down from the top of the up-rights and top of the roller wheel. (wheels from Harbor Freight). Went to a metal fabrication shop to make the 6' hoops in 1" square tubing. Cost me about $250 dollars in all to build two rotators. Much cheater than Wag's. Came out great!
That is much cheaper than buying one. The one I used belongs to our EAA Chapter.
I built my wing rotators. Copied Cole Aviation's video here on youtube.
That’s cool. I was fortunate that our EAA chapter has wing rotation fixture our members can use.
Lovely, Thanks for sharing. Just noticed the wheel pants. Notice any difference?
I only fly the larger Wheels when I fly out West. Most of the time I fly off pavement. The wheel pants give about 4 kts, but add weight.
These videos are very valuable to me. However, subtitles and translations do not seem to be available for these videos. Could you please re-upload it with subtitles?
There is supposed to be a way of doing it, but I can’t figure it out.

Well this was certainly a dandy treat Juergen after your meeting with our chapter. Thanks for sharing and an excellent segue!
Thank you for sharing your ride. Your night flight brings back memories from long, long ago. I share your sentiments about smooth air at night during good weather.
It is much less crowded at the airports at night. And it is so easy to see other traffic.
Always enjoy your videos.I fly a modified tailwheel tripacer in tx.
They are fun airplanes and very under appreciated
Nice touch...racing the train. I'm looking to get a 360 camera for my channel, how much work is it to edit the footage?
it adds a little work since I edit the insta clip first on the insta studio software. Then I create the actual TH-cam video on the DaVinci software.
Love it 🎉
tanks, it’s fun.
You get around!!! Love your videos!!! I’ve got a 56 Pacer, but yours is so much better equipped!
it happened over 24 years. When I first bought it it was VFR only with no radio or transponder.
I have to do this flight one day.
Actually, we did it again today. I organize fly outs for our EAA chapter. We had five airplanes and ten people participate. It was another great flight.
To me the rib stitching seems the most difficult part of the whole project.
Actually, it’s not that difficult after you get the knot down. Then it becomes second nature. I think it’s better than driving thousands of rivets on metal airplanes.
This Citristip must be an American thing, it's not available in Canadian Home Depot. Looks like it works really well.
That could be, I used to live in Canada (over 30 years ago).
I had a blast, had good company and good food too, can't wait for the next 1! We were the TN boys in the 182 all in the way by the wind sock! Lol
Yes, the field filled up quickly. Hope to be there again next year.
I have more videos and pix as well if you would like them. I have a good pic of 42 zulu as well! See yall next fly in!!
@@lilh2699 thanks, but I think I’m good with pictures and videos.
you guys, like three of you, must have been in a line going northbound on the hudson corridor. sounds like you guys are too close to each other. i used to fly this corridor.
it’s not that we flew in close formation, just in trail of each other. Easy to spot by other traffic.
Thanks for the video! I’ve been looking at these for a while.
Glad you like them!
Are there any special flight rules out there?
That seems like a smooth ride. Thanks for bringing us with you. Someday!!!
Juergen, you are everywhere!
there are still many places on my list.
Bad place to put the wire. Ask yourself, in home wiring why do they use box connectors? The answer is that a wire should never pass a sharp surface, else there is potential for a short. Why is it that cars have wire harnesses containing several wires housed in a flexible plastic tube? To prevent fraying on sharp surfaces. So how much movement and flexing is there in a common wing construction while it is in flight? You have wire tied these wires to several ribs, something that was not there in the original construction. Yes they will fray. It may take years but that's what is going to happen. I'm thinking it would have been better to shield them in a tight approved binding tape for that purpose. You'd have to pull out the FAA manual for that update and I don't have that info. I'm in Canada. If ties are used understand that not all ties last as plastics are subject to deterioration much faster. So it must be approved, and I would be inclined to think that some kind of a long lasting vinyl grommet would suffice.
Thank you for your advice.
I had planned to drive over to meet you, Juergen, but was unable due to a travel conflict all week. I hope you will return to Triple Tree next year. Very sorry to have missed you. Clear skies this fall!
I hope to make it again next year.
Вне конкуренции, но много вопросов
Hi Juergen. Great video of the back country and how to get there with a fun Pacer video. I use your videos for motivation to work on my own Pacer. I am going out to Mississppi to work on my wings...I have one wing torn down to almost the spars and will inspect and corrosion proof zinc primer before reassembly. Putting on the STC to extend the wing about 16in in the process while it is torn down. Hoping to have alteast one wing done in the next month. Will use your wing covering video as guidance when I am ready to cover. Thanks for posting Pacer content I don't see much on TH-cam.
I hope my videos help. Good luck with your project.
What engine is in that bird?
it’s a 160 HP O-320
Nice airstrips, but writing ICAO reg. could help find them on Goggle maps. Thanks 😊
Love your videos.I have a javelin(modified tail wheel tripacer) and would like to see glacier from the air. While it’s on my bucket list,you get off your duff and do it!
Where do the flight control cables in buckle ?
I’m not sure I understand your question. However, the cables for the aileron and the flap bell crank are visible in at least one of the videos.
Just wow! Fantastic job Sir!
Yes, it turned out very nice.
Seriously impressed with your attention to detail. You should be extremely proud.
Juergen, in past years it seems that there were a lot of Tri-Pacers and Pacers at Airventure. Did you see many this year? Was there a parking area where many if not most of them parked? Do you have any photos of that area? Thanks for your time.
There were many PA-22, but they were all spread out. I didn’t take many pictures this year. When you go to OSH and S&F every year, the pictures all start looking the same.
@@pacer42z Thank you for your reply.
@@JMOUC265 your welcome
Nice to see some of your videos again Juergen! Best regards LN-BBL
Yea, I’m back in business after finish restoring the right wing.
Very nice landing! ❤
Thanks, I really had to move my feet.
Your Pacer is one of my favorite aircraft on the interwebs. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
Thanks, I keep restoring it. Finished the right wing just before OSH.
Retired triple seven guy here… hearing a Pacer comment on smooth rides at a “high altitude” gave a smile. It’s all relative isn’t it?!
I guess it is, anywhere between 5,000 and 12,500 is high for us GA guys.
Hello Juergen, good to see your videos once again! Thank you very much for posting your flight and experiences to Airventure 2023. I participated vicariously online all week long via the EAA website and the live streaming videos. Someday, I hope to get back to Oshkosh. I’m looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
The Pacer was down for three month while I restored the right wing. I’m working on my next trip.
@@pacer42z Are you planning to recover the fuselage some day?
@@JMOUC265 Yes, next year I do the doors and tail. In 2025 the fuselage.
@@JMOUC265 Yes, next year I will do the doors and the tail. In 2025 I do the fuselage.
Hey! Juergen are you in Lock Haven this week? I want to come Saturday to see you!
sorry for my late reply, I just noticed you comment. I didn’t make Lock Haven. I was still working on my right wing. Maybe next year.
@pacer42z I'll be there next year!! Hope you make it. Keep making good stuff for me to watch. Thank you sir and Be Safe!
@@darrellfolk5284 will do
Can't wait to come this year and hopefully meet you and check out your beautiful Pacer!!
I really enjoy your videos! Thanks! Any plans for new ones?
