350'/min not bad climb rate for a 140, especially on a hot day out of Palm Spr. Thanks for taking me along with you. That is a beautiful plane, sporting that outstanding rework.
Your plane looks great! I work at Camarillo Airport as Airport Maintenance. Its nice to see Camarillo Airport from the perspective of a pilot. Thank you for the video!
I moved to Camarillo in 1963, 10 years old ! I remember when it was Oxnard Air Force Base with fighter jets !! I towed my 1954 Chevy down the runway trying to start it during 'Auto Shop' at R.O.P. at the, by then, the civilian airport. Great Plane !! I learned in a 150 in '73. Great video ! At 6:10 I can see the house we lived in !! How cool ! Thanks for a Great visual !
I know nothing about flying and have no idea why this vid popped up in my feed but.....WOW. I went thru a whole gambit of emotions watching this ...from sheesh what an adorable young lady to the camera view of her in plane and feeling like a dad watching his daughter driving off to college for first time to her donning sun glasses, headset and turning full boss that is clearly an extremely smart and accomplished pilot. subbed...
Hi there, you have a trimendous we Cessna plane , it looks really great, I've just watched the whole video and I've enjoyed it immensely, l hope you keep it flying & keep everything up to date so that nothing goes wrong, -- Happy Flying every day of your life.
Your airplane is absolutely beautiful. ❤ I really enjoy the style of your videos - it always feels like we are literally riding along in the airplane with you, enjoying the flight and fantastic scenery on the flight.
I've never seen gauges like that! I mean, you didn't have to gut it to put in bigger Garmin screens. And while you were turning they leveled too. Very impressive and encouraging! Because if one has a plane with old dials this is an option. Oh and very nice flying. Thanks for taking us on your adventure!

Love your videos Stevie. The C-140 is a great old airplane and you've done a great job getting her ready for the long trip to KOSH and back to CA. So glad I got to meet you at AirVenture this summer.
An amazing looking plane ,both of you are like one so insink, what great touch downs ,am yeah that was such an enjoyable watch thanks for having me on board 🤙🏻
Enthusiasm is a big plus in your adventures in aviation flying ..!!! Love the sound of engine humming !!! Dad whole life was surrounded by aviation with start of career with CAA Civil aviation admenstration latter became federal aviation so grew up with his love of aviation...!!!
I am so glad to see up again, I enjoy your trips so much. You have created a great adventure for yourself and for us, keep it going kid. This old aero guy is in joy to see you bring competent youth back into our industry. It's so important. Thank you.
I’m not sure why I love your videos so much. I follow many aviation channels, but there’s something about your videos that is so inspiring. I wish we didn’t have to wait months in between your posts. Peace.
Great videos, excellent production quality, and as always, excellent airmanship! The scenery of cross country flights is always fun to watch and though I don’t get to fly much outside my home region, I appreciate flying vicariously through those of you who do.
I enjoy watching Stevie's videos because she is so smart and cute(Attractive) and seriously she seems to be a very competent and safe pilot, gosh this over 50 guy wishes he was younger, all the great ladies always seem to be too young for me, but seriously I enjoy watching her video's and other aviation vids, thanks for posting these Stevie ! I am enjoying them very much !
I made that flight a bunch back n the 90’s and early 2,000’s. I loved looking at all the patterns on n the desert. It is so different when seen from the air in a sweet little Cessna. I had a 150 and a 170. It all came to an end when Heart issues took away my Medical. I love watching videos like yours. Brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks for sharing.
Love everything you do and very jealous at this point. I remember having so much fun only when I was traveling and training for my commercial/instrument back in 1989
I was going to take lessons a few years ago but I asked about the medical before signing up for lessons and having a-fib that comes and goes, I wouldn’t be able to pass the medical.
Hi Stevie, I noticed you flew out of Camarillo. I also fly out of Camarillo with a friend of mine. That's so awesome. Love that airport. He actually flys with NetJets which is down a little farther at the airport. Love watching your videos and always look forward to your new ones. Thanks for posting.
Hi Stevie, love your videos and learn so much just listening to your radio work. I would love to see a video on how you flight plan for these types of flights and what your thought process is as you plan these types of flights. It would be really interesting to see your process. Thank you for what you do for the general aviation community. You are inspirational!
She had superb training and was a great student. I have just recently become interested in general aviation and this is so refreshing to see after some of the videos I've been watching lately.
Yet another great video from you Stevie, your amazing. That's a long haul for a little 140. I love your airplanes and what you did with them, keeping the vintage look. I look forward (me and other corporate pilots) to seeing every video you make. Mike from Bakersfield/Shafter
I made a similar flight from Watsonville CA (WVI) to OSH in 1987 in a Grumman AA1A Trainer. It was a great adventure that I'm happy to relive through Stevie's flight.
@@clarencewiles963 Oh, that's cool! Retired from what, if you don't mind me asking? Flying a Cessna sounds like a great experience. Any memorable flights or favorite moments?
I've owned a Cessna 150, 152, 172, 177RG, 180, 182, 182rg, 206, and a 210 Turbo. I've never owned a 140 but have flown in one several times. It is amongst my favorite airplanes of all time Cessna 140 with piano key panels rock.
As someone who lives in Arizona: 1. 105 Deg F isn't Hot. July/August often get north of 115 Deg F. (I think this year might have been a little milder than usually.) 2. Sorry you had to fly over the junkyard my dad calls his house. He lives about 1.5 to 2 miles due west of Buckeye airport. 3. Goodyear might have been a better (and probably more expensive) stop than Buckeye. Unless you have access to a car and can drive down to Miller Rd (Along I-10, East of highway 85 to Yuma) or further east, there is NOTHING around or in Buckeye Airport outside of horses and cows. 4. AZ Thunderstorms are nothing to sneeze at, especially during the monsoon season. Landing before they came into play was a good thing. 5. Not too familiar with Falcon Field. Had one job that was on Scottsdale airpark, an air freight job that came with cargo ramp access to PHX Sky Harbor, and my daughter goes to school at ASU's Polytechnic campus on the remains of Williams Air Force Base, now Phoenix-Mesa Gateway. But I hear there's a restaurant at Falcon that's amazing.
A really nice video! Love the flying over the desert and some great views out of the aircraft! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next video on this route. All the best - Lee (UK)
i know absolutely nothing about flying but dam you make it look easy !! your confidence and the way you run through your checklist OMG and communication with the tower is incredible its great to see such professionalism your video poped up after watching another video of a female pilot who should not have been in the flying seat and it didnt go so well
Don't forget to check the cables. One Cessna specialist mechanical expert said "Cessnas eat cable", meaning they get frayed and corroded. Does your model need the Airworthiness Directive on the bulkhead-strut, etc.? Happing flying!
The plane is amazing. I live in Wisconsin just south of the EAA museum. So the next trip here look us up it would be an honor to meet you. God Bless and safe travels.
hi stevie, enjoy your videos. im a truck driver that lives in az, goodyear and travel i- 10 weekly. so cool to see what it looks like from the air. it can get pretty windy in the banning area and can push 70000 lbs of truck and trailer around quite a bit. whats it like for you in a light aircraft up there? looking forward to the next part. t.x.
What an inspiration you are!!! You are a lot like my kids, who are about your age now. They grew up with 6 or 7 airplanes going through our inventory. We have a grass strip right here at the house in Chico CA. The most inconvenient thing of owning an airplane is keeping it at an airport. My first plane was a Cessna 120. I didn't know how to fly anything. Paid $3000 for it in 1972. Painted it in a friend's Barn. Flight instruction was $4 per hour then, and gas was 45 cents for Av Gas. Car gas was 22 cents. A hanger was $30/mo, then, but that was too expensive so it stayed outside for $10 a month. We flew it from Chico Ca to Canada with only a "coffee grinder radio" -(Narco vht3) It got reception about when you could see the station. The only Nav aid we had was windows. A couple in between that and then a 1952 C model Bonanza!. I put about 850 hours on that Bonanza. (all those hours were on car gas) Loved it. My 4000+ hours were mostly in tail draggers. Over the years they included: A Helio Courier, Two Cessna 170s- one with 180hp and constant speed prop, a C150 Aeorbat converted to a tail dragger and a 150hp and constant speed prop, Cessna 120, A Tiger Moth, Interstate Cadet, a Glass Air 1, a BD5 which never flew, a KR2, and Pietenpol Air Camper. Then there was the Taifun motor glider (loved it too) and a Lake Buccaneer. We flew that Buccaneer from NY to CA, then the next year all over the west -Idaho mostly and Washington. It had a turbo so those 7000' altitude lakes were accessible. Lots of air plane camping!! That C model Bonanza is darn good on the rough runways. Strong gear, slow stall speed, (about the G model saw an increase of 10mph in the stall speed) and a front wheel only a few inches behind the prop. This is important!!!! Un like the Moonies that have that wheel 2' behind the prop. -A divit will put the prop in the dirt! Ours landed on lots of dirt roads and Playas in Mexico. It had the Britton (20 gallon) tip tanks. About 1980 I took a summer to fly the C170 with the 180hp to Alaska. There were no GPS things out yet. We filed flight plans up there with the local grocery store. We got about 200 miles up in the Arctic Circle, where the compass didn't work either. NV aids were the windows. IT was OK on the sand bars, but nothing like the Helio. The Helio has the only flight manual that states: If you have to land really short, lock the breaks first!. Of the 14 planes I had over the years the Bonanza and Helio were the favorites. I could land that Helio on our front lawn!! - 286 feet long. That is amazing for a 6 place plane. It was a gas hog! And slow. Google: lawn toy helio courier for some good pics. These days I get a lot of exercise looking for my car in the parking lot. Still a pilot though. First I cut the firewood, then I Pile it
I've always thought of flying (even GA) as being faster than car. I guess these old birds take a lot more time to get places. Hope you ENJOYED the slow ride.
@@glibsonoran I would agree with you if it wasn't for the many considerations that go into flying. GA aircraft need a lot better weather than a car does. I've driven 2000 miles in 2 days - even with bad weather.
@@glibsonoranwith a lot of the new Rotax powered ultra lights and expiermentals, you can fly at 120mph getting 30 to 35mpg, around 65 to $75 per flight hour operating cost. Excusing the entry cost of getting the plane, it can be very viable.
Always impressed with your checklists and radio work. Super sharp mind. Fantastic hand flying through the chop as well. By far, some of the best editing and audio on the platform!
Wow Loved seeing the Lizard at PSP ! 😃🦎 We don`t get too many of them here in the UK however oddly enough the Car Park at London Air Traffic Control Centre at Swanwick on the South coast is one of the few places in the UK where there are Snake Warning Signs ! .....the elusive Adder being our only poisonous snake here ! 🐍

Had one job that was on Scottsdale airpark, an air freight job that came with cargo ramp access to PHX Sky Harbor, and my daughter goes to school at ASU's Polytechnic campus on the remains of Williams Air Force Base, now Phoenix-Mesa Gateway. But I hear there's a restaurant at Falcon that's amazing.
That is one good looking 140. Kudos on finding it and maintaining it 👍
A really nice video! Love the flying over the desert and some great views out of the aircraft! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next video on this route. All the best - Lee (UK)
Thank you so much Lee, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I love this video too, are you from the UK?
i know absolutely nothing about flying
but dam you make it look easy !! your confidence and the way you run through your checklist OMG and communication with the tower is incredible
its great to see such professionalism
your video poped up after watching another video of a female pilot who should not have been in the flying seat and it didnt go so well
Ah yes...TNFlyGirl....
Yes the cutest pilot with a beautiful plane is back with a new video ❤
Don't forget to check the cables. One Cessna specialist mechanical expert said "Cessnas eat cable", meaning they get frayed and corroded. Does your model need the Airworthiness Directive on the bulkhead-strut, etc.? Happing flying!
I love how simple the plane is!! It’s so amazing inside and out ❤❤
The plane is amazing. I live in Wisconsin just south of the EAA museum. So the next trip here look us up it would be an honor to meet you. God Bless and safe travels.
hi stevie, enjoy your videos. im a truck driver that lives in az, goodyear and travel i- 10 weekly. so cool to see what it looks like from the air. it can get pretty windy in the banning area and can push 70000 lbs of truck and trailer around quite a bit. whats it like for you in a light aircraft up there? looking forward to the next part. t.x.
Love your videos, Stevie! I'm too old to fly these days, so I am living vicariously through you!
What an inspiration you are!!! You are a lot like my kids, who are about your age now. They grew up with 6 or 7 airplanes going through our inventory. We have a grass strip right here at the house in Chico CA. The most inconvenient thing of owning an airplane is keeping it at an airport.
My first plane was a Cessna 120. I didn't know how to fly anything. Paid $3000 for it in 1972. Painted it in a friend's Barn. Flight instruction was $4 per hour then, and gas was 45 cents for Av Gas. Car gas was 22 cents. A hanger was $30/mo, then, but that was too expensive so it stayed outside for $10 a month. We flew it from Chico Ca to Canada with only a "coffee grinder radio" -(Narco vht3) It got reception about when you could see the station. The only Nav aid we had was windows. A couple in between that and then a 1952 C model Bonanza!. I put about 850 hours on that Bonanza. (all those hours were on car gas) Loved it. My 4000+ hours were mostly in tail draggers. Over the years they included: A Helio Courier, Two Cessna 170s- one with 180hp and constant speed prop, a C150 Aeorbat converted to a tail dragger and a 150hp and constant speed prop, Cessna 120, A Tiger Moth, Interstate Cadet, a Glass Air 1, a BD5 which never flew, a KR2, and Pietenpol Air Camper. Then there was the Taifun motor glider (loved it too) and a Lake Buccaneer. We flew that Buccaneer from NY to CA, then the next year all over the west -Idaho mostly and Washington. It had a turbo so those 7000' altitude lakes were accessible. Lots of air plane camping!!
That C model Bonanza is darn good on the rough runways. Strong gear, slow stall speed, (about the G model saw an increase of 10mph in the stall speed) and a front wheel only a few inches behind the prop. This is important!!!! Un like the Moonies that have that wheel 2' behind the prop. -A divit will put the prop in the dirt! Ours landed on lots of dirt roads and Playas in Mexico. It had the Britton (20 gallon) tip tanks.
About 1980 I took a summer to fly the C170 with the 180hp to Alaska. There were no GPS things out yet. We filed flight plans up there with the local grocery store. We got about 200 miles up in the Arctic Circle, where the compass didn't work either. NV aids were the windows. IT was OK on the sand bars, but nothing like the Helio. The Helio has the only flight manual that states: If you have to land really short, lock the breaks first!.
Of the 14 planes I had over the years the Bonanza and Helio were the favorites. I could land that Helio on our front lawn!! - 286 feet long. That is amazing for a 6 place plane. It was a gas hog! And slow. Google: lawn toy helio courier for some good pics.
These days I get a lot of exercise looking for my car in the parking lot. Still a pilot though. First I cut the firewood, then I Pile it
When I first saw the gauge panel I thought it was all old school stuff.......but it's modern kit in round bezels etc....so nice, brilliant!
I'm just a regular pilot.. You are an AMAZING pilot. Looking forward to the next flights.
This is so cool - congratulations on all your flying and success! Awesome video.
I don't know why but I live in Albuquerque and I always get the thrill that somebody I have seen on TH-cam is flying over me
Stevie, I'm so impressed and envious. I miss flying but videos like this help me relive my flying days. I'm with you on the oatmeal raisin cookies.
I've always thought of flying (even GA) as being faster than car. I guess these old birds take a lot more time to get places. Hope you ENJOYED the slow ride.
Well the Bonanza is definitely faster than a car. The 140... it's pretty close either way.
@@glibsonoran I would agree with you if it wasn't for the many considerations that go into flying. GA aircraft need a lot better weather than a car does. I've driven 2000 miles in 2 days - even with bad weather.
@@RealRickCox Yep good point. General aviation is for those who love to fly. There are very few instances where it's practical.
Five hours from California to Arizona-is definitely faster than driving.
@@glibsonoranwith a lot of the new Rotax powered ultra lights and expiermentals, you can fly at 120mph getting 30 to 35mpg, around 65 to $75 per flight hour operating cost. Excusing the entry cost of getting the plane, it can be very viable.
I love the way you are calm during that flight such an beautiful pilot 🤘
Always impressed with your checklists and radio work. Super sharp mind. Fantastic hand flying through the chop as well. By far, some of the best editing and audio on the platform!
Wow Loved seeing the Lizard at PSP ! 😃🦎 We don`t get too many of them here in the UK however oddly enough the Car Park at London Air Traffic Control Centre at Swanwick on the South coast is one of the few places in the UK where there are Snake Warning Signs ! .....the elusive Adder being our only poisonous snake here ! 🐍
they dont make pilots that gorgeous very often
Congrats for your new plane Stevie, greetings from Freiburg Germany, Jürgen.
