- Join aviation legend and Air Facts author Richard L. Collins in this Sporty's classic video as he flies his Cessna 210 from Cincinnati, Ohio, to the Washington National Airport (KDCA) in the early 1990s.
The legend 👍 Remember kids this is old school .. this is the way it was done.
What a great video for us learning IFR and for those of us wishing it was still this easy to fly into DCA. Hope y'all upload more of Dick Collins!
Excellent video Richard. Thank you for making it.
Got my instrument rating today. Thanks Dick. RIP
Cool to see how things have changed and what hasn't
Nice view of the way things were.
lived on Bolling from 75 to 79.from my room could see the planes line up on 33, Rwy1 now.
RC, an instrument pilot's... pilot!
The KNS81 + KI525 HSI was top notch for its time….
I don't think one can fly over the Pentagon now days...

This is no longer valid, unless you go through the process of registering as one of the 10 GA allowed to land in a day with an armed guard in the right seat.
Those GA rules are no longer in effect at DCA
Why, he'll just "40RCgooday" himself right into another plane or the ground.
His communication is poor..he does not read back any frequency change from ATC or altimeter
He also does not read back many instructions. I've read many articles of his in Flying Magazine and would have expected better.
God rest his sole. th-cam.com/video/bcbS7W8gD2E/w-d-xo.html
James C ....People didn't read back instructions years ago like they do now..I started flying in 1971 and this was the way it was done..Call it old school or whatever you want...just the way it was done....
My name is Travis Richard Collins. I am High-King God.
It is treason to imposter my name.
