Thank You and glad I came across your channel. I started to learn how to fly back in 69 at Kenosha. Tremper HS, at the time, had private pilot as an elective. I took 2yrs of it and had to quit because we were poor. Later when I was older and worked for the city one of my co-workers had a Cessna 120 and no one to fly with him, what a chance! Kenosha don' look anything like it was back then. Brought back a lot of memories, Thank You again! Think I fished every lake in Kenosha Co.. Take Care
Hey, I graduated from Tremper High and I remember the pilot class they offered. Talk about memories. I started ground school back in my 30s but, like you, had to quit. I just couldn’t afford it back then. Still can’t. But where there is a will there is a way. Thanks for watching!
Great video 99% of the flying community are great people, but there is always that one guy who feels he shouldn't have to wait. A lot of nice planes there tail drggers seemed to out number tricycle gear. Love seeing the old biplanes still flying.
Yes, the Brodhead Fly-In is known for a lot of classic vintage aircraft showing up. Love the old biplanes as well. As for those few pilots who can’t wait in the pattern-one day your impatience will come back to bite you. Thanks for the nice comment.
To be fair, on an unmarked field it’s difficult to tell who is doing what & why. If nothing else, I frustrate other pilots because my rotax is slow to get up to temp, compared to aircooled planes that don’t have a water jacket.
I did consider the Aerotrek. Nice plane. Useful load is higher in the BushCat. Bigger cabin. I prefer the BushCat’s center stick in the right hand, throttle with the left hand. Perfect fit for me.
Whaaaat? Speak up! Can’t hear you! 🙂. I told the production staff to lower the music but Nooooooo! They won’t do it. Something about the younger demographic. Sorry about the music. Heads will roll! Thanks for watching.
Tom, thanks for the video....wonderful trip...your co-pilot sure looks relaxed and enjoying the trip...!!
Glad you liked. Yes, my copilot loves to fly.

I thought that Pitts was about to dig the prop in!!
Great video as always Tom!
Yeah me too. He bumped the throttle and nearly nosed it over. Those Pitts are over powered. Thanks for the nice comment.
Enjoyed the video. The new model "BushCat Sleeper" Should Go over Big time.
😆
Another great video as usual Tom! Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome.
What a GREAT way to start a rainy Saturday morning. Cliff + Ellyn + Bucky...
Thanks for the encouragement
Hi Tom and miss T a lots of love from Virginia Beach VA.
Thank you so much
Great job loved the show, and love the Bush Cat
Thanks
Great video! Can you tell us about that beautiful translucent fabric on your plane? What is it?
It's called Trilam. Same material as racing yacht sails. Super strong and resilient.
Thank you, enjoyed the movie!
You’re welcome

@@DickGecko yes the Rotax takes a while to get to temp. So I just sit in the plane basking in the glow. In the air or on the ground it’s just magical.
GM,
It will be cool if request a from the FAA an aircraft callsign. For example: Tom687 or Cat687. Love your content.
Thanks. I appreciate the support.
Love Brodhead! When is ST turning blue?
Probably late next year
Nice Fly - In. I love the Champion! Did you ever comsider the A240 Aerotrak?
I did consider the Aerotrek. Nice plane. Useful load is higher in the BushCat. Bigger cabin. I prefer the BushCat’s center stick in the right hand, throttle with the left hand. Perfect fit for me.
…due to lack of interest. 😂
🤣
Really nice video, but the music is a bit too much. Waaay too loud. Really nice plane by the way! : )
Whaaaat? Speak up! Can’t hear you! 🙂. I told the production staff to lower the music but Nooooooo! They won’t do it. Something about the younger demographic. Sorry about the music. Heads will roll! Thanks for watching.
I took my wife up in one with the doors off during strong turbulence. I think i put her off flying light aircraft for life.
Big mistake! 😄
