      Quite a bit of great banter from you. Remind me of my first flight instructor. Always asking the questions that matter - where are you going next, who do you have to talk to next, what airspace is along the way.

      blancolirio Hey there! A big shout out to Juan and James!!! Love that Ercoupe. My uncle had one in the 60’s no rudder pedals. I think he told me it was either difficult or next to impossible to spin. I recall the ailerons and rudder pedal were interconnected. I guess that would keep the ball in the center. Hey Juan, I’m the former AA’er with the Congestive Heart Failure. Is there any way to reach you to talk about medical and AME’s. I’m not sure how to get a hold of you. You can text me at 949.290.1065.
      See ya, Todd Alan

      So much for the “Sterile Cockpit.” Hahahaha. Oh wait, that’s an Ercoupe! Not a 777. Okay 👌
      Hey James snd Juan, great to see McClellan again. Reminded me of Mather Alert days, with BUFF’s Cocked and Locked. Ohhhh, Alert Shacks/Sheds. Ugh!

    That gleaming Ercoupe is a thing of beauty and has become one of my favorite airplanes.
    To me, it's up there with the DC 3 and the deHavilland Mosquito, as far as aesthetics.
    The Ercoupe seems to be the embodiment of the style of its era.

    It’s nice flying with Juan’s expertise because it’s a check ride even if you didn’t want one. You dare not mess up your landings and you greased the Mc Clellan Air Force Base landing, home, almost but good enough. Great job!! I think Juan really enjoyed the trip also and getting to operate the radios again and fly. It’s challenging when you fly with such a highly proficient pilot with so many type aircraft. Great pilots always want to discuss aircraft systems. Thank Juan for radios and charts, but you did a great job James as PIC with Juan critiquing your ever move. But it makes you a better pilot and we may never be perfect but we can always get better. Great video loved it!!!

    Hi James, I first fell in love with the Ercoupe in 1971 at the age of 14. I rode my bike to Long Beach airport in SoCal and would climb inside one at a local aircraft broker. I would pretend to fly it. I received my pilots license at 19 but never got the chance to fly in one. The dream is still alive and I still can feel the yoke in my hands and the leather seats against my "bum". Thanks for your videos and great perspective. Cheers.

    James, not ever having watched one of your videos before, I have to admit that seeing the thumbnail with Juan's name was what first attracted me. That said, what a little beauty the Ercoupe is in the all-metal finish! Your being British came as a surprise and I must watch a few more of your vids to suss out your back story. You two make good 'air amigos' and you should do another collab with Juan sometime. Cheers!

Shasta, aside from when Erik Estrada from the TV show CHiPs was advertising blocks of land for sale up there. It sounded pretty good! The Ercoupe is entirely new to me and it was interesting to read the Wiki entry and understand the exchange between you and Juan as you taxied out at NCA, driving her like a car. Great video work!

    What a thrill to be able to fly with an airline captain like Juan. Love all the right questions he asked. Shot final at McClellan with Juan in the right seat. No pressure, lol 😆

    Liked and subbed. Really enjoyed the ride! I keep seeing Juan in various places probably thanks to my blind obediance to the ubiquitous TH-cam algorithm. Juan's my fav. A consummate professional at whatever he sets his mind to. Fabulous flying with you both today! Looking forward to our next flight together.

    What a great trip down memory lane. First aircraft I ever flew in was a “coup”. Years latter I flew HH53s out of McClellan. Loved flying in the Northern CA area.

      Cheers, Mike. NorCal is really an amazing place to fly, that's for sure.

      @@JamesGood I love it seriously ! I remember going thru a lengthily list on the C-47 and wished we could condense it ! but being in the Military you had to go thru it even though you had it memorized but my comment brought back my memories of going thru it! Never messed with a small plane check list so watching you made me think how great it would of been to do it by memory which was a no=no ! When I did a maintenance check on the airplane I did use my Memory because being the crew chief I did the engine start daily and taxi check every day and forgot how many times a day ! But when it came to flight , out came the list !

    Okay! I just have to say it now, I noted the 'casual' altitude fairly often when watching your other swell videos. I got a kick out of hearing Juan Browne chastise you for being off (and recording it) on the video. I'm a fan of you both. I see the grass roots flying as a salvation for the run-away expenses today in general aviation so the Ercoupe is a fun thing to watch. As for Juan, thanks for holding up the standards and being the positive and professional influence we need in aviation. To you both, and from an 'experienced' instructor, thanks for the video.

    • @JamesGood
      @JamesGood  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a fair cop! I am working on keeping my altitude to a higher standard of accuracy, and my center line on landing. Two things I need to work on. Thanks for the comment.

      @@JamesGood Ask Juan to fly again, the area of grassroots flying is where our great aviators have bloomed to build the industry. Both of you have built interest in general aviation flying for those who don't have the $200K to invest. As for the cross-check I could remind Juan that the airspace at low levels is for light aircraft and VFR is chiefly see and be seen even with Radar Help we must continue to keep an EYE out for that 'other' guy.
      Beauty of an Ercoupe... you keep it very well.
