This was so good love this
I would love to show u around the smokies. I’m 58 and my father took my family there every year when we were little. Now I did the same with my family and now my grand children. It’s a great flute from Ohio. The biggest reason I got my pilots license was to be able to fly to the smokies and enjoy everything it has to offer. Especially the park it self. U are a good husband Corey. U deserve all your success. Love to u and your wonderful family. Blue skies
Glad yall enjoyed your visit. I love the videos. Fly safe
Love me some Tennessee!
Congrats on flying again.. keep these great videos coming love to watch someone living my dream
Cory, your wife is beautiful. I know since I was the guy in the wheelchair you signed my hat at Disneyland.
More Beth in the videos!
Either way, love this content. I was amazed at your kindness and taking the time with me to really chat. I keep watching your videos over and over.
You are an inspiration
Thanks Brad
From this beautiful part of the country. Thanks for the visitor view of our home. Very cool. Blue Skies.
Candidly, I enjoyed Tennessee more than any other part of my trip. Better than Bahamas, better than the Gulf Coast and Florida Keys.... I’m a southern country boy at heart.
I really connect with it.
I’ll be back.
Thanks for watching!
I’m just living vicariously through this dude.
I live about an hour flight west of there, just south of Nashville. East Tennessee is extremely beautiful, especially in the fall when all the trees change colors.
I so agree! My wife and I are talking about our anniversary trip, can’t get pigeon forge off the list! This time with more time to explore.
The people there are something special to.
Goodness, I just seen that you were here already this year. I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here. I actually live here and this is why I want to fly. I want to get up high and see the mountains. So glad I found this video Cory. Had no Idea you were in my backyard playing.
That was an awesomely good break with the engine!
Smoky Mountains are my second home. My wife and I own up in Gatlinburg and my dad taught me to drive in those mountains. Told me if I can drive there, I can drive any where. Noticed you started the video in Covington, GA. They filmed the first 5 episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard there. Love the video. Making me homesick for that area.
Glad you shared. We love Dollywood. We are season pass holders. Going this weekend. About 1 1/2 hour drive for us. Glad you got to go. You make we want to fly!
Covington born and raised. It’s awesome to see that.
My home! Well close enough. Knoxville is around the corner. Glad you two loved the smokies. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg has so much to offer!! It’s an amazing place!!
Good good times. I gotta get me a bush plane.
Always a good time at Pigeon Forge.
Yes, it's a special place
Mmm! I’ll need to get some of that cinnamon bread and Apple butter. Check out the Titanic tour in Pigeon Forge the next time you’re there. Great tour, actual artefacts. Exact replica of the wooden staircase.
Cinnamon Bread at 4:46. Looks soooo good!
That Tennessee Apple Butter! I have been to Dollywood and YES, it's probably one of the best amusement parks in the world. Little known outside the area, but really great. Thanks for sharing this, I want to schedule a visit to Pigeon Forge! Your flying and travel vlogs are so dang good, I love it.
Thanks Brad.
That was so awesome. Like I was there. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Thanks Emmanuel!
Awesome channel, I just came across this the other week. I actually live in Covington...small world
Covington was a great pit stop. Nice airport! Thanks for watching!
On the brightside it seems like at least your engine trouble turned into an impromptu cross country with your wife. (I'm assuming you hadn't already planned flying her out commercially and finishing the trip home together in the Cub beforehand.)
I think the Dixieland stampede is of pigeon forges more notable atractions. It has been around for years. I remember being in Gatlinburg an PF in the 80s and wow has it grown. You had to of almost flown right over me to of gotten to Tennessee from Covington GA. Could of gotten some good shots of several beautiful lakes.
Wow how appropriate was that sign at Dollywood! (especially the last line)
"Nothing is impossible, if you can just believe. Don't live your life in shackles, when faith can be your key. The winner's one who keeps determination in his eyes. Who's not afraid to fly and not afraid to try." - Dolly
You are so right Dave! So right! I absolutely loved my time there. My wife and I are already planning a return trip. #DollyWood and #PigeonForge in the #SmokyMountains should be on everyone's list. Thank you so much for watching. Tell your pals and help me keep this thing going. I hope you're entertained.
I've already forwarded to a couple of friends
Thank you.
Glad it was only the fuel and not something much worse!
I know it was still a serious situation because I had a similar issue with bad fuel in a C172 in 1991, the engine quit at 500' AGL but it restarted at about 300' AGL after switching tanks, the prop was still turning from the windmilling effect. It restarted while I was while setting up for an off airport landing in a large farmer's field, I was only 3/4 of a mile from the Lincolnton airport (IPJ, this was before they added the "K" to airport Identifier codes), I took a chance and made a straight in landing at the airport rather than committing to the farmer's field landing. Problem was, if the engine had quit again I would have lost my chance to land in a field and I probably would not have made it to the airport, it was a tough decision but the engine was running strong and smooth again so it was extremely hard to not go for the airport!!
Strange thing was that I heard NOTHING from my passengers during that engine failure, my passengers were my wife, son and daughter, all I remember was finding a place to land, maintained best glide speed and going through my engine out training procedures, I later learned that my wife and kids were screaming but I had totally tuned all that out!!
At that point it was just me, the airplane, the ground and my training!
That was at about 250 hours but I practiced emergency procedures many times after getting my PPL, I didn't stop practicing when I got my license.
I remember the DPE telling me that all I had was a license to learn and those words have stuck with me ever since!!
BTW, I live just a few miles east of the Smokey Mountains and I fly through those mountains fairly often. There's not many places to land though. I usually fly a CubCrafters Sport Cub S2, it's a rental so they don't allow us to land anywhere but approved strips.
And you're right, Pigeon Forge is an awesome place to vacation! :-)
All the best! :-)
Pigeon Forge is my neck of the woods! Let me know when you make it to the Asheville area! Cheers!
Y'all come back now! Ya hear? You probably saw Clingmans Dome just east of there. It's about as high as you can walk on the east coast. When you stand on the tower, you're 41' lower than Mt Mitchell which is the tallest in the east.
I'm surprised the fuel filter didn't strain out all that Bahama's sand??? Does the Carbon Cub use a fuel pump or gravity feed from the wings down to the engine, but you did mention gasolator. So that maybe should have helped, but nothing beats a good dual fuel filter system that can be switch like switching to L or R tanks, I've also seen where a funnel filter is used when filling the tanks when out of the country or every time. You dodged a real bullet with that crossing. I bet Mike P. could design a real fail safe system. You can get bad fuel anywhere. Can you tell I'm over cautious???
Contaminated fuel ??
Im a heavy Jet Mechanic and of course all fuel is filtered to the engines.
I have zero experience with anything smaller that a 727,
Do small piston engines have fuel filters ??
Cory said there was contaminants in the carb bowl,
Only way for contaminants to get to the carb is no filter ??
Please educate me.
What was the green foliage you flew over in Tennessee? Type of trees or just bushes?
Trees, big ones.... Huge. Thick dense trees.
There are about 100 different types of trees in that green foliage.
Gday! I'm a half Filipino travel vlogger looking for amazing stories to tell anywhere in the world! Have you got any recommendations!?
@5:25 - She won't let you record her eat, doesn't realize we can see her in the reflection on your sunglasses. ;)
Hope ya had some Bar-b-que?
You sure do have a lot of faith in your single engine, flying over that much open water to the Bahamas. I wouldn't have the confidence to do that. I haven't flown an airplane in over 30 years but I have taken the first steps to get current again. When I was flying, we were not allowed to fly under 1,000 feet AGL over land and under 500 feet over water. I see that you fly well below these altitudes, skimming water and touching down anywhere you like. I'm not up on all of the rules right now but did the rules change so you are now allowed to do these things?
Open water is far less scary to me than rocky mountains I fly over at my home!
I think you need to re-read the regulations. There never has been any rule stating you have to fly over 1,000/500'. Brush up on those regs and fly with confidence!
Thanks for watching.
Thank you.@@flycory
Love Pigeon Forge - my favorite breakfast place is "Bennett's Pit BBQ" Plus a great place to eat. (hint always use the coupon books for discounts) Go to www.highonmtleconte.com for daily posts from the lodge up top of Mt LeConte. I've hiked up to it 4 times.
Bad Fuel: Just say NO!
Totally, it was a bummer for sure
I had the same thing happen to me a couple months ago. Had to abort a takeoff. Its a mystery to me how contaminated fuel gets past the fuel filter. Any explanation? I'd appreciate the insight as that condition has me very concerned.
Michael, glad you made it. Scary stuff.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You ate good. You had fun. Your wife's a cutie. You got the plane running good. What more could you ask for?
I'm well blessed for sure! Thanks. I'll pass the kindness along to the wifey! Where should I point the airplane to next? Any destinations I should hit this coming year?
@@flycory I just like watching all of what you guys do. I'm a Utah pilot who flies a corporate Citation, so my flying is pretty boring. A Kitfox one day though (been to the McBean factory twice, and the old Denney one once, and have flown with Paul Leadabrand in Boise). Keep it up.
