You've really stoked my passion for General Aviation; Jason; Mark, and Mike. I went out and bought a 1:250,000 aeronautical chart of where I live. Looking for a school now. My Grandfather, Father and Mother were pilots, though mother was a glider pilot she earned her silver C. I've completed the elementary paraglider course too. You are Ambassadors! Thank you.
Great video! It bought back a lot of memories. My first job in 1965 was as a turret lathe operator at Lycoming Motors while going to school in Williamsport, PA.
Loved seeing the final assembly area, but would also have loved to see some of the actual manufacture of the components that go to make up the core engine. I just love watching machining processes where a basic chunk of metal is converted into a precision aircraft part. Thanks for the short but sweet video.
Thanks for making videos that allow me to live my dreams of aviation vicariously through you (and the other Flying Cowboys)! My grandfather (Owen Black) used to take me up in his Cessna back when I was a teen and I reminisce about the good old days of flying with him frequently! An engineer friend of his (Neil Brutsche) designed an all metal ultralight called the "Freedom 28" and my grandfather built it for him. They took it to Oshkosh and won some awards with it 😎. Unfortunately they've both passed on. Grandpa passed while I was on my last deployment to the middle east this year and that's when I stumbled upon the videos that you and the Flying Cowboys have on TH-cam. Long winded comment. .. but I just wanted to express gratitude for your content and the quality thereof! Thanks again for another great video (distraction 😎)!
Would love to have heard commentary on Williamsport itself....has they gone there before Marcellus fracking, it would have been a ghost town. Now it's poppin!
Have you ever been here? Literally only the pricks getting bribes are okay with MarSha, ~90% of the town is against it, they had to put together a special panel a few months ago just to try to convince people that they weren't completely fucking our environment over, their initial spiel to the farmers was "it's okay if we destroy your land, we're paying you for it", now they're trying to talk about property value of farms while in the town it's plummeted, no one wants to buy fracked land because they know what they eventually means, we're going to be the next Flint. Meanwhile regulators are finding failures left and fucking right with MarSha. They employeed maybe 20-25 people from the town by the way, a fraction of what the hospital or the construction companies do. God I hate people who speak out of their asses.
@@jsullivan05 Of course I've been there. I've been there when it was a run down shit hole.... Came back during the Marcellus boom had to stand in line to get into a bar for dinner. Had to go to 2 different motels to get a Room. Not sure that you understand what economic expansion is all about
@@lestaylor8832 I live here, I mean I actually live in town, I have for over several decades now, and I don't have the slightest clue what the hell you are talking about. That fracking company has destroyed our property value and whatever "economic boom" you're talking about never happened, so many people fled when MarSha moved in the value of everything plummeted, the few families that did move here didn't nearly make up for the loss in value. Please stop talking about something you have zero clue about. MarSha is fracking hated in this town, and I sure can't wait for us to turn into Flint or any of the other several dozen towns that have been ruined by fracking. This town got sold by our republican leadership, who get FAT checks and then abandoned us, voted right my entire life, so did almost the entire town, we all voted democrat last time around, they're still trying to fix this mess and shut MarSha down for us but it's looking like we got completely and fully screwed. Now for the love of god please please please stop acting like fracking saved this town, it's damn near destroyed it.
Long trip? I'll go on a long trip in Mark's beautiful Lancair any day with no hesitation. Come on Jason you know it was a fun trip in that Beast! Thanks for sharing the adventure Jason you rock brother 🤘🤠 Mike Patey works for uber now? 😂 is there anything that that guy can't do? When are you going to take me me for a ride in your Carbon Cub?

Lycoming is totally awesome! I expect to put a 180 hp IO-360 in my Cozy MkIV one day. Looking into Sky Dynamics’ full suite of engine mods to get a bit better fuel efficiency, a tad more power, better reliability in the ignition system than mags provide, and come out a tad less on weight than the stock engine. Comparing what Sky Dynamics can do with Lycoming’s own Thunderbolt premium line.
Stupid question time as Mike is putting a 500 hp Lycome in a kitfox...but do they make a small engine like the stock kitfox engines?...Great Vlog Jason...
We stopped there just before Oshkosh and the fridge was loaded with about 80 sandwiches for incoming pilots! That place is great. Wish our little GA airport was that nice.
So I have to ask. What timing. I am thinking about buying a Lancair. Never been in one so I'll ask you guys. I'm 6'3" and 240. Not to fat just kinda big. Would I fit in there with any room to spare or would I break the plane? I know I fit in a C-130 but the gas bill is a bit much.
Troy flys that plane the most... He is a big guy.. I am going to say he is 240 and maybe 6-1. He seems to fit just fine... It's so fast you have to go across the country to be in it a long time... This airplane has an 8 cylinder lycoming engine..
@@michaelmachos8969 kids know more curse words than we do. Don't let them fool you. They have a PG section on TH-cam check it out not being sarcastic being serious.
I worked for 34 years building and testing these engines at Lycoming. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you very much!
Not much better AD than having the Patey Brothers show up

Thanks for the comment! I hope to get a new Paramotor soon and get back into it. Have fun!

Very short video .glad that you back posting
Thanks Jason. Nice tour of the plant.
Thanks, most stuff I could not film, it was a HUGE plant...
Thanks for sharing Jason. Glad to see you posting again! Can't wait to see your race plane build...love the name too!
Always cool! Thanks for taking us along.nice to see successful guys enjoying living the dream.
I love all these Bush Plane / Flying Cowboy videos, I lap them all up. The adventures all of you go on have me hooked. All the best from the UK. :)
Thanks!!
@@jasonsneed3179 You are welcome. :)

Thank You for the TH-cam video presentation.
Love the editing man that made my day. My woman's family lives about an hour away from the factory. Had no clue it was so close!
Thanks

Wow. I wish I could have come up...I'd drive just to say hi to you guys!!! #paleadstheway

Aww. I wish I had known you were in my home town. I live 10 miles from there now.
Another Awesome video Guys!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great video Jason!
Thanks!! I am learning the stuff I think nobody want to watch is actually entertaining to people, going to try and start pumping out more videos...
I can't believe you guys were in Williamsport! I would of bought you all a beer!!
You guys should bring Draco to Williamsport!! 😍
Lycoming is located in Williamsport - something I did not know. I've traveled through there on my way to New Cumberland, PA many years.
Wow that was really special . . . thanks guys 👍
That was great Jason - thank you!
Thanks!!!
It is an entertaining and educating time for me every time I watch one of your videos! I look forward to every new video that comes out! Be safe!
That’s sooo awesome!!
Great engines, cool stuff, and amazing road....errr, sky trip!

I'm learning I need more please. ! :-)

KLCG! That's my home turf!
That was kool for sure
You should tell me BEFORE coming to PA next time!
COOL !
Well they are still in business for a reason.
NICE!
I live just blocks from there and would have been your personal chauffeur if I would have known...
Does Lycoming still build the 720 engine, are there any aircraft builders that are still using them.
Nice choice of music. Who is that?
Stupid question time as Mike is putting a 500 hp Lycome in a kitfox...but do they make a small engine like the stock kitfox engines?...Great Vlog Jason...
Mike is putting 500hp in a carbon cub... Lycoming does make smaller engines, checkout the o-200.
That Uber driver looks shady 🤣😂
Skål 🍺🍺🍺
please explain why atc and mike took off in such high wind please
So what's the secret prop?
If I told you it would not be a secret....
with a gearbox how fast can one of these red bull engines spin? 4000 rpm would be real nice!
4000 is prob max... and I doubt they recommend that...
I'm pretty sure rules limit the rpm
@@drewhansen429 negative, no rules limit RPM
@@jasonsneed3179 nice! For some reason I thought there was an rpm limit
What sound is that at 1:40 timeline?
I don't really understand... Is that an engine that was just bought?
Wayne NE airport is all new because a tornado 🌪 struck it a few years ago.
Oh wow...
We stopped there just before Oshkosh and the fridge was loaded with about 80 sandwiches for incoming pilots! That place is great. Wish our little GA airport was that nice.
Major FOMO on those builds.... Little Ghost is going to miss flying with you guys.
Holy crap fuel is expensive for one trip

@@jasonsneed3179 Appreciate it Jason. Thanks
Craft persons? Really?
That's not your sister's rotax.
Tell Mark to stop cursing. Kids are watching.
he slips up every once in a while...
@@jasonsneed3179 How about bleeping it out? Thanks.
