I love this video. I grew up in Spokane, and lived in the Everett and Marysville area for about 12 years. I 90 I have done that drive countless times.... Great road trip. I love the aircraft you have. I also attended A&P school at Felts Field, too......
Thanks Mark, the builder did an amazing job with this thing and I am fortunate to have it. I’ve been trying to fly it a lot and keep getting more & more comfortable and learn something new every day.
I can’t even believe I see old style (high drag and high amp-draw) incandescent Nav/Strobe lights on the wingtips of this otherwise, top notch performance plane! The good news is, upgrading those to modern, attractive, low drag, electrically efficient LEDs can be your first easy, low-cost and satisfying personalization of YOUR new flying machine- Congratulations 😎🎩♠️
Hey, came across this channel from the general aviation side. I’m not familiar with your boats or whatever. New subscriber here. I’m a pilot in south Louisiana. I fly a 172B. Love the videos.
WOW! JUST WOW! SOOO HAPPY FOR you! 😊 The country up there is beautiful. I live in Central Florida about an hour and a half north of the Freedom Factory and it looks nothing like that of course. Free snow removal here though! Lol! Still hoping for the Sprint Boat Track there! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
I didn’t even know they called it the Traumahawk until after my training lol. I thought it was a good little trainer but really had nothing to compare it to.
Nice plane, first thing you need to do is install a rocket propelled airplane parachute if ever you engine quits mid flight & you have nowhere to land safely one of those can save you & your passenger's lives.
@@JollyRogerAviation Mike Patey built one into Scrappy, if he can do it to Bush Plane made of new & used parts that he created himself then you can do the same as you fabricate your own stuff too.
It's a sleek capable plane. Among the best available, it could just be lighter and have more modern engines and a chute. Much faster than Cirrus SR22 and vastly cheaper. I have a 1.5kg reserve chute from paragliders that's nice to have as a backup. Drysuit too for going over water. What we really need is sleek planes like Lancairs but with small turbofan jet engines. And pressurized to take advantage of thin air. Then we have private jet freedom for modest money. It's a completely overlooked segment and so obvious.
@@JollyRogerAviation turboprop is actually the worst of both worlds. typically very expensive and complex yet remains the single engine front colonial propeller noise, visual obstruction and lesser look. Jet is quiet, smooth and lends itself naturally to dual engine redundancy. A turbofan jet is much simpler than a turboprop. and difference in fuel economy is modest if any
Mostly ‘37’s for Canadian back in the day. Then they were bought out by Air Canada which had airbus 320’s and others. He was a mechanic, not flight crew. Worked on the engines and avionics. Miss the days of being able to get tours and walk the hangar. Retired as a contractor signing off on the maintenance done at their hubs like tel aviv etc.
If it goes fast I'm into it. I'll be more into the aviation than jet boat. But I still dig the jet boat. When do the air races between you and Cleeter start? 😉
Now I know why you and Garrett (Cleetus) get along so well... you're both into aviation AND racing. I met Garrett at the airport Heavy D and I fly out of here in Utah. Such a nice guy!
alright straightup, YOU BOUGHT AN AIRPLANE TO SCOUT OUT FOR MORE COOL EXCLUSIVIELY OFF THE KNOWN RIVER SYSTEMS to go play with your boats, RIGHT?? its part of the BOATS SUPPORT SYSTEM!!!?? Lol
The use of the speed brakes are used to slow down but you are forgetting you DO NOT want to chop thr power at altitude and “shock cool the engine ! That is where the speed brakes come in
I'm looking forward to following along. I'm wanting to buy a Lancair 320/360 or Legacy so it will be neat to see how you progress.
Make sure you read up about the different wings and cockpit size when comparing the 320/360 vs the Legacy. There’s quite a bit changed.

That’s awesome 🤙
Happy to follow along here as well my friend. Looks amazing!! Well done Sir👍🇺🇸
Thanks John! Thanks for coming over!
Gorgeous plane. Am sure you'll pick it up quickly with your background and experience. Enjoy!

I like that idea!
Love it i live in Vancouver..always going across stevens pass to the tri cities...love the northwest.
It’s beautiful around here!
Congratulations Eric, Awesome plane👍
Thank you! John built an amazing bird!

I’m super excited you found the channel. It’s cool to get some actual GA followers on here. Welcome!
That is a beauty. You are a lucky guy.
Thank you, it really is a beautiful build!

It is some of the prettiest flying in the world!
@@JollyRogerAviation Obviously!
I love this. I want to get my licenses so bad. I live in s.oregon ease of access ,not very much.
Just do it! No regrets!
That's a sweet plane. I learned in a Tomahawk too, loved it.
I didn’t even know they called it the Traumahawk until after my training lol. I thought it was a good little trainer but really had nothing to compare it to.
Recently retired center controller 28 yrs. need to get back to flying more. I enjoy these videos thanks
I am happy to see you flying planes
Me too lol
That is a sweet little plane, congratulations!
Thank you! I’m loving it!!!
My first vid of yours. Loved it.
Uploading a new one now. Let me know what you think about the format.
Just found you looking forward for more vids.
I need to get some more out! Glad you found the channel
Щаслива людина)! З таким гарним літаком!
Congrats mate, she’s beautiful
Thanks Jarrod! It really is pretty!

Not sure you can just install those. They’re built into the cirrus

I do like the idea of small turboprops for their reliability

My dad used to work for Canadian Airlines/Air Canada and he tells stories about flying in the jump seat on trips.
Which planes?
Mostly ‘37’s for Canadian back in the day. Then they were bought out by Air Canada which had airbus 320’s and others. He was a mechanic, not flight crew. Worked on the engines and avionics.

Now you're talking!!! Great choice!
It’s JIMMY!!! Brother look me up if you’re ever up in the PNW and want to go for a rip!
at first glance i thought it might be a Cirrus & then the tail gave it away, nice, verry nice...
Similar lines for sure
If it goes fast I'm into it. I'll be more into the aviation than jet boat. But I still dig the jet boat. When do the air races between you and Cleeter start? 😉
Turbines are cheating lol
JET BOAT for the ''short attention span moments'' and the AIRBOATS well aircraft ;) .....little suped up CUB on FLOATS ??? lol
Now I know why you and Garrett (Cleetus) get along so well... you're both into aviation AND racing. I met Garrett at the airport Heavy D and I fly out of here in Utah. Such a nice guy!
I’ve enjoyed watching him fly that cub!
Maybe a. New intro video for the aviation.?
Have a new intro, need the exit clip now
I like it because it has the Trump air paint job! Trump 2024🇺🇸!
what a bird!!
It really is
alright straightup, YOU BOUGHT AN AIRPLANE TO SCOUT OUT FOR MORE COOL EXCLUSIVIELY OFF THE KNOWN RIVER SYSTEMS to go play with your boats, RIGHT?? its part of the BOATS SUPPORT SYSTEM!!!?? Lol
lol busted. And snowmobiling areas 😉

Yesss thanks for coming over!
Ok I have to comment...... I can't believe you got passed by a Ford going over Snoqualmie Pass. 🤣🤣
Lol brother I love that you saw that 🤣. I was filming & driving with 1 hand and one eye on the road…he caught me when I was vulnerable lol
🤣 Great video even if you did get passed by a Ford. 🤣🤣
Let's play a game... its called where can we fly to and grab a killer burger... 😆 🤣
Yessss I’m in!
Subscriber Number 15. Not as cool as 13 but still cool.
Love it! Welcome!
