This is the second time i've watched this video... it's pulling to restore my 140 89450. I flew the 140 about 500 hrs. since purchase in 1979. A truly great airplane..
I also started flying with model airplanes. I could not afford to fly yet, the babies were being born and just bought my first house. Saved up and received my pilots license in 1994. my first airplane was a 1965 cessna skylane. I currently fly a 1980 Bellanca Super Decathelon. My dad need a hanger for his P210. The hanger owner would only sell the hanger if he bought the airplane in it. Wings were on the walls, fuselage was ok, engine was on the floor. Dad review the log books and found that it was the Cessna 1946 Cessna 140 he soloed in at Van nuys airport in 1956. Dad resored the 140 and has flown it recently. Dad is 81 years young. I will make sure the 140 stays in the family. 85 HP is a kick for me to fly, a bit different then the Decathelon. I loved your video. Dave
Flew my 140 out of Livermore Airport for 5 years. I loved getting up early in the morning and watching the fog roll out over the Golden Gate. The plane almost flies itself...thanks for a great video!
Did this 140 come from Lakefield/Celina? I was an airport brat in the 80’s and this plane looks very familiar. If it is, it belonged to the airport manager/mechanic there. I’m now a pilot outside Toledo (Pietenpol) and so thankful to have grown up at the airport. Seeing this 140 brings back a flood of childhood memories. My dad and I would fly to Fort Recovery to a little farm strip with a red Tcraft, Woody Pusher, and a Spitfire project. Love the vids, Dewey! Flying by the lake and the islands is great, but my favorite aviation area is the New Carlisle, Urbana, Mad River area… with the occasional excursion to Cub Heaven (Waynesville).
What a nice lady and a nice aeroplane,they are so well suited together,its lovely to hear stories like this of long term aeroplane relationships and the pure flying pleasure these basic machines are still giving,thank you Dewey for another fine video filmed in such lovely countryside.
Dewey I love the lived in patina in that cockpit,years of flying produces such special wear,I like lived in aeroplanes ! and this beautiful early Cessna is no exception,aviation is about people as well as the airplanes they fly and this is what makes the aviation community so special in many ways and you have that special knack of blending both together.
Smiling watching you guys. I’d like a 140 but I don’t know if I’m too big lol. I’m 6’2” at 220 lbs. I think it’ll be good for me but maybe the only passenger could be a chinchilla
great video! thanks for sharing! I am ATCO who wants to be a pilot. either professional or not, have not decided yet, but anyway never give up this aim. I wonder how much do you spend each month to keep her running and cover all expenses? thanks in advance!
Dewey Davenport thanks. My youngest son and I just bought a '73 Cessna 150L and had an A&P go through it and is currently taking flight lessons. I own land in three areas and have considered putting in a grass strip and a metal hangar for him. Thanks for replying.

What a classy simple tasteful paint scheme on that 140!

Your videos are so much fun.
Great video
Really enjoy your vids Dewey😉. You’re putting the real enjoyment of flying for everyone to see. 👍
Thanks Arthur. It is nice to allow people to see some of the cool vintage aircraft.

Great looking 140! Another fine story, D!

Angel Reading thank you for continuing to support my channel. Terri is the best of the best. She is ate up with aviation for sure.

I find myself smiling every time I watch one of your videos.
I enjoy all of your videos . it seems that the reason for every flight is the pure joy of it. Pietenpol NX497AR
Got the tail up thats a good sign lol. That is a beautiful plane, looks like fun
Man this is the kind of life I wanna live!
Fantastic walk-around discription of your 120
Lovely flight. Thanks for taking us along.
There is a Pat Tritle designed Cessna 140 electric powered RC model short kit , available from Manzano Laser Works. Great flyer!!
Terry has a beautiful 140 smile
one day I hope that I can live like that to work and enjoy what you do ,only a few can say that and to truly enjoy it at home also is a blessing.
I’m afraid of planes. Yet these keep popping up and I really enjoy watching you guys fly.
So glad that you featured a female pilot!!! I really enjoyed the VLOG; keep them coming.
Love your evident pleasure at being in the air :)
Love it,need to stop bye with the 206 so I can Paraglide

I learned to fly in140 in the 90's. I'm slightly taller than you but my CFI and I fit in it.
Hi super video
I would love to live next to an airport to watch planes come and go, I love it.
I live near a little one and see them fly over daily and must say pretty awesome makes me smile when yall fly by
Amazing video! :)
Nice 140!
Luscombe Pilot thanks. im sure ill do a Vlog of a Luscombe.
That ladybird has just broken the world altitude record for ladybirds. I hope she puts in an application to the FAI.
Dewey,Think one of our NJ pilots is buying my 1950 140A. any chance to fly the 206 down and do some PPG flying? Pete
Looking at buying one.
nice gal, nice plane.
I like the simple cowl fasteners, who's design is it?
lucky you you have a cool plane
Isn't that the same type of plane Tango and Juliet had?
Yes, They had a Cessna 140.
@@DeweyDavenport thought so
Hi how does the 120 fly
How did she move the flaps like that on the pre-flight? It looks like they’re disconnected from the Johnson Bar.
I'm not up on the mechanics on their operation. I know they worked very well when we landed
Dewey Davenport that’s when you want them! Haha.
great video! thanks for sharing! I am ATCO who wants to be a pilot. either professional or not, have not decided yet, but anyway never give up this aim. I wonder how much do you spend each month to keep her running and cover all expenses? thanks in advance!
Hi I need to talk to you regarding an important matter. How should I contact you?
cool
How long is your strip?
TIM HARDIN it's almost 1600 feet.
Dewey Davenport thanks. My youngest son and I just bought a '73 Cessna 150L and had an A&P go through it and is currently taking flight lessons. I own land in three areas and have considered putting in a grass strip and a metal hangar for him. Thanks for replying.
No problem Tim. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. A 150 would definitely need more runway then my champ and New Standard.
Im 17 and i wana fly so bad its just so expensive plus i gotta take flight lessons first anyway
Just keep working towards your goals. Have you ever done a Young Eagle flight at the local airport? If not you need to do that.
SUPERNOVA you should try Powered Paragliding check out Paragliderpete on u tube
So sad that so many destroy the wonderful sound of the engine and flying sounds with music.
PS, Nice video
This guy is a salami smoker for sure.
Lol.. What does that mean?
