    This has to be your best video yet. What a beautiful plane. The coffee talk mixed in during the planning session had me laughing out loud. Keep up the great work!

    What a beautiful bird, thanks taking us on flight. Sorry for previous owner selling it, but said will go up and see it again & gained new friend.

    Great video guys. Loved the nod to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. My dad was a Navy pilot and later an aviation attorney. He had every rating you could get, including seaplane and lighter than air.
    He owned one airplane in his life - a Waco.

      Off year for us at the Festival of Flight- fell on a bad weekend. I’m still off coffee! Not sure I will remain that way- maybe just a reset! Thanks for watching.

    The intermixed BS sessions with the flight planning is definitely part of the fun of committing aviation! Great video and cool airplane! Hope to own a Jacob’s powered bird (C195) someday myself!

  • @CCitis

    Sweet. I live in Vancouver. Here’s my unsolicited advice as someone who’s been off caffeine for awhile. 1. Drink a big glass of ice water right when you get up. Hydrates, and something about the cold starts to get me going. 2. Do something active. Get your heart pumping a bit. I find that increased circulation wakes me up more as well. Always love the vids, love the piss jug on the table during pre flight… necessary kit.

    One early Saturday morning I went to my flight school at Compton airport and we had a brand new Great Lakes just come in on Friday and the owner of
    the school said... "want to take a ride ?,.. I'll close up and we can go play "........... well I said no way (yeh sure😁)..... it was the best hour of my student life and I have
    to thank Mike Rust @ CPM Aviation and the Doctor that bought this plane and never knew we had so much FUN that day. Nice ride along Rich, I know how much fun
    that is....... and my Student time was back in '79 and it still seems like yesterday.

    • @FlyingwithRich
      @FlyingwithRich  ปีที่แล้ว

      Awesome! I have so many people who ride in the Waco or any open cockpit biplane tell me it’s one of the coolest things they have ever done and will never forget it!

    Hi 👋 Rich. I appreciate you creating the mixed content for this video. The landscape is phenomenal. A trip like that would be hard beat in a Pilot’s career.
    What’s your goal with the coffee? It can be hard to quit in an office environment when someone says let’s go talk about this over a coffee.

    • @FlyingwithRich
      @FlyingwithRich  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching! I’m not sure on the coffee - I was just feeling like I was drinking a little too much coffee. Don’t really miss it too much. Need to find a good substitute - any suggestions?

      Looking forward to your next video Rich.
