On this video I will go over my own experience of being aircraft ownership. Was it a good or a bad idea to buy my own airplane? How has it changed my life and my family's life. The video includes the airplane's restoration process and some of our best memorable family trips. This is my own aircraft ownership experience.
I bought a Cherokee Six from a friend that lost his medical. He made me a deal that I could not refuse, but I told him that I really did not want a Cherokee Six and would be selling the airplane as soon as I found something better. He said that he understood but still wanted me to have the airplane. That was in 1992 and I am still looking for something better.
That is an incredible story Rickard but not to my surprise. You landed in a great deal with a great airplane. Thanks for sharing my friend!
If you ever decide to give it away, can I be the friend that you give a great deal? XD
I've been looking for a Cherokee Six but can't find anything under $100k these days. That's not easy to afford when you have three kids.
As a retired GA mechanic, I can confirm the Cherokee 6 is about the best value 'load hauler' out there. It is rugged and capable with a simple and strong fixed gear and manual flap operation, meaning there is very little to go wrong, also annual checks won't bust the bank. This owner did a great job in gradually upgrading and modernising his airplane. The important thing as usual is to search for a low time well maintained airframe and engine. Exterior and interior can be tidied up, or just use it 'as is'. The PA32 Cherokee 6 is a direct evolution of the PA28 series, sharing many airframe parts and the legendary reliability of the smaller planes. Hell... I even had a part share in one myself many years back !
That is just about what my mechanic told me when I was searching for a bird and so far the Six has been solid! Thanks for connection sharing your comment. Have a great day!
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks Eric very, very much!

Another great video. Wonderful promotion of general aviation!
Thanks for the comment Robert! I am really a fan of general aviation and I think it keeps America connected and stable. I appreciate your support and I hope to be an inspiration to others as many of you are to me.
Enjoyed your journey with the cherokee 6!
Thank you very much for joining me my friend! God Bless You!
Great video! I’m researching buying one of these right now and enjoy your videos
Frank, best of luck on your research and I hope you find the right one for you. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos and I’ll try to keep pumping them out as much as possible. Thanks for your comment, stay in touch, and keep me posted on your research progress! Have a great day!
Nicely done, my friend! Loved watching this. The plane looks amazing and your editing was excellent. Thanks for sharing.
The Gipper, I have watched and love several TH-camrs that I consider to be at the top of their game. To that end; I can't even begin to express how all of you make me feel. It is an absolute honor to hear comments such as yours with so many out there that I'd consider the elites of this game. I do this because aviation has been my passion since my younghood years and I enjoy every moment of it. Once aviation is in your blood it stays with you for life. Thanks for watching and for your inspirational comment. I express my sincere thanks to you! Have a blessed and prosperous New year!
I am a private pilot that has been grounded due to a heart condition. I had to sell my Cherokee 235 that i loved to fly. I miss flying! I wished there was a way i could enjoy what you jave enjoyed. God bless you, and keep them flying!
Ho Thomas...thank you very much for sharing and thank you for joining me on the right seat. God bless you and your family !
Great vid brotha!!!! Love the passion and how you share it with your family! Very inspiring. Great job man!!!!!
I appreciate that very much lz Corrales and thank you for watching and for your inspiring comment! I absolutely agree with you. It makes a lot of sense to share these adventures with the family to build memories. I am just extremely grateful that we are all able and willing to share this passion together! Welcome aboard and Happy New Year!
Thanks for Sharing your video, I am delighted to hear that your Cherokee six is a cherished member of your family. I am looking forward to seeing more fun videos of your family enjoying your Cherokee six
Hi Mad on Sport! Thanks a lot for the comment and welcome to the channel my friend!
fantastic video, thank you for sharing .. God bless you and your family keep you all safe while building memories.
Thanks a lot Mehmood and my pleasure! God bless you and your family also 😀
Beautiful plane and upgrades!
Thanks a lot Pete! :-)
This was your best video yet. Thank you
Thank you very much Dbracing!
Thanks for this video man. It’s great to hear someone speak plainly about their needs and why they chose a plane, and also that you filmed how you did the upgrades
No problem John! Thanks for letting me know!
I love it man. I just bought into a pa-32-300 and I love her so much! Thank You for sharing
You are very welcome MaDronePilot! The Pa32-300 is a nice machine. Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment! Stay in touch and have a blessed day!
Great video amigo. I love how informative your videos are and how much information you’re willing to share about airplane ownership.
Thanks Steve! I wished I had a video of sort when I was looking so as a result I want to help others as much as I possibly can. Have a great day amigo!
Excellent video. Currently, I’m a newer vfr pilot in a pa-28 180. I enjoyed the video and the aircraft info.
Jonathan, congratulations on your VFR pilot success. I did most of my training on a Piper 28 161 Warrior. I am glad that you enjoyed the video and the info. Thanks for sharing and connecting! Have a great day!
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much perrysplus! I am glad you enjoyed the video. Your comment brings me joy and happiness! Have a blessed day!
Really enjoyed the video. My late father had a Cherokee 6 back in the 1970's.
terryzx6, thanks for sharing and for connecting. I am pretty sure your father left you with some great memories in the Cherokee Six! It is a great machine! God bless you and have a great day!
May your business continue to grow so that you can take us on many more adventures. You mentioned some places I’ve never seen covered by you tube pilots. I’m a lapsed PPL in MA and dying to get back in the left seat. My son begins his training soon.
.
I really appreciate you Benny for sharing such a motivational comment. I hope that you find that left seat soon and that your son may triumph in reaching the PPL goal and beyond. Thanks for sharing and connecting with me. Have a great day Benny!
Well done indeed. Love to see you and all your brothers (in law) in the plane with you. Kudos to the guy with the Barca shirt!
Thanks for watching and the comment Wiwa!
Great video! Thinking about a Cherokee6 or Saratoga myself. Great information
If you do, definitely keep me posted so that I can congratulate you. Thank you for watching and have a great day!
Great video!

Congrats on your Air Truck! Nice job bringing an old bird new life. Many safe flights to you and your family!
Thanks Jeremy! God bless you and have a great day!
Great video, and points. It can’t be said enough, the ability to make vacations or life long experiences for loved ones is unmatched.
Thank you for sharing the comment Chris. That machine has been a life changer!
Loved the vid! I'm not quite in a position to get my private pilot cert yet, much less buy a plane, but videos like this are inspiring! Subscribed and I can't wait to see more.
Welcome and thank you D. & L.. My #1 goal is to motivate and inspire so you are on the right track. Always feel free to comment and aske questions that you feel are going to help you out. Take care and have a great day!
Bro! You are living my dream. Kudos!
bryantturner, trust me, I had a lot of dreams also before it happened. Thanks for your support and comment! Please keep in touch!
Love the video amigo! Showing the wife for all the great reasons to buy myself a Cherokee 6!
I had you in mind when making this video Nate! I know you guys will enjoy it!
Congrats on the purchase. I haven't quite reached the flight time per year yet to justify buying(in my mind) but love seeing success stories of people that do. The transformation of the aircraft is absolutely stunning, well done. I fly out of CFO and am ATC at DEN so I'm sure our paths may cross in the future. Happy Flying!
Thanks a lot orlondo1, I do hope we cross paths at some point. Please keep in touch and thank you for watching and for dropping a comment. Have a great day!
Love it 😻 very good video as always , good job 👏😎
Thank you my #1 fan!
@@FlyingDirty Always ♥️😎
This video is motivating me to complete and achieve my pilot license. Nice job on the video.
Docdrew, thank you for watching and sharing your wonderful comment. It’s great to always hear that these videos play a part in motivating aviation enthusiasts. Please stay in touch and also keep me posted on your PPL progress!
Brilliant work you're doing with your channel. Thank you for sharing your family trips and your excitment for aviation. The "Flying Bug" is mightily at work .... in gratitude for this and other channels like it, I am proudly sharing I have been bitten by the bug. Booked a discovery flight for this coming weekend and anticipating it will only highten the fever for flying lol Thanks again for the content...keep up the great work, Hermano!
I really appreciate you sharing your comment with me a great deal. It means a lot to me to know that I am a part of something worth sharing and contributing. By catching the Flying Bug I can tell you that you are in great company my friend. Aviators are like a magnetic brotherhood! Take care and please keep me posted with your success!
good interesting videos as always!
Thank you Estrella. I was watching a few of your videos and really enjoyed the Sun Flower video. Thanks for always staying connected!
Loved the vlogs. Just started my PPL at KAPA today! Looking forward to bumping into you sometime. Piper was the choice of aircraft today! Cheers sir
Thank you Todd! I am very excited for you my friend. I believe you will not regret getting that PPL ticket. It's extremely rewarding! I am certain that you'll see me or even hear me flying around for sure. Keep in touch and definitely keep me posted in your progress. Best of success to you!
proud new subber!! love the channel
Welcome aboard Sean! Thank you and I appreciate you a lot! I'll keep pumping out more videos for you buddy!
@@FlyingDirty sweet! tho unlicensed, ive been a life time aviation buff. used to hang out all day at gillespie field in el cajom as a lil boy, usually ending up over by the tower, capping off my day with a tour inside the tower. got 10 or so logged officially, including another 15-20 jus flying rite seat or left with a dear friend who is still a broker today. 3-4 hrs p210n, 3-4 in '62 skylane, and 1 or 2 couple in a pa-32 300. one day i dream of at least a sport pilot rating tho. being an o.t.r reefer driver after 12yrs of submarine duty makes it hard, but may at least take an occasional lesson jus to fly....
That's a beautiful airplane! Nicely done, congrats!
Thank you very much WFlyer 79.
WEPA! Bori. Nice Video, Nothing like Aviation. We love to come to visit sometime and see your part of the US.
Hector, You are absolutely welcome to visit. You'll love the Rockies for sure! Thank you for the comment Hector and you have a Blessed day!
That was an awesome video. You are living my dream but I will be in the skies with you in a few more years.
Definitely look me up when you do Rick! God bless you!
That’s awesome what great memories you are making with your family. I drove over the road for thirty years with my dogs and have seen all those same places. It would of been even better to bring friends and family on my adventures.
Thanks Robert! The memories and experiences are incredible my friend.
Wow plane looks brand new! Well done
Thanks Sam! Happy New Year and stay safe!
Working on my license right now and thinking that maybe the 6 would be the plane for my family as well. Great channel and keep it up
I wish you the best in getting that license! Don't lose focus. You and your family will treasure those moments. I think the Six is a great platform. Although, I am looking for something with a little more speed for those business trips when I travel alone. Thanks and keep me posted on your progress!
I found your channel two days ago and i must say that i enjoy it very much. you have a beautiful airplane and a beautiful family. it is like traveling america from my living room. haha. and i do enjoy very much your music that you use in your videos. the music goes very well with what we are all watching. kudos to you. I fly a Piper Cherokee Challenger and i enjoy it very much. you have really peaked my interest with your dynon and avidyne equipment as i am due for a panel upgrade myself. keep making great videos and i will keep watching. fly safe, stay safe, stay happy
Bill, Thanks a lot for your words of encouragement. I really like the Dynon and the Avidyne. It make flying so much easier! Please keep me posted with your panel upgrade. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
They are great planes. Love your paint job! Beautiful
Thanks a lot! :-)
I once flew out of Skagway Alaska in a Cherokee Six with Pilot, 6 adults, baggage for all 6. How he stowed all those bags was amazing. Plane took off no problem! 6th passenger sat on someone's lap. 1974.
Hi Arne, the useful load of the Six is incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful plane. Especially after the upgrades!
Thank you buddy 😀
Just found your channel, and glad I did!!! GA defiantly makes the world a smaller place. Thanks for sharing!
Good morning Chuck, I totally agree with you and I want to contribute as best as I possibly can to promote our General Aviation Freedoms. I am truly excited that you have found my channel and I hope to grow along with all of you together as a family of General Aviation Fanatics. One thing I really love about General Aviation is that the community is very close and tight. Thanks for the comment Chuck, you all make me feel very connected and inspired!
You are living my dream my friend! Good on you! Perhaps one day 👍 Merry Christmas 🎄
Tariq, this was my dream since I was a teenager. I never let the dream go and it grew stronger the older I got. Until one day I went for it! Thanks for watching and your inspirational comment my friend! Have a great day and a Merry Christmas!
Cheers from a JEFA flyer. I fly N505JF. Great job on your PA-32. All the upgrades are awesome!
Thanks a lot iceman952fl, Please keep in touch and have a Happy new year!
I just started following your journey and you've made a great choice for your mission
I have three kids but they're all grown. I bought a 1982 Cessna T182RG from my son in laws grandfather, and it's been a GREAT airplane for My mission. We're all on our own journey and it's very cool to see other people's choices.
Hello Jim! Thanks a lot and I admire your wisdom. It seems like so many people are brain locked and never want to see others do things their way. I always ask myself, how can anyone learn by being the same? Like you, I rather enjoy the uniqueness in what others have to offer. I appreciate your comment and I hope you have a great day.
Great video! I too am thinking about a 6-300. I currently own a 182 but I would really like to have the extra space and seating capacity. Good looking family too, congrats!
Thank you Martin for watching and for your comment. I don't think you'd be disappointed with a 6-300 for that extra seating capacity. All around a great and economical six seater. Keep me posted on your search progress! Happy New Year!
4:22 I literally yelled out, "Ooh boy, look at that!" Nice work man! I'm starting my PPL journey this year (been eyeing it since the end of 2019 - but COVID). Now's the time baby!! Thanks for the inspiration!
OK, now you have me curious on 4:22, let me check it out...........Oh yes...That was an exciting moment. Just knowing that I was going to fly away with a different looking airplane. I wish you the very best with your journey Louis. Keep that dream alive and don't lose it! Also, keep me posted on your progress. The reason I make these videos is for guys like yourself because I want to be a part of that journey. Keep in touch and thank you very much for watching and for your great comment!
It's an amazing journey! I hope you've gotten started! I'm getting ready to Solo soon and i'm excited!
Great video. Looking forward to more videos and see your channel grow. Working towards my PPL currently and like you I have a dream of exploring the country in an airplane capable to carry my entire family and the Cherokee 6 ticks a lot of my boxes. I’d be real nice to see a video with the numbers behind reconditioning an airplane like the Cherokee 6. The upgrades you performed are absolutely on point and a nice template for many I’m pretty sure. Subscribed
Camilom3, welcome to the channel and thank you for your support! I wish you the very best with your PPL. I’ll definitely start working on a video for you with some numbers and to give the audience a general idea of the cost involved. Keep me posted with your PPL progress! Have a great night!
LOVE this video man! My family and I are in stage one process of this. Currently working of my ground work then will start flying. I think you nailed it with the Cherokee 6! This is exactly what I am looking for, that useful load is what has sold it for me! Happy flying to you guys; I’m in Boise, I’m sure we will cross paths sometime.
# 29, I wish you the greatest success and hope you achieve your goal for searching the family airplane. I am certain that you all will create great memories. Boise is on my bucket list of places to visit and I sure hope to cross paths with you and your family. God bless you and your family and have a great day!
I live in El Salvador and I am 63.... just bought a Piper Arrow.... my brother is a pilot and stop flying for 30 years until we decided to keep our dreams going in life.... so we are flying twice a week... my son is 35 and just did his first solo flight and eager to get his license. Great video.... keep it up and let us enjoy what we like the most....
Luis, my other side of the family are originally from El Salvador. The Arrow is a great machine. I hope your son continues and obtains his license because he will enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for watching and your comment and I wish you all the best!
Hi Luis, do you have a reputable flight school in El Salvador? Or is your son getting his PPL in the US?
Yes, we have five or six reputable schools here in El Salvador... mu brother got his in Miami Fla, and my son is getting his here in El Salvador.... I am not sure if I am getting mine... at 63 I have 2 pilots in the family.... if neither one can’t, a private pilot charges $25.00 to fly our plane.... at that cost, I rather enjoy the scenery.... 😂😂😂😂.... Don't you think ????.... Remember, El Salvador is a very small country.... The size of Massachussets....
@@luisr.fernandez955 Thank you for your reply, very nice. I remember El Salvador, went to a restaurant at the Intl Airport for a meal in 1994. we were there with a cargo plane from Miami. Always wanted to come back. Do they also train commercial, instrument and multi engine at those flight schools? Maybe you can give me the name of one , perhaps one that uses piper aircraft. I love those. Saludos , Franz.
@@franzvoss4808 I am from Costa Rica and my wife is from Nicaragua.... lived in Miami 14 years and my 3 kids were born in Miami..... we love El Salvador.... never regretted coming back in 1992...... if you ever come back to El Salvador.... let me know, we will take you around......... About schools.... 3 that I would recommend are: Cea Flight School, PANAS School and Flight Training School.... I believe the last one uses Pipers..... best regards
Conjo!!!!! Mannnnn I’m right there with my man! Flying is a true passion we share and the ability to share it with your family is like nothing else. Your son talking to ATC got me pumped, that was awesome! Congratulations my man blues skies and tailwinds to you!
Fahali, Comments like yours are extremely inspirational for me. You are absolutely correct when saying that sharing our true passions with others is like nothing else. Not even close! I could have used the tail winds a few days ago on my way back from Dallas LOL. God bless you and thanks for sharing your great thoughts!
@@FlyingDirty God bless you and your family as well! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Thank you for this video sir! I’ve been on the fence about getting my private pilot's license. Seeing how you’re making a lot of memories with your family, it encourages me to take that step to get my pilots license.
My pleasure Armando! Being a private pilot added a life full of adventures and incredible experiences. 😀
Love it! I have been thinking about a Cherokee six for a while as we are a family of 5 as well. I ended up doing what you started to do though. I bought a Cherokee 140 and have since done an engine overhaul, new interior, and avionics upgrade. I found that the 140 will probably be perfect as my kiddos are all close to leaving home. She's not as fast, but pretty economical to operate. Thanks so much for sharing!
I totally agree...1 is already gone but still have two more to go. Once they go I may consider a smaller and faster airplane. But I may still keep the Six because I do like having the ability to transport heavy stuff. Thanks for the comment!
Hey what's up from Longmont Colorado. I'm looking at some different airplanes than the 6. A cardinal 177 and the Piper arrow III turbo. Even though your video is about the 6 I appreciate You sharing your experience about your aircraft ownership journey!
Hey Just Dew It, I don't know much about the Cardinal but I do know and really like the Piper Arrow Turbo. Personally, I need the room. But I am considering a smaller and faster airplane for my business solo trips. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Since we are neighbors perhaps we will run into each other at some point. Take care, stay in touch and keep me posted on your progress with your airplane. Have a great day :-).
man- this is the american dream in my eyes- you and your family are truly blessed-
i grew up homeless (drug addict parents) been working since i was 14- had 3 jobs in high school and was helping pay the rent for my parents and for bills- joined the military- met and married a tomboy gal that was gorgeous, smart as a whip / college masters, and a relentlessly hard worker ( i have no idea what she sees in me lmao but all my bad luck in life clearly was to balance out that winning lottery ticket of a woman)- between the two of us after 10 years together now weve managed to finally make about 480 a year (not bad for a knucklehead from the streets eh?) i have been for the past few days researching and planning on buying a plane for us- this exact plane is what to get (piper pa-32 cherokee 6) so this video and others like it is encouraging me greatly that this isnt too complicated for someone dumb like me to understand (hopefully lol)
me and my better half are planning to finally have kids now- were praying its not too late for us- but how unreal it would be for my kids to grow up in clouds and not in the gutter like their father did-
you guys are so awesome and what a dream you guys are living and i hope me and my beautiful wife will have too-
Hi Timothy; what an inspiring story! I always say, life is about the choices we make going forward. The mistakes of the past should be used as learning experiences. The Six is a great airplane. It’s also such a great triumph to have a winning woman on your side. Both should work hard for one another and take care of each other. Great job in taking a different path 😀
The Cherokee 6 is one of the most overlooked acft made. It is a great airplane for families. The useful load is insane, true it's not the fastest but it will get you there. The fixed gear is one of the toughest ever made. Nicely done.
Thanks for sharing your comment Donald! I totally agree with you. So far, the Six has been solid and we pack the heck out of it on those special Holiday trips. It's very comfortable and, best of all, the maintenance has been very smooth as my mechanic predicted. Take care and have a great day!
Lovely experience, hope to do the same one day , wish you and your family the best 🎉
Thanks Gerald! Keep your focus and you’ll get there.
@@FlyingDirty thank you 🙏, took my first lesson last weekend - going straight to the 6 seater 🥹, will stay focused 😎
@@Gerrypickles1940 That’s excellent! Congratulations on your first lesson. The Cherokee Six is a great comfortable airplane.
Really inspiring I’m about to start my PPL
Thanks Jonathan and congratulations to you! I hope you enjoy it. It's been one of my best life experiences and I hope the same goes for you. 😀
This was awesome! Ill share in on the facebook page!
Thanks and I am glad you enjoyed it! Have a great day!
Nice video. The wife and I are looking at the Cherokee 6/300 to purchase as well. Seems a perfect airplane for our mission of family trips.
Bernie, I don't think you can go wrong with the Six. It's very affordable and will get you places! Let me know how your search goes and stay in touch!
This is only the second of your videos that I have seen. I’m retired now and have about 140 hours but got my PPC. I’m planning around 20 years of flying with future grandchildren, god willing. You have given me great food for thought - thank you!
Ha, PPC, I have not heard that in a while. PPC would be the correct form as opposed to PPL. I now even started to say PPL but it’s not a license, it’s a certificate! I hope your future grandchildren get to enjoy this incredible experience. I’ll have more great informative content coming up. Thank you always!
Nice vid. Well done! Cherokee Six is a great airplane!
Thanks for stopping by and for the comment ATP Mark. Have a great day!
Keep up the great videos. I’m a student pilot at KBJC, bought a Cherokee 140/180 to train in and build hours and just solo’d last Sunday. It was great seeing the transformation of your Cherokee as I want to eventually upgrade to what you have. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Thanks blue_yonder_360. I am certainly glad that I can contribute to the wonderful aviation community. I think it's a great idea to buy your own airplane to train in and congratulations on your first solo experience. You'll never forget that moment! Thanks for the great comment and stay in touch throughout your private pilot process!
@@FlyingDirty Check out my channel (blue_yonder_360). It has content from when my CFI and I flew my plane back from Georgia and some of my training up to recently.
You got it buddy! I'll take a look at it right this minute!
Thank you for the content. I’ve enrolled my eldest son in flight training and I will soon follow…
That is pretty awesome 😎. By far, one of the best things I’ve ever done! Best wishes to you both. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Congrats on the upgrade. She is a beautiful bird.
Thanks TXLorenzo! 😀
Seeing the smiles on your brother in laws faces in this video is how you know owning an airplane is priceless. 5 guys no problem. I own a piper arrow 200hp but was strongly considering a cherokee 6. I think my next plane will be a 6 seater for sure.
Baxter, the Arrow is a very nice airplane. Just me personally, if you did not need the extra space I'd stay with the Arrow. But it is surely nice to have those extra seats. I totally agree, I truly enjoy sharing these experiences with others as much as I possibly can. God bless!
@@FlyingDirty check out my Arrow Instagram page @piperarrowpilot it’s my baby haha. We have similar paint colors with the black and gold going on

Gracias Julio por sintonizarnos y dejar un comentario edificante. Inspirar a otros es definitivamente mi objetivo de este canal para devolver el animo que muchos me han dado. Que Dios te cuide y tengas un dia maravilloso.
@@FlyingDirty Nuevamente gracias, de verdad tu historia me da la oportunidad de seguir no solamente sonando si no tener la seguridad que si se puede. Espero pronto conocerte!! Si algun dia visitas GA (ATL or Peachtree city) por favor hazmelo saber!!! Happy landings and blue skies for you !!
@@juliocesarmendezcarvajal7042 Julio, Realmente me enorgullece poder inspirarte a ti y a otros a alcanzar sus metas. Realmente es posible, así que no lo dejes ir. Mantente en contacto y veamos si algún día aterrizo en ATL.

Hi Russ! Thanks for dropping in! Have a great day and happy skies!
Great video. Beautiful airplane. Beautiful family.
Thanks Hans! Your are very much appreciated for that wonderful comment! Have a great day and please stay connected!
@@FlyingDirty It was well deserved. Thanks for making the video.
I'm currently looking for a Piper Comanche and I'm thinking of putting in a panel similar to yours. So, if you can, I would really like to see a video where you outline the costs of restoring the airplane and how much of the work you paid others to do and how much work you did yourself. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing thoughts about the Six...my thoughts exactly...come on up to MYR
Hi buddy! Is MYR Myrtle Beach, SC? I’ve been there when I lived in Jacksonville, Fl. The Carolinas are very beautiful and scenic. Thanks a lot and we’ll see if I can make it up your way one of these days!
Your airplane looks outstanding!
Thank you my friend! 😀
Thank you, fantastic!
Thanks B Cole - You are appreciated! God Bless you!
Well done. Private pilot. 2 kids and a wife that I pray one day can have the same experiences you have given your family. The coolest. Great airplane great video great family. Would love tips and comms with you sir
Thank you Yow for your kind and inspiring words.
Very nicely done. I got my PPL in 1976. I almost bought a Cherokee 6-300 back in 1977.Haven't flown in 30 years.
I guess I missed out on a lot. Six kids and work, work, work. God bless & ENJOY.
Thanks Laddie! Thanks for sharing and being connected with me. May God bless you and your six wonderful children! Please keep in touch!
Idk if you'll see this, but we live in Jax. Been here all our lives. JSO for almost 20yrs. Found your channel today, and new subscriber. You are now the closest thing I have to a friend "in" Jax that has an interest in flying. 👊 Looking into PPL here lately and am also interested in the same plane for the same reasons. I look forward to watching more of your content. 😊
Hi Shaun! I was raised in Jax and seen that place change throughout the years. I used to have a lot of friends that worked for JSO and I used to work for JIA in traffic enforcement many years ago. I hope you go for the PPL Shaun. It is by far one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The Cherokee Six is a remarkable family hauler and a great comfortable airplane. Not sure if you have had time to see other videos but I recently also acquired a Turbo Saratoga. Not nearly the same useful load as the Six but I wanted the turbo for the density altitude here in Denver. I hope you keep me up to date with your progress and don’t let that dream slip away my friend. Thanks for sharing and I welcome you to the channel Shaun! Have a great day! 😀
Tremendo video hermano. I'm working on my private pilot's license and you inspire me my friend.
Muchas gracias mi hermano Don! Keep up with the private's license my friend. I have no doubt that it will bring you a lot of joy and satisfaction. The fact that I can inspire others as others inspire me is what keeps me pushing out these videos. Thanks for your motivating comment and for also inspiring me! Dios te bendiga Don Moore!
If you don't mind asking where are you learning?
I want to start learning to fly.
@@jucava00 I'm in Georgia my friend. My flight school is www.advancedaviation.com/
Awesome radio work from your son ,,,, sure hope all your kids will get the flying bug,,,, God Bless
I am sure hoping also Bobby! Coincidently, just about 3 minutes before I read your comment he told me that he wanted to go flying tomorrow. But I told him probably not because of a weather system moving in the area. I am also hoping to take him with me to Sun n Fun this April so him and I can have 1 on 1 time. Thank you for watching and the comment Bobby and God bless you!
Beautiful plane!
Thanks 😀
This is awesome. I’ve always wanted one of these and I was just in Denver
Thanks again Philip....Happy new year!
Great video I just love what you did to the airplane super beautiful colors and that avionics is great I'm still a student pilot but plan to buy an airplane in the next couple of years
Go for it Mike! Getting my PPL was one of the best things I've ever done in my life. It opens up a world full of adventure. Please keep your dreams and make them come true. Thanks for sharing your comment and I wish you the very best in accomplishing your mission! Have a great New Year Mike!
@@FlyingDirty thank you and yes I will continue my journey in learning to fly I've only got 11.6 hours right now and had to fire my CFI he just was always angry and made it extremely difficult for me to concentrate on what I was doing it got to the point where I was afraid to make a mistake if you understand that concept anyways you two have a wonderful safe New year I'll be back to my flight lessons on Saturday the 2nd yay God I would also like to say I'm 63 years old but healthy enough to get a third class medical and then went to basic med getting ready to take my FAA written test one day at a time you're never too old
Great video man, i want to get back to school to finish my private pilot license , i have about 20 hours in a Diamond eclipse DA40, it would be a dream to own one some day.
Thank you Randy and keep that dream alive. I had the dream for around 16 years before it finally became reality. I think dreams have a way of routing life to the destination. Thanks for watching and for the comment randy and I wish you success in all of your dreams and goals! God bless you!
