Great flight photos. Thank you. Chaplain Billy

Thanks for the ride, James. Beautiful scenery to go along with a beautiful morning for a flight.

Another Great Video James Love your comment to the SR22 pilot, doesn’t say much for his speed management in the circuit even in something faster than you! The FBO’s everywhere seem great at each location, such a great country to fly around and these places make it so much easier. You are really lucky.

Yes, Charles is smart kid. The Yellowstone Cauldron is, I believe, the largest active volcano in the world. As a point of trivia, my great grandfather’s company brought the logs for the Old Faithful Inn, using team horses. I’ve gotta quit yapping. Good night.

I love your travel log.

Awesome video! I am enjoying watching every single one!

Stunning!!

James, fantastic video and scenery. Thanks.

Really enjoying the ride with you, was afraid that your pretty little Ercoupe was going to get dimpled to death by hail.

fab . Juan will especially enjoy this episode.

Love your videos, but even more I would love to find one of these that needs restoration. This is right up my alley, I'm a retired Senior Mastercraftman that worked for GAC for 42 years. I miss working on planes.

Have you joined the Ercoupe Owners Club? They send out a newsletter with for sale, some projects come up in there.

Of all your video flights, this one has me coming back to watch it again and again: The Tetons and Old faithful in one short showing.

Lovely to hear, thank you for sharing, Denis.

I live just south of Dubois, Idaho. I drove big truck for 20 years before I broke my back and this looks more like Wyoming. And I’ve been over Togwotee Pass more than you can count. It’s beautiful county. We live on the east side of the Teton mountains. So Teton National park, Yellowstone, highway 26 are some of the most beautiful places on earth. I think I missed your way out of Nevada County, but I will shortly be able to say I’ve watched all of your videos.

'Cheeky red fast plane'....love it! :)

Of all the available tv channels out there, cable and satellite etc, I much prefer the content you and fellow tubers put out. I actually don't even own a tv now! Fantastic video quality, no music is a pleasure and the blend of aviation and nature is well balanced. Really enjoy the time at the end to see a little of the local area. Thanks very much from a new sub 👍

Oh and between us guys, Teton means booby. There are three Teton peaks, the largest being the Grand Teton. Our secret. Those look like Jackson and Jenny lake. They are in Teton National Park, just south of Yellowstone National Park. If you, Dianne and Charles want to see them at ground level, let me know. I’m a good, I never claimed to be great (except for my wife. I’m the only one she’s been with, so she believes I’m the best) tour guide. If you’re not proud, you are welcome to stay here as well. Jill is a better cook than any chef. She makes great homemade gravy with lumps and everstuff. This is the most beautiful place on earth. That’s why it’s known as God’s county. We rock crawl with jeeps, Toyotas and buggies too. You all would love it. I’m hoping my buggy doesn’t sell, but if it does, I’ll be looking for a Ercoupe, because of my broken back.

Absolutely gorgeous scenery. Thank you for posting. Funny seeing altimeter showed 800 when you are 10 thousand above that. 800 is my home base on ground.

Beautiful flight! Thanks for sharing.

Spectacular scenery!

God bless you and your family 😎

Low and slow definitely has its advantages if you want to get up close and experience the countryside. I am enjoying your trip cross country. I liked your comment about the pioneers crossing that terrain in wagons.

Thanks James, for the beautiful pictures and engine and flight info. Brings back memories of our flight from Florida to California in a cessna150 back in 1979.

What a beautiful country we live in and this video, once again, proved it! Your running dialogue is great James and you always say just the right thing when describing you view from above. So happy you hooked up with the family again and hopefully had a nice rest in your campground.

Thanks James ! Been watching daily....

Another VERY nice leg of the trip. Thank you. It was especially fun to see you and your family around Yellowstone, since I took my family there (by car) just a few years ago as well. It's a wonderful place that everyone who can visit should visit.

My grandfather was an illegal card dealer in West Yellowstone. He went to Ashton, Idaho for high school, where he met my mom. Small world. I messed this one up. My grandfather was the card dealer. His son, my biological father went to the high school where he met my mom. My grandfather marrying my mom was creepy.

Another nice episode! While "exploring" the area on Google maps, noticed that a Beech Starship was parked on the ramp at West Yellowstone airport when they captured the airport mapping image...

Great video series. The vantage point and the scenery is breathtaking. Your end of the wing Go Pro view is a nice touch. When you are up at those higher altitudes, does the air become rarified?

How do you keep dry in the rain? The canopy doesn’t seem to close completely.

@JamesGood

4 жыл бұрын

I can close it tight if i want, but it’s nice to keep open for ventilation. No rain comes in through the gap, there appears to be a low pressure area over the center of the canopy in flight, keeping any rain out.

Did you train in this plane?

@JamesGood

4 жыл бұрын

I did, I earned my certificate in it.

Just a typical question from one pilot to another, how much is avgas there now? In the UK it is somewhere in the $9.00/Gal US for 100LL, cheers! The service there is amazing compared to here in Europe, in flight and on the ground! I got my US Cert at a place called Chester County Airport KSNC in CT. We booked into the hotel and I went in search of an airfield to rent a plane and do the check flight etc. I met a man in a pair of scraggy old jeans and a black t-shirt, who turned out to be the pilot of the Cheyenne Air taxi, my kind of place! After a coffee and a chat I had a sectional to go and study before the check flight the next day. We flew to Hertford CT taxi'd over to the FAA office where everything was ready. Sign here and off we go back to base, noting the massive difference in mad variation!. The plane was a good C152 @ $45/hr wet. FAA charges were zero, Landing fee's at a Gatwick size airport, Zero! When we were back at base I asked for the bill. Bruce said, "you can pay when you are going home"! He said he knew which hotel I was in and he was happy! We did quite a few hours around CT and NY State, including the low level route over the Hudson when the twin towers were still there, landing at Teterboro to get new batteries for the camera! Great memories, note to self, must find an excuse to go back to the States after this batflu is over! One last point, if ever you are ever in Buenos Aires, go to Tolosa airfield in La Plata, I hired an old straight back 172 wet for appx £60/hr with a safety pilot (the procedure to validate is not impossible but about a month). They have a website with current prices and even a pic of the plane we flew, LV-GRU. www.aeroclublaplata.com.ar/ It is a huge country with an amazing variation of scenery, great food and Malbec! 🍷🍷 Cheers and safe landings.

What headset are you using?

It's a Clarity Aloft. I started using it because it gives some extra headroom, I didn't like bumping the top of the canopy. I also really like that I don't have to keep replacing batteries, since it's passive, not active, noise cancelling.
