Leaving a Cardinal door open outside while filming, that is just the right level of aviation excitement right there.

Thanks for watching! Really appreciate the kind words!

Very nice Flight! This is only the second KZread video that I’ve seen that features assess the cardinal. I know that Pilot from over 50 and learning to fly had one, but I think he sold it. Anyway, great flight, brother! Fly well!

I also recently got a cardinal. 1972 FG. If you don't have it yet I'd highly recommend the Powerflow Exhaust as a great upgrade! I'll be posting Cardinal content on my channel this spring as well. I'm in Washington at KEAT so I don't get quite as many flying days as you!

Super easy and fun flight!

Great video! The Cardinal is an excellent cross country plane-great visibility, comfortable and a very stable platform.

It really is! Not fast enough for the really long stuff but the "middle distances" and in-region trips it's great!

Neat flight, you think you saved any time over flying southwest? Def had more fun i see!

We estimated that we saved 30 minutes hahaha. So not much of a saving but worth it for the adventure for sure.

great flight! welcome to Arizona!

Great vid! Subscribed. Looking for a Cardinal B myself, and I wish I could go back to flying in SoCal; CRQ, UDD, TRM were some of my student haunts. BTW: need those shoulder straps on takeoff.

Thanks, John!

You come to town and dont even say hi? :-) Great video man! Loved it. By the way I am putting together a group flight over to Catalina on Dec 2nd if you're interested in going over for lunch and meeting up. I have 3 or 4 planes from Phoenix going over and 3 from San Diego going over too. Let me know if you're interested.

I know, man! Sorry :( but thanks! Yes, let me know the details! I'll see if I can make it. Love Catalina!

I noticed you weren't wearing the shoulder harnesses. Any particular reason you'd let those dangle?

Thanks for a nice vedio. I love your ole' 177 too.

Can I do what you do with a sport pilot license

They are actually changing the rules for SPL that should expand airframe coverage to planes that can do this. Right now, or with any LSA, you can do it but it will take longer, won't be able to bring as much stuff (definitely no golf clubs) and probably need a fuel stop in there.

You’re not supposed to say cockpit anymore. It’s considered sexist.
