I absolutely love these aerial travalogues. The amazing scenery, unpretentious yet informative commentry and that beautiful aircraft. That you so much.

James, your episodes are never too long. Really enjoy flying vicariously with you since I now know I'll never fly GA again. Thanks so much mate! All I need in addition to viewing would be a study-level Ercoupe for X Plane!

As always your videos are a wonderful example of flying experience and the enjoyment it brings. Thank you as always.

Living where I do, it is quite different to see FLAT, for miles ! That was fun.

@@JamesGood The visibility has been MVFR at best due to all,of the fires. And there are many just East of Eugene, plan carefully.

It is not to long. Amazing how open and vast the western states are. Well Done as usual.

These videos are never too long. once again a very enjoyable and interesting flight. Thank you for sharing these amazing parts of the world with us, and your flying skills too!

Good call on the No landing. That color brown indicated moist or wet sand, though I was surprised to see the vehicle dust trails. Thanks for having us along…enjoyable.

Fantastic Video!

Whenever I watch your videos, I get quite nostalgic and eager to fly again; thank you James and as always, greetings from OZ

It's always great to hear that the videos are watched in far away places (from me), thanks, Victor!

"Drive around the bushes" Great landing!

You do pick some of the best flying weather!

Had no idea oregan had that kind of scenery! Stunning

I was the same, I had no idea! Vintage aviation let's you explore!

Enjoyable episode! Beautiful scenery. Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for sharing, and fly safe!

I was hoping you would chase those cars😊

Well my friend, I don't know if I would land Carl there, but you did a great job. We have been grounded here because of all the smoke. Billy and Carl-99601

9:30 You mention Silver City. James, if you ever visit this part of Idaho by land, a trip to Silver City is a must. Considered the most authentic, best preserved ghost town in the USA, it's my all-time favorite place in Idaho.

Thanks for the great videos, I am really enjoying this series.

It wasn't too long at all, James. :) Fun trip. Those controllers near the AFB were mighty helpful. Fun landing in the desert.

James! Very well done. Your flying environment might as well be on another planet when compared to being east of the Mississippi. The only way you land on a lake here is on floats or if it’s frozen. Stay safe and keep on having fun.

Really enjoyed this one. I’m sure you made the day memorable for those drivers on the lake bed… and good call not landing there if you weren’t 100% comfortable

I’ve said it before and happy to say it again… really enjoy this series… got a bit of a sense of the joy of vintage aircraft this week. Flew a 1946 J3 Cub up and around Jacksonville. What a joy.

Too Long? Never! Another fine video James, I love the scenery out there. I was doing a low pass over a neighbors strip and there were about 25 deer on it...wouldn't you know the camera's gave up moments before...🙄

Really enjoyed the video, it certainly wasn't too long. The views were spectacular! I'm working on my private pilot certificate and this series and your whole channel has been very inspirational. I can't wait to get out and have some flying adventures!

That's great to hear, thanks for leaving a message. And good luck with the rest of your training, it was a long road for me, but well worth it!

11:50 The Owyhee River. Pronounced OH - WHY - HEE. Fun fact, the entire Owyhee region is named for early miners from Hawaii who came to this region to prospect; and were never seen again. The word "Owhyee" is a 19th century phonetic pronunciation of the modern "Hawaii".

Sorry for all the comments... it's just I get pretty excited about my backyard here. Also, a great birthday present to me! No, not today, the day you filmed: my 51st birthday 🤣🤣🤣@@JamesGood

Ha! I just had my 51st the other day! Cheers!

James,the word awesome is devalued sometimes, but definitely not in this case, what a privilege for you to be able to experience such amazing landscapes. It looked like folks were using that dry lake bed as a giant doodling surface, reminded me of the Nazca lines in S. America. Thanks again for sharing these great adventures.

Love it

I have flown that route, east from Nampa to Rome State, then further on to Lake View. Calling Rome State barren doesn't begin to describe the loneliness of Southeastern Oregon. One gets the feeling that you are desperately on your own If your ELT goes off out there, they'll find you in a month.

All was good at Lake View, nice little stop. No coffee pot, though. :(

I have seen planes land on the highway at Fields Station... then they taxi the plane up to the gas pumps. There is a wide spot along the highway near Denio... where they also park the airplanes... was surprised there last time with a sizable twin engine plane at that... er... 'wide spot'.

Another great video ! On the dry lakes, towards the edges is always better... can't wait for the next video ! Ron

3:25 Those "big old holes": known locally as the "Crater Rings" located on BLM land and available to explore

Good call for the lake bed. Do you file a "remote areas" flight plan in case of a forced landing? I used to fly around remote areas of SoCal on my own pre cell phone never filing a VFR plan and always pondered whether that was entirely wise! I was never too far from civilization, but far enough to disappear without trace I reckon.

I don't often file a flight plan these days, the technology available has changed quite a bit over the past 10 years. I have a Garmin Inreach satellite communicator, I can send text messages without cell phone coverage using that, and it also sends my location so that family and friends can see where I am. And has a SOS button for a rescue service that I pay for. The aircraft has ADS-B out, transmitting my location to nearby aircraft and ground stations. I am normally tuned to either a controller frequency (even if not talking to them) so that I could quickly call them if needed. And I carry emergency water and a survival kit. Definitely a bit riskier out there though, so a good question, thanks!

interesting that you have a E model that is 2 yrs older than my 1950 G, yet you have a higher tail number, mine was N94414
