Good Morning from New Zealand, Great Luscombe Video thanks for sharing have a wonderful week

Apart from being there, this is the next best thing. Passion for aviation, kindness & friendliness all in one! Superb. What a community xx

During my private pilot training back in 1973 my first dual XC was to the Columbia airport. We did a soft field take off from that runway.

Wish I could be there! From Sonora, but based in IAH. Sitting around the crashpad watching a gathering at O22 is making me homesick!! Columbia always has some great gatherings and events!

It's especially heartwarming to see Blancolirio's enthusiasm for life. I can't imagine what it was like to be derailed for a year and a half with the medical issues he had.

Unfortunately, know that frustration first hand ! 23 years of no longer able to fly thanks to a careless ( sleeping ) truck driver who broke my neck, leaving me paralyzed from my shoulders down ! No more flying days for me, as I sit here on an incredibly beautiful bright clear sunny day, watching all the GA planes flying overhead ! But thanks to folks like Juan, I am still able to enjoy our passion driven hobby ! When you are still full of life, you find other ways to get our flyin' fix ! 😎

I was about 10 years old.

Cool looking airplanes nice to see the beech show up I just love the old beech 18s. Thanks again Juan, God bless.

I just can't get over the sheer beauty of the cockpit designs of the model 4 and the phantom - incredible. Just beautiful.

I lived in Central California in the mid 1980s. The Columbia Luscombe gathering was a yearly destination for me in my Cessna 120.

Juan Your knowledge about all these small aircraft is amazing thanks for sharing this! 195 is one of my favorites!

What a beautiful shine on Doug's Luscombe. Wow!

Mr. Juan Browne, this was one of the best videos I've seen, IMHO. Loved you trekking the flight line. I also love those nice little grass strips - fun. Thanks, Juan.

That Phantom is just stunning 😍 so elegant

Can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing so many old, and rare aircraft still flying Brownie ! What would we do without these special folks that have the passionate addiction to keep these old birds flying ! Have been trying to find your second half of your fly-in Juan, but, so far, haven't had any luck ! Would really love to be able to see, and more importantly, HEAR that radial growl ! Keep these live feed videos comin' Juan !

I could’ve watched this all evening. Kept a huge smile on my face. Thanks, Juan. 🙂

Only in 'Murica will you see a pristine, polished-alclad sample of nostalgic aircraft like the Luscombe (seen in the intro background). The TLC involved in attaining this level of gloss is exceptional. On the flip side, while these inter/post-war private aircraft are objects of affection for anyone that cut their aviation teeth on them, to the generations that followed, they are difficult, even death traps! The problem: Under-powered and difficult-to-handle (pesky and hard-to-handle taildraggers!). For us old-timers, this is the charm - knowing how to handle a taildragger in not-so-plain conditions, not to mention knowing to live with an under-powered aircraft without getting into trouble. The charm of an old aircraft: Things are slow and mellow, there is no big rush to go from A to B! Enjoying the the trip is more important than just "getting there". PS. 1 hour of video is too long in the evening! I expect to take my time to watch this at a leisurely pace sometime later.

My aunt Marian Gosnell introduced us to her Luscombe 803b when we were young--she wrote a book about her trip with it across the country

Great to see all this! I'm in Port Townsend WA, but I grew up there in Columbia, where my family ran Tuolumne Air Service and Yosemite Airlines! I've got fond memories of Luscombe flyins. Ken Cassens at old Rhinebeck aerodromes had a phantom project at one time don't know status other wise.the apache was a Stinson design, originally!

We had an OV-10 from the Luftwaffe on the UK airshow circuit a few years back, I live near Duxford and saw it on it's practice days. What an absolutely fun aircraft to watch

I always enjoy seeing Scott on your videos! Very knowledgeable and fun guy!

...Enhanced my Afternoon here in Ct, Juan,...Hanging out on My Back deck enjoying a Great spring day !!!👍😎✈️

JB .... nice to see the younger pilots !

Was up there last weekend in our Piper Cherokee. Great airport for just hanging out and surrounding yourself in aviation. Thanks for sharing! Fly safe friends! -N8822N

Brings back wonderful memories, of the many times I attended the CLA meetings, with my dad, Stan Finberg. Thanks for sharing.

Bowling Green, KY home of the Corvette

Saw my first Luscome in Holland Michigan at the now defunct Park Townsjip airport. It looked like brand new.

Excellent video. Wish we could have seen the other Phantom and don't be shying away from the Pacers.

What a great little airport. I went there on the 4th of July once. Parade and all. Great time. Thanks for the vid!

Nice video mate 🥃🌴🏄🏻‍♂️🇺🇸

Love the way the first Luscombe shines, great video as usual!!

🙏 How Cool Was That? Pretty Cool 😎 When I was in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I Took 2 rides on B-Planes. 1927 & 1929 Mail Plane. Awesome..We Did some Lazy 8’s & Stalls.. Nor For the Paint of Heart ❤️ Thanks Juan 💚

So cool that you walked us through the cockpits; design language in the 1930's and 1940's was just remarkable.

Great coverage for us that cannot make these meetings,thank you so much sir.

Great Reporting!

The ground plane was pretty but yours is prettier I guess I'm kind of partial I like yellow and black anyway good video Rodney little planes for sure take care God bless oh tell Peewee said hello🙏🛩

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy seeing and hearing about the planes. Helps to have some explanation. I'm only on a cellphone. The system disallowed me to comment during livestream to say hello - ? Very nice airshow - thanks again.

I think very few Swifts have retractable tail wheels. It is a retrofit, I believe.

Rolling resistance is greater than sliding resistance. Very important phenomenon, why we have anti-lock brakes, proportioning valves, and smaller rear brakes.

Me produjo muchos recuerdos la foto del Luscombe, tuve dos, un 65hp y otro 85hp, extraordinarios los dos, por mi edad ahora no puedo seguir en vuelo pero si pudiera no le quepa duda que serìa en un Luscombe

The next engine after the 0-200 in the F-19 Taylorcraft, was the Lyc. 0-235 in the F-21, I had a 1979 F-19 back in the 80's N2003L, that being said, theres no better looking machine than a polished Luscombe with the original metal wheel pants

Wow. Cool. I used to fly a ragwing 8A N71814 at Amelia Reed Aviation in San Jose back in the 1980s.

Wow how I wish for some of your weather and enjoyment in the UK 🤣

Could some one tell me why radial engine cylinders are allways odd numbers? I asked this at the Roĺls Royce museum in Filton in Bristol but no one knew. Presumbly its similar to the wear on a 4 cylinder car starter ring where it wears out in 3 places that's when you have an old car and have to bump the car to get the starter gear to engage the ring? Or it jams there. I'm in electronics and mechanical things are intresting. It's a bit late but the pubs are open and touch wood it seems that we are coming out of lock down, it's the beginning of August 2021. Thanks for the great enthusasam, commentary and video.

Amazing to see how you guys keep those planes in flying condition!

We have an 8F. Wanted to go but couldn’t make it up there. The plane has been there before we owned it.

Very nice to see all these amazing aircraft and such friendly people.

UK pubs open indoors from Monday 17th May. Hopefully with sensible behaviour. We are a long way from being out of the woods and the newly arrived Indian variant is causing concern so rules can change as a last resort. If you're into Heathrow, London and it's pubs are still hot spots.

Audio loud and clear. Video quality adequate. Content V.G.

My word! That Beech 18!! Be still my beating heart 💓

How do we find out about such events? We live in Sonora and often visit Columbia Airport but we missed this one. We are huge fans of yours BTW. Really wanted to shake your hand. Matt K

Stock power plant for the Swift was a C-85 and it was first flown with a 65 the 0300 is the most popular up grade , and I'm told the reason Piper bought Stinson was for the Twin Stinson ( Apache ) ..... lets see if I'm correct , love the Vid's your killin it

Everything looks good!

Split flaps actually produce more lift than conventional hinged flaps up to 50 degrees after which they become essentially underside spoilers and dump some lift but mostly create massive drag, on some types like the spitfire the split flaps were mostly designed to induce drag for landing but on types like the DC3 the split flaps ceranly produce lift by increasing camber dramatically - however quite inefficiently thus modern types evolved to utilise extending and fowler and slotted flaps

Nice day Juan!!

There are 7 Phantom 1s with current registration in the US.

Now, you own a Luscombe, but you brought the Husky!! Not sure I understand that...

Hello from Bettles Field, AK

Just thought about it,,, isn't the Frog jumping contest this weekend??? Angel's Camp!!! Mark Twain

My father flew Lockheed 12 and one somewhat larger in WW2 in Alaska & Victoria Texas. Some submarine patrol -

Sky Kings plane was a Cessna T-50 Bobcat he called 'Songbird' (dual Jacobs L-4MB (R755) radials 225HP )

Watching from Limington , Maine 63B

Too cool. What fun.

The S2 primary mission when active in the Navy was Anti Sub Warfare. I flew the training version, TS2, in 1969 to earn my Navy wings.

Those Magnificent Men in thier Flying Machines ...!!!

Brownie, you brought the Husky to a Luscombe event?? 😂

Hello from va Juan

The Twin-is the aircraft trimmed to deal with both props turning the same direction?

I had no idea those planes could go that fast

Did my first cross country there in 2000. KFAT O22 in a PA38

Loud and clear in the UK

Luscombes are among the most efficient planes you will commonly see.

Yes,thanks.

Looks good sounds good

We see and hear you!

Juan, The Piper Apache was originally designed by Stinson.

Looking good in mn

Juan...UK having frequent reviews on Pubs opening due to Indian double variant spreading. Half of population been vaccinated. 17 May, 21 June review dates. Some may require proof of vaccination...it’s a bit fluid...and may be different in Wales. www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-52530518

see you later

Yes

Wish I could’ve heard what the young lady in the pink sweatshirt was saying about airplanes. Sounded like she had a real interesting job. Maybe you could do an interview with her with better audio quality sometime.

You're 5X5 in northeastern Louisiana!

I miss my Luscombe so bad

I’m in

Mike Patey should design an improved landing gear for the Phantom.

40 years ago we did not send students into Columbia.

Yep I hear ya

What, no flour bombing contest?

Beautiful aircraft and looks like the people are fun, too. Like a gathering of crack addicts at a spoon factory! 😂
