I always dreamed of being able to do this, however they don’t let people with epilepsy (even if it’s well controlled with medication) get pilots licenses.

Whoa! Nice! Love the stories, keep it up

Sweet! Hope you find time to vlog your ferrying adventures. Came for the Mooney, stayed for whatever happens next. Can’t believe how quickly time has passed. Don’t stress about making videos; keep it fun for you, and it’ll be fun for us. I’m so glad you get to fly. Be safe!

There you are! You have one of the bestand most interesting channels on YT. Glad to see you back.

I like your channel bro

How was the 4 cylinder skybolt vs the monster 6 cylinder version?

Make more videos!

My first flying job was the summer of 1974. I ferried brand new single engine Cessnas domestically. Each had not flown-they merely had .2 hours run up on the tach, so I was a test pilot! No engine problems🤞. Ferrying was a good gig. I got about 400 hours that summer. Fast forward, flew 40 years major airline, 28,000 hours and retired. After retiring at age z65, I had a Cherokee six for 4 years. Sold it and bought a 1947 v tail bonanza. Sold it recently, done with flying at age 71. Enjoy your flying!👍🏻

Seems dangerous to just jump in and fly other people's clapped out junk around. Big brass.

👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

This is a great video on spins. I taught myself too before teaching many others as an aerobatic instructor. On another note I have the same plaid shirt and it’s one of my favorites. I think it was from timberland.

Very interesting. Aviation, you never know what is going to happen next 😮

great video, I started following you when you took your mooney (loved the "rat" look btw) around the country. Id be interested to know what you needed to do legal wise in terms of being able to ferry aircraft? Welldone, and fly safe...

Very nice video. Interesting you still enjoyed it in spite of all those challenges. Maybe it is actually overcoming the challenges what motivates you. Ferrying planes about sounds like fun, and if you can even make a living from it, then even better!

You are a resourceful dude!

What FW-190 is that you're flying at the end of this video?

Congrats on the new career and keep the content coming!

Congratulations on the new business and welcome back. I miss your Mooney adventures but also glad you moved on to better things. I thought you had quit the channel, because I had not gotten any alerts from your more recent uploads. Hope see more content from you soon!

Great to see you back! Thought at one point you were going to fly banners. Looking forward to see more of your videos.

Thanks! Enjoy the content.

Congrats!

👍✅ Been missing your videos Travis👏Love to see more of your adventures.

Welcome back !!!! 🎉

Congrats on the new gig. Looks like a great fit. Thanks for putting this together. Keep them coming!

I've missed your videos, sir. Welcome back and congratulations on the new gig.

Looking forward to more!!

Glad to see you back! I’m curious how you work the insurance on new-to-you planes? I’ve done a couple ferries for Stinson’s, but I own a Stinson so the insurance piece was pretty easy. Usually open-pilot policies require a certain amount of time in type. So curious what type of policy you hold, as I like to do these kinds of things but want to stay covered. Thanks!

Awesome. He’s back!

I was wondering what you’ve been up to. Cool vid

I don’t think the community does itself any favors by considering the FAA to be the Lovecraftian eye in the sky. It likely keeps many people operating in the shadows at various levels…and that’s even worse…

Your aircraft looks great even to begin with!

😂 no clearance means no clearance. Fix your radio and communicate.

THE BIDEN HARRIS SIGN ON THE SUN VISOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR FIRST SIGN

Good story, I fly class C all the time. My ELT falsely went off during takeoff in a class C, couldn’t hear anything over ELT, I could’ve definitely gotten a number bc I deviated and headed back towards the airport. I didn’t declare emergency but told them the situation

You can do five or six hundred miles a day on cross country trips. That,s a really nice plane.

Thanks for the memories. Been 50 years since I was in there. Miss it, but way too old.

In 30 years of flying I’ve had a couple calls. It happens. It makes you fly on pins and needles for a while.

I've worked in brand new 172s back to M models, diamonds, pipers...pretty much everything. I appreciate the access to things in the belly of the mooney, working on brake cylinders is really annoying but for Mooney it's in the belly along with most everything else. Mooneys were designed for owners, really. They are not for flight schools or time builders generally. For this reason they're a lot cheaper but, unlike most other GA trainers, the more complex systems add to more maintenance overall. Having retractable gear and a constant speed is just not desirable for maintenance costs. Personally id probably rather own one over a piper but diamond or cessna would be my preference

I'm loving watching this series. However, I can feel my anxiety rise as I hear you say you have a suspected fouled plug, rough running engine, high oil temps, but you decided to take off like that in high DA and fly over a mountain range based on, "It was probably just a fouled plug and I think I burned it off." I know it's easy to sit back and judge as an armchair pilot, but that could have gone very badly.

If you ever get back to Orofino, you ought to take a crew car and run up to Dworshack Dam. It's my backyard, basically. Pretty quick drive up to the Dam 15 to 20 minute drive. Glad you enjoyed your trip.

Johnson Creek is NOT the backcountry. Cars, trucks, and 4 wheelers run there daily, and frequently park there for weeks. But your Mooney might feel at home on Indian Creek. And IC is indeed in the backcountry. No cars or trucks.

Get rid of the generator! Upgrade to a alternator. Get stuck taxiing at night and come back to a dead battery.

In the end you made good ADM but I want to add if your picking up an unknown person at a mental institution it is ok to judge them until some question are answered to your satisfaction but until then DONT get in a car with them. Your spidey sense was talking to you and you weren’t listening. You seem like a nice guy, learn to be an asshole sometimes it’s necessary.

You could have taken the car keys and brought them back to Phil.

Sounds strange until you see the Biden Harris sign on the inside roof of the car. That explains a lot.

As for the mechanic part…if you do enough work with them and you go about it within the regs you can eventually test for your A&P after a couple of years or something like that. Now that’s a future investment of aircraft ownership right there.

Angels protect children and fools.

Every airplane has its quirks to learn. People who perpetuate the maintenance myth just don’t have the experience.

I have a Mooney and this is inspiring. Wish you would post again!
