I did my multi engine rating in this plane a few weeks ago. Lovely machine!
My all-time favorite aircraft! Always sounds amazing! My dad owned an early model 210 way back in the late 60's.
Also jaco my Cessna has 100HP and not the 85🤙
Ah ok, sorry about that😅
Nice ride. Loud little.
Hello, and thanks for commenting. She's very stunning, and yes, she makes quite a lot of noise😅
The only thing missing are augmentor tubes, then it would be 150% perfect! There's a retired airline pilot in Texas who bought one a few years ago but I don't think it's flying yet.
Hello and thanks for commenting. I agree 100% with you. This one was restored already back in 2011, but I think she's only started flying now, so maybe the owner will consider them😁
@@Wise_Wings I think the Bosboks did not include them out of the factory so likely the owner will keep it that way. But anyways, it's a very cool airplane and love seeing that someone is keeping them going!
@aircraftadventures-vids I was very fortunate enough to get a ride in this bird. She flies extremely well. The controls are pretty stiff, but she's an awesome airplane!😁 There are quite a lot of them in South Africa actually😁
Beautiful machine and take off but not sure about the weather. It looks dreadful for VFR
Hello, and thanks for commenting. I'm sorry for the late response. Yeah, the clouds were starting to build, but I'm just the plane spotter😅
That Chipmunk looks really good with those invasion stripes! Cheers from Australia.
Hello, and thanks for commenting. Sorry for the late response. She's a beauty, and thanks so much for watching!🙏🏻
Very nice camera work, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!🙏🏻
@@Wise_Wings Sure, keep going
@@fighterbomberMiG27 Will definitely do so😁
@@Wise_Wings Sounds great
Looks just like the ones I saw The Red Devils perform with in the early 70s
Hello and thanks for commenting. They are quite rare to see in South Africa, but I can imagine they were and still are quite popular in other countries😁
The reason you mostly see J cubs in non controlled airports is because of noise abatements regulations not to mention its easy to overspeed the cub on departure and in the pattern , just kidding the j cub is the only airplane that will just barely kill ya .
Cool !
👍👍👏👏❤❤
Must have been a hot day.
Hello and thanks for watching. Yeah it was very hot on the day where we filmed the aircraft which is why the takeoff roll was so long. Enjoy the rest of your day!😁
Why not back taxi on the runway?
Hello and thanks for watching. Sometimes they will but it's really not required, the grass looks much more unstable on the video than in reality. Enjoy the rest of your day😁
@Wise_Wings 👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Die 1940 styl koekblik vlieg in Springs. Oosrand Baby.
She's quite the "koekblik"😂
👍👍
Nice Cherokee. Is that a 140 or a 180? Seemed like a really long takeoff roll...then I saw the elevation of the field.
Hello and thanks for watching, we are glad you enjoyed the video. She's a 140. It was also quite hot on the day of filming the aircraft's departure, so I think that might have also played a role in the long takeoff run. Enjoy the rest of your day!😁
👍👍
Why did it drop like that after rotation 😬
Hello, and thanks for watching. When the aircraft's gear goes up it loses some altitude and it was also quite hot on the day that we filmed her so that could also play a role, hope that helps and enjoy the rest of you're day!😁
Had a chance to buy one of these great looking birds years ago, but I figured that I'd like to live to a ripe old age
Hello, and thanks for watching. Sorry for the late response. Thanks for sharing. They are very nice birds😁
@@Wise_Wings They look fantastic, but several of the old guys that my local field warned me about the flat spin risk
@@jimeditorial Do they have a flat-spin risk?
@@Wise_Wings They were nicknamed the "Traumahawk"...It was said that flat spins were irrecoverable. Don't know how true it was
@@jimeditorial Oh ok. I never even knew that haha. Hope it's not true though, they are beautiful aircraft😁
Beauty!
She really is!🤩
It looks great
Good video! Two french classics! 🤗
Thanks for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!😁
Was that horrible takeoff on purpose? Pretty airplane.
Hello, and thanks for watching. It was very hot and quite windy on the day that we filmed her departure, so I think that might have played a role in the takeoff
Is that Stevie’s plane?
Hello, sorry for the late response. No but he just acquired a new Boeng Stearman😁
You can find the video of her first flight at Springs here on our channel as well
It’s my aircraft that I fly✈️
Bonita nave
Do you perhaps know how much it cost to build/buy this plane, since the company is based in America, howmuch did it cost to get it to South Africa?
Hello and thanks for commenting. I'm sorry for the late response. I've absolutely got no idea. I can find out from the owner for you
Yes it would be interesting and I'd appreciate it
Une bonne prise 👋
Cool spotting
Hello, and thanks for commenting. Thank you. We spotted this beautiful Archer just the other day and got some good spotting in, thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more uploads on their way!😉 Enjoy the rest of your day!😁
Merci pour vos partages que je suis avec plaisir, bonne soirée 🙂@@Wise_Wings
😮😅😅😮❤❤🎉🎉
😅😅😢😢😅😅😢😢😅😅😢🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤😂❤
Bon spotting
🙂
Jolie prise 🙂👍
Merci 😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful😢. So beautiful 😔🙏
Thanks so much for watching. She's really one of those classic airplanes!😁
Those are awesome planes..
Yeah they are very unique, just look at that wingspan!😁
That seemeed like an awfully long take-off roll
Hello and thanks for commenting. I'm sorry for the late response. It was quite a long takeoff run, and I've got no idea why. I was just as confused😅 Enjoy the rest of your day!😁
Nice. Is she based at Springs?
Hello, and thanks for commenting. Sorry for the late response. Yes, she is based at Springs. Enjoy the rest of your day!😁
Looks safe😅
😅, believe me it is actually perfectly save
Another very special plane!
She really is one of those beautiful classics, thanks for commenting and for watching this video!🙏
Can't agree more 😀I might be slightly biased though...😉
long takeoff run..is density altitude an issue ?
Hello, and thanks for commenting. I'm sorry for the late response. I've absolutely got no idea why this takeoff run was so long. I was actually just as surprised and confused as well. It is a student behind the controls, but you would still think they would get airborne quicker😅 Enjoy the rest of your day!😁
What about this extra long nose ?
Hi and thanks for commenting, they use it for baggage I believe, hope that helps😁
@@Wise_Wings Thanks WWA 👍👍👍👍
Wish we could still visit Springs Airfield. Seems as if you can't get in anymore?😢
Unfortunately, the field is private, but it is very active though non the less
@Wise_Wings is there still a bar there you can sit at?
@@loganroodt818 I believe the club house does have one
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
is that an african design?
Hi and thanks for commenting. This is actually an Italian design. Hope you liked the video😁
beautiful aircraft! happy landings
Thanks a lot!
Is this equipped with the G1000?
No it is equipped with the Garmin G5 . It is also powered by a Continental CD-135, Turbo charged diesel engine, unlike other Cessnas
