Your video was a delightful surprise! I wasn't expecting to be so captivated by the content, but you managed to keep me engaged from start to finish. Your genuine and relatable approach makes the video so enjoyable to watch. I appreciate how you tackled the topic with a fresh perspective, shedding new light on familiar concepts. You've gained a new subscriber, and I'm excited to explore more of your content!
I’m curious. How do you plan to accomplish a trim run? We used to have a tie down assembly for the tail hook and an anchor point in the ground. Even if you have the tie down how are you going to anchor it? Maybe you could address that in you next video when you do the idle run/leak check.
Great question! We have the capability here at Ellington to do trim runs when needed. I'll show some of that today when I'm out there for the new arrival in hangar 1.
Sitting under the F4E on the trim pad, tailhook down in the shackle and those J79-17s running in full AB is an experience I will never forget..ever! I was 20 years old then, 63 now. Also sitting in the cockpit,canopy up, doing accel/deccel check at night and the left engine had a huge compressor stall and shot a lound bang and flames out the intake a couple feet away from my left shoulder.
Cool video, Can't wait to see the Phantom run, hopefully on both engines! Don't know if you've ever heard of them, but check out the British Phantom Aviation Group here in the UK. They have an FG.1, FGR.2 & F-4J (UK) all in one place at Cotswold airport (formerly RAF Kemble). Its the only place in the world with examples of all 3 British flown phantoms together, all of which are undergoing restoration currently!
Your instinct is correct, this is indeed a UH-1 Huey. An E model specifically. They do look a bit smaller as every version prior to the H model had the short fuselage.
When everything is ready to go for it's first flight....you're gonna need a small army of people to run around with paint, aircraft cleaner and rags to make her 'sparkle'...
I’m the only one who drives it lately if it needs to move. Because of the brakes we don’t use it for anything, until it gets fixed. What I’ll do is plan where it should stop, put it in neutral, and use the parking brake handle as a hand brake and stop it that way.
I asked when you ran the engine, who did the run? Being I never got an answer I'll ask again. Who's going to run the engines and how qualified is he? When you crank up #2 run the RPM's up to 14% before you advance the throttle and hit the start button. The engine should ramp up faster.
Cant wait to hear the f4 up and running, hopefully flying eventually
also good to hear that its at least an aircraft in hanger 1
Got to see it earlier today, and it certainly is an aircraft. Should have that video out on Monday or Tuesday

Hi Colton. Be there and done that. Had an engine run license on E models.

I am new here. Is there plans to fly this F-4? Thank you for saving this piece of aviation history.
is that a former procedure trainer or flightsim at the back of the hangar with the Helicopter ?
Whoa I’m first? 😅
Any news on the ejector seats? Hate to see you guys go up sitting on folding chairs and pillows 😮
What is that helicopter at 3:00? I initially thought it was a Huey but it looks too small.

We'll make polish her up and make her pretty before that happens for sure!
was that an ME 262 you were driving by with that tug?
Sure was! Flightworthy too!
What city you at
Houston, Texas. More specifically at Ellington Field.
"The tug with no brakes"
So, ...how do you stop?
Chevy chase style in Fletch,
"By running into S*it"

@@DieselThunderAviation I meant this as a joke, Fletch was a funny movie. Check it out, I think you'll like it.
Yes, I'm an old fart
Ah, ok. Sorry, I didn't catch the reference there. :)
