Please check the latest FAA Advisory Circular for non-towered airports. You really shouldn't be doing a straight-in approach. It's dangerous and greatly increases the risk of mid-air collisions: "Further, to mitigate the risk of a midair collision at a non-towered airport in other than instrument conditions, the FAA does not recommend that the pilot execute a straight-in approach for landing when there are other aircraft in the traffic pattern. The straight-in approach may cause a conflict with aircraft in the traffic pattern and on base to final and increase the risk of a midair collision.” And of course you can never be sure a traffic pattern is empty if you are not at the field because NORDO is legal at CTAF airports.
My parents flew a Turbo Saratoga SP and I was lucky enough to go along on some trips as a kid. Great aircraft that flew cross country any number of times and just smooth and reliable and comfortable. And fast. Dad liked it cause it was fast. Mom liked it cause she could get up above the weather. They considered going twin a lot and ultimately always decided to stick with the Saratoga based on the speed/efficiency/cost of operation.
Congratulatins on getting the Toga airworthy. It shows that good hard works really pays off in the end. A friend of mine owns a Saratoga II. His name is Walt and we named his Saratoga "Walt's Toga Party," and the name stuck. Spent many hours wrenching on this plane. Seeing you guys working on your Saratoga brought back many memories. I think you will be very pleased with the Saratoga. It a very nice cross country aircraft. I'm glad the fellow you were honoring on this episode, Nick, had rang the bell and beat his cancer diagnosis. I have lost several family members to this terrible disease. Just glad cancer centers such as the James Cancer Center in Columbus, Ohio are always discovering new treatments and possible cures for cancer.
Bro... So happy to see yall saving these aircrafts... Glad ya got it fixed and are going to use it! Bluffton is like an hour and a half from me... Been to that airport a couple times!
Sorry I wasn't able to catch the video yesterday, was on duty. But it is an awesome rebuild Sunday! Shout out to Nick, way to go man! Congratulations on ringing that bell! I hope you rang it using a sledgehammer. Jason, thank you for all that you do and the videos that you share. Have a great weekend. Catch you next Saturday.
My mother passed away at age 64 three years ago to stage 4 lung cancer. Knowing y’all are using the Saratoga and eventually the 401 to do angel missions is wonderful to see. Keep up the good, hard work.
You are so inspirational - you do not let anything stand in your way. I watched a show once about a brand new Saratoga being flown to the UK from the factory. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations Nick, ringing the bell is a real milestone in your treatment. I remember when my wife Alice rang the bell at the end of her chemo, I actually cried, it was a long journey. Alice is a survivor as you will be also. Praying for your full recovery.
My now 6 year old cousin was born with a disease called pompe disease. So rare that only 2 people in all of oregon(my home state) have it. I did a google search on it a while back and very few cases live past 21. He’s very strong and we pray for him often. One side effect that has affected him, is that his brain was starved of oxygen multiple times, so he may never age past 5 mentally😢. He has the best parents and they are doing everything they can. We need more people like them in this world. Glad to see you got that plane in working condition again. Your work amazes me. Keep it up
Long time ago, I lost a loved one to cancer, it was really tough. Congratulations to Nick for winning the Battle! Happy to see the Toga flying, and you guys coming home safely. I wish I could've come and meet you at Oshkosh, but I couldn't make it, hopefully next year! As always, keep up the Great work and have a good one everybody! 🙌🏼❤
We are sorry for your loss Stoyan. We are so lucky to have such a positive and impactful voice here on the channel. We hope to see you next year, but either way it is a pleasure to have you apart of the Crew👍🏻
I follow this channel quite a bit. It would have been an honor to have met you in person, but probably best you were not distracted. 16-hour days does not leave much room for meet and greets. I fly out of 16G and that is 32nm away from Bluffton. I have flown from 16G to 58N and KLNS 3 times now. I noticed your flight back to your home airport was very similar to my experiences. Dropping from 7000 ft to avoid a cloud layer. And then dealing with the Appalachian Mountain chain messing with the winds. 100 mph ground speed variable is no joke! Glad you made it back safe and congrats on successfully acquiring of a great aircraft!😎👨✈🛩
This was definitely the coolest plane to see rescued so far. Makes me happy to see it flying. It’s a shame how many airplanes die because they’re just so darn expensive to maintain or to fix when something bad happens like the Toga’s gear up landing. It’s nice to see a few being saved.
I loved, following this show parts 1 and 2, and got a real thrill seeing the plane flying and hearing the motor power, I wish I could fly. I worked for 33 years in production maintenance for a major Conservative News Paper in San Diego, so I have turned a wrench myself on millions of dollars in machines. It would be a real honor to meet you guys face to face and shake your hands but I don't see it in the future being that I'm now 70 but still going strong. Take care and I hope you continue to do more shows, God bless. Gustav.
Once again, thank you Jason for another awesome episode. You are a good host and an amazing leader. It was good to see Gregg working on the plane and flying you both safely home. Being on camera is difficult. Most people don't want to do it. We all have our reasons to be shy. Nevertheless, I appreciate you all. It makes me very happy to see you all engage with airplanes on a mechanical level. I wish I could fly. And watching you all makes me believe one day I may become a pilot. Until then, I will be watching and learning more about airplanes and hopefully see the 401 flying.
Prayers of thanksgiving for Nick! 🙏 Awesome teamwork with Greg, Jason! You worked so well together and as always you are being sure to do things correctly and not taking any shortcuts! The Toga is a beautiful plane and perfect for missions. Oh how I wish I were closer to your place. I'm in Clearwater, Florida. Miss flying so much! I'm 75 and can't get my medical anymore. Hoping to meet you and the crew some day! God bless.
Awesome you guys flew over my hometown then. I've flown out AGC multiple times and know a bit of that area too! Hopefully I'll get back in the skies to finally get my PPL!
My Dad had cancer and came through, he has been free of it now for a few years and at 77 now i feel priveliged to still have him around, its always good to hear of survivors, great news!
Jason, I am so pleased to see the progress you are making/have made with you rebuilds. Great to see you bring the Saratoga back to your home base. Well done to you guys. Fraser.
All of you are just the kind of people I circle myself with. What a great group of folks! I love what you do and love the channel. I've done everything from building part of the mold for the B-2 bomber wing to building giant canisters for Edwards Air Force Base for fighter jet crash simulation to cutting cars in half and welding the two good half together. Maybe I should start a channel! Hey, keep doing what your doing and I'll keep watching.
She's a sweet aeroplane. Do you think you can keep Sam out of it.? He'll be itching to fly it. Great work all round. Some nice wire locking by the way. 👍. Thats what we used to call safety wiring.
Bluffton is where I'm learning to fly, happy to see the guys there helping you out and giving you some great hospitality. Nick and his team are the best!
I have a 78 Lance with the same TIO-540-S1AD engine. The wastegate is linked to the throttle (kinda like how a Cirrus' prop control is mechanically linked) so you need to feather it up to 36" manifold at takeoff. A good tip is to throttle to the fuel flow you usually get at 35" (which responds quickler than manifold) then nudge to 36" on the roll.
Wow that's crazy to a person who's worked on automotive turbo applications. The wastegate is linked to the map sensor in our case. You want 10 lbs boost, put it in the tune and the computer will command it accordingly. But I guess airplanes are different. For one thing it seems like they are way more analog.
@@JimBronson yea modern turbo aircraft engines have introduced wastegate controllers that use a mechanical computer and oil pressure "signalling" to automatically close and open the wategate more effectively (and you can just put in full throttle like a car). The S1AD setup is a strange middle point where they experimented with different ideas.
@shawnpossible Naming your airplane after your sister is a beautiful idea. My condolences to you & your family. My she rest in peace in the palm of Gods hand
I have a bunch of hours in Saratoga. One of my fav. Fav single engine. Excellent load, with full fuel, long legs. IO-540 300 is rock solid. Been few years since Saratoga PIC time. Content brought back nice memories, plus fun watching both of you.
Nice to see it up an running! Love the content between the Phoenix project footage. You guys are an inspiration for us newbies! Today was my first solo cross country, looking forward to owning my own plane!
I noticed that your buddy was wearing a “Defiance College” t-shirt, it’s where I went to school, it’s maybe 30 miles from Bluffton. Sharp looking plane….good job guys.
I the Air Force World, we were not aloud to use electric, pneumatic tools to install any panels. The Peed handle was your best friend. Mind you, I retired over 30 years ago. Things do change, but Safety is a Constant… Terry on my wife’s I Pad..
Flew with a friend Queensland, Australia, to Papua New Guinea March 1969 in Cessna 172, visited several Brethren Mission Stations. Every where we went there were generators, water pumps even a washing machine that didn't go because the points needed cleaning and adjusting, took me no longer than 10 minutes to put a smile on many a missionary's face. God bless you guys.
Jason, I lost my mom to the big C in 1984. It's one of the reasons why I quit smoking cigarettes some thirty odd years ago after 25 years. I really want to somehow get up to where you are, if for no other reason than to cheer for you guys while you prepare the 401 for its first flight in many years. I would really love to turn a screw or two just so you could say you had a USAF vet work on the plane. How about you talk to somebody who might could come get me, hmm?
Slap your logo on that Toga. Looks like a sweet aircraft. Are you planning to add nesting boxes or will you let the birds build their own? Can't wait for next week. ☮
Another excellent video, thanks. Congrats to Nick. My wife had bladder cancer. Even after the doctors reassuring her they were pretty sure she wouldn't get cancer again. The next 5 years going for her annual scans always scared her. Diagnosed in 2010 and cancer free. I remember her Facebook picture just said Cancer Sucks.
Congrats to the owner! My dad passed from pancreatic cancer in 2016. One of his dreams was to get his PPL, but he never was able to finish. Thanks Jason for all you do!
Greg is an animal (in a very good way). The amount of time he spent on his back holding his head off the ground while removing and installing countless rivets and helping out everyone is unbelievable. You have a great crew, Jason. Great to see the Saratoga break contact with the ground - she's beautiful! Nick is in our prayers - kick cancer's ass, dude!
FYI, I am currently doing Chemo for Stage 4 Lung Cancer ... colorectal cancer RE-appeared after 3 years to my Lungs. They told me it was Terminal, but now I really am doing better! LOVE the Vids, and just love to see these birds getting back in the air! 👍
The wing attachment bolts, 7:43 minute mark, at the new stringer location, the self-locking nuts do not have the proper thread engagement. Take one of the washers out.
Loved the forward "in the air" views whilst you guys were flying home! Fantastic effort by everyone to get the 'Toga back in the air where she belongs. Loved both vids on this project.
My sister lost her battle with cancer at age 46. I'm naming my free airplane after her when I am finished with it. Jason and the gang are awesome with the Phoenix project.
You'll appreciate this spokey happening my father had tried to take several times to see a wartime communication aeroplane about a hundred miles away from where we lived,fast forward thirty plus years and was driving past an aerodrome having just burried my father. Sitting on th field was the aeroplanes that l had missed it had just been restored 😌 l know only my father would of done that for me.
Congrats Nick❤ Rebuild Rescue workers, such a great team. The "Toga" looks great and will be a great addition for the mission. You keep on buying aircraft you're going to end up in Jimmy's World. Lol. Keep em flying.
one of the things i love about your channel is the work ethic. you guys really work hard, i think it's good for young people to see that success doesn't come easy. also, i can see that you take care of the morale of your crew. that facilitates cohesion, and the good work ethic i mentioned. you guys are doin it right, and i think that's really cool. thanks for good content!
You probably know by now that Turbo Over-boost is common. POH suggests 36-38 MAP until ram and turbo pressure build up, airspeed alive then adjust for 40-42 MAP. Turbo and full throttle get you off the ground and high density altitude.
I've been wondering this myself. They keep saying they're rebuilding planes for missions, but they never say what missions they have done, are doing, plan on doing or what type of missions these planes are to be used for. So far the only humanitarian mission they've done is to fix Joe's teeth! It's like the biggest elephant in the room for these guys. Would be good to know the answer.
Bah somebody beat me to the joe's teeth mission. i think withh these aircraft starting fly the guys should tell us what they going to do with them otherwise ppl will start calling it a scam again.
Please check the latest FAA Advisory Circular for non-towered airports. You really shouldn't be doing a straight-in approach. It's dangerous and greatly increases the risk of mid-air collisions:
"Further, to mitigate the risk of a midair collision at a non-towered airport in other than instrument conditions, the FAA does not recommend that the pilot execute a straight-in approach for landing when there are other aircraft in the traffic pattern.

And of course you can never be sure a traffic pattern is empty if you are not at the field because NORDO is legal at CTAF airports.
I thought a five mile final was a bit extreme as well, and I haven't flown in 20 years. No tower, use the pattern.
My parents flew a Turbo Saratoga SP and I was lucky enough to go along on some trips as a kid. Great aircraft that flew cross country any number of times and just smooth and reliable and comfortable. And fast. Dad liked it cause it was fast. Mom liked it cause she could get up above the weather.

Well glad to see this plane is fixed and ready to go. I hope to see missions in this plane soon. Great job nice plane.

My TR182 requires is max 31" for TO and you can easily overboost...cannot put the throttle to the firewall on this aircraft.

Wow! Saratoga! I haven't watched here in a while. Don't know the plane's story. Congratulations!
Super Congratulations!
Bonus points for the Muir Woods cap! That and a trip to SF88 makes for a great day!
Congrats! Great to see it come together and make it home. 👍 Also, glad to had the chance to help with part 1 💪🏻 Stay safe!
Thank you for everything Brother !
So happy to view the Saratoga surviving a crash and a return flight home.... :)
@officialRebuildRescue How's the weather in India?
That is a good looking airplane, and it seems to run as good as it looks. Good job!
It’s very nice and ran so smooth for the first start in awhile.
What a pretty airplane! Glad you guys got it back up in the air.
Definitely a good bird. The atmosphere was fun-filled, thanks for another great episode!

Nice aerial vision .
Great flight and good to see every box ticked on your very through check over ....
Congratulations Nick! The power of prayer.
Thank you for the video.
The wing attachment bolts, 7:43 minute mark, at the new stringer location, the self-locking nuts do not have the proper thread engagement. Take one of the washers out.
I noticed it too. Should have 1 to 3 threads showing past the nut. Could also install a longer bolt.
I love the PA-32R family, still like the t tails on the lance more than the Saratoga, are the turbos worth the extra complexity?
Loved the forward "in the air" views whilst you guys were flying home! Fantastic effort by everyone to get the 'Toga back in the air where she belongs. Loved both vids on this project.

Sorry for your loss
She never left you you can feel her at your side
You'll appreciate this spokey happening my father had tried to take several times to see a wartime communication aeroplane about a hundred miles away from where we lived,fast forward thirty plus years and was driving past an aerodrome having just burried my father.

Beautiful airplane. I would love to own it.
They day the 401 lifts off the ground, I can't wait to see the reactions, it is going to be momentous
Dave sounds like a real rock star!
Growing up in that area and a brother as a pilot, Bluffton was always a great place to fly into.
yeah... been sitting waiting for you to post. keep up the great work.
We hope you enjoy Brother! Have a great weekend👍🏻
Just spending a few days with my Freind in bend Oregon. He is the proud owner of a 301 and and 340. Love you posts. Dale
301?
I'm so glad he got to "RING THE BELL". In 2019 I got to do the same thing.
Love that plane. My Dad used to own one back in the day. Wish I could afford one, but that shit ain't happening.
I’m glad she took you back home it is always so good to see one come back from the brink good job
It came back to roost
I work less than 1500 feet from where you guys were at! Keep up the great work!
I didnt know how Rivets work. But i searched and found a Video that showed me the magic behind it. Thanks for making me curious.
Awesome episode, digging The Saratoga!
Awesome flight! Toga seems like a good choice
It really is! I love it👍🏻
You probably know by now that Turbo Over-boost is common. POH suggests 36-38 MAP until ram and turbo pressure build up, airspeed alive then adjust for 40-42 MAP. Turbo and full throttle get you off the ground and high density altitude.
I didn’t think a gear up landing qualifies as a “CRASH” there little buddy. Lol. But I love y’all’s videos, in fact, I look forward to them! 😉😎
God is good
What missions do you do?
I've been wondering this myself. They keep saying they're rebuilding planes for missions, but they never say what missions they have done, are doing, plan on doing or what type of missions these planes are to be used for. So far the only humanitarian mission they've done is to fix Joe's teeth! It's like the biggest elephant in the room for these guys. Would be good to know the answer.
Bah somebody beat me to the joe's teeth mission. i think withh these aircraft starting fly the guys should tell us what they going to do with them otherwise ppl will start calling it a scam again.
AWESOME JOB GUYS!
Sure looks like you do great work on these planes...... 🤗👍👍👍.
God bless you all bro
Such a wholesome video. Congrats on the airplane, it sure is a beautiful unit. Flying in luxury!
Thank you for your support !
