It was one of the best parts of my trip from Australia doing the trip out to Catalina Island. Couldn’t thank Rich enough for his hospitality and the experience.
Good to hear from you Gene - hope all is well!
@@FlyingwithRich doing very well. Just bought a PA-28-180d. Was too good to refuse
As a NorCal pilot, Catalina is on my bucket list once I finish up my IFR. Thanks for the ride!
Thanks for watching!
The bonanza gear on a 28v system are fast! Blink and you’ll miss it! Love my S-35!
That is exactly the type of panel I am accustomed to. Nice plane. This trip also took care of my hunger😀
Finally a cockpit without TV screens, I love it.
Me too!
The F33 is absolutely my favorite single engine piston airplane! Great performance from a very solid instrument platform.
One of my favorites as well - thanks for watching!
Did two or three flights out there years ago before big landing fees while the runway was rough. Really unique perspective both landing and take off are spectacular..........did a left turn and around the island and it really is unforgettable the harbor and casino..........bucket list for sure............
One of the top 5 best airports I have been to!
Nice. I went out there Tuesday for lunch. It was hot! Cool to see the Plus one chicken hawk there.
I think we were there on Tuesday as well.
Beautiful airplane. I think the fact that OCR didn't do the instrumrnt conversion is a bonus to the potential buyer. Sure its nice to have the glass panel and the capability that the new avionics bring, but the nostalgics amoung us just love things left as they should be. Another awesome video. Thanks crew,
I saw you takeing off, I was spotting ❤ Hope you in joyed your breakfast 🍳☕️
Awesome plane! That one and the Mooney M20J have been my favorite two you have shared. Thanks for the great videos!
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Love the OCR tail number!
That's a beautiful plane!
A most beautiful day, plane, and island airport... Love the place but leaves you longing for that extra engine.
Thanks for the review. I'm getting into the aviation world and fun watching your videos. Seem like this is a great contender, looks roomy too (bigger than the Mooney. Been looking at a Piper 6/300 and a A36. This one may be a good smaller alternative.
Whew! Back to 4k. What a relief.
Another great video Rich. Nice and fast F-33. That really would be a great California Cruiser 😎
Thanks 👍
San Pedro native here...visited the cafe there dozens of times in the 80s...in Jan of '84 the Lear overshot the runway..i was a student at Southwest Skyways at KTOA then...after the FAA got done and the airport was open we flew over to check it out...there was a Piper Cherokee from Peninsula Aviation (KTOA) with the wings off and loaded on a flat bed trailer for quite awhile that had run off the end about a year earlier
the buffalo are descendants of some that were barged over in the 1920s for a movie shoot and were left there rather than spend the money to take them back to the mainland ...
back in the 80s if i recall the landing fee ($10 ?)was waived if you dined at the restaurant or went into town ..in any event there was a 5 dollar over night tie down fee when we stayed at my uncles condo in Avalon
Thanks for the message - I love the history!
Was going to fly there today from F70, but the weather was overcasty. I’m a VFR Pilot. But will definitely be going this fall. Thx for sharing 😃🤙🏻 edit: yea my flight club: Pacific Coast Flyers, requires a check ride to KAVX. And yea that 2.1% upslope on 22 definitely affects your flare to landing.
Have fun when you go!
Thank you for the memories. I was checked out for landing at Catalina when I was working on my private license in 1972 out of Eagle Aviation. I was instructed to make my final approach at 45 degrees to the runway as strong downdrafts were always a possibility there and it would be easier to terminate my approach. I believe the jet crash is accurate. In the 80's, one of my customers came in with a broken arm and said he crashed a rented jet at Catalina.
Interesting history - such a great place!
I own my own airplane, but I’ve never been to Catalina Island. So this is a great video showing how “it’s done”. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
The visual perspective on landing reminds me of Sedona. I know there wasn't much wind on this trip, but you can tell that Bonanza is solid as a rock.
Very solid - Catalina runway is a lot better now!
In 1987 my wife and I watched a Falcon 50 land on 22 and make the mid-field turnoff to the ramp. Only two aboard, must have been light on fuel as well. Same day, the airport was visited by two - that's two - PBY's. Great airport for burgers and plane spotting.
I’d love to see that again!
I just had a discovery flight out in riverside. Your in socal aswell I just wanna hang out and be around what you do and learrrnnnn. This is so dope!!!
Stop by anytime!
flown there many times with my step dad!, a great fun airport!, and great food!
One of my favorites!
Agreed! and when you make your next trip to Bakersfield meadows field let me know as ill come watch you land!, as i live there now. have a great Labor Day weekend!
Thanks - you too!
About 30 years ago, I replaced the engine in an A36 at the tie-downs there. Not an easy feat getting everything on and off the island and working out on that ramp.
Sounds like a tough place for an engine change - nice views though!
Viva El Sueno
Ei rich! The exaust tube was shaking pretty bad on start up. Check that out!
Rich, I always enjoy your post. I will be home for Thanksgiving, and I am interested in doing the ME1 program. I emailed you with some questions.
Rich. Can you please do a video on the camera equipment you use and specifically the exterior mounts? Thanks
Send me an e-mail and I’ll get you connected with Matteo on cameras and mounts.
True story on the jet. Demo flight from Santa Barbara, if I remember correctly and the accident occurred as you described. I have flown in and out of there a few times over the years. It always gets my attention.
It’s definitely a factor if you have not experienced it. Thanks for watching!
IIRC the buffalo were brought to the island for a movie.
i got my private at General Aviation at Fullerton Airport in 1979-80 and heard the exact same story about the jet. So it has to be true, right. lol.
Probably some truth to it - I need to check it out for sure.
👍

Which lens are you using on the Sony?
Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM
several years ago a Learjet went off the end of the runway.
Thank you for sharing. Is there a link that I can check the specs and price?

Of course now I'm jonsen for a 'buffalo burger'! LOL I remember this little 33 from the last video. The gear has that short bent in looking stance like a Baron, but blows out and comes in like a military fighter jet, fast. The 66 just takes its time. LOL That drop off looks interesting. If you did go off the end, wonder if you could gain enough nose-down/low to pull up and out of it? I would never want to test that theory though!! LOL Thanks guys, enjoyed that one. --gary
You can definitely take off and descend.
Hey Rich, another nice film, thanks. First went to Catalina in ‘92. By the way, I think they’re technically Bison, the story goes the original herd came from a movie made in Hollywood decades ago.
I like your take on single engine piston values, as a 1965 Comanche owner I hope you’re right. Based on your market confidence, if I pay your full asking price for that lovely analogue Bonanza, you’d buy it back from me in three years for the same figure right ….!? 😊
Keep up the good work.
I would take that bet!
I'm curious, what golf course do you fly over landing on 26L?
Skylinks at Long Beach
The Chicken Hawk! I know the owner!
👍✌️🇰🇪
How fast is it with the new engine?
We will do a fly- off with a Cirrus soon so we can see how fast!
@@FlyingwithRichwhat version of the Bonanza does not have the steering wheel built into the center section, meaning to separate steering wheels
Very soon I want to fly in to KAVX and take a shuttle to the backside of the island and tent camp on the beach.
Highly recommended!
Try a Bison steak. The king.
You added a brand new 550 that's prob North of 70k and couldn't put in an engine monitor to protect your investment???
Flew for years with no engine monitors and I don’t recall it being a major issue. We see just as many cylinder issues now with all the fancy monitoring. This airplane will end up with one soon!
Rich you're over the water a lot although I never see any flotation devices in the planes, are you a good swimmer?
The a amount of time I spend out of gliding distance from the beach is minimal. Losing an engine over LA county is much more risk to me than over the ocean close to land.
@@FlyingwithRich👍👍👍👍
Heck…I wouldn’t do anything to the avionics in this Bonanza. This airplane is equipped with a straightforward traditional instrument panel, excellent reliable King radios, and supplemental gauges. Honestly I feel that round-dial gauges and instruments are more intuitive to read, process, and interpret vs. digital flight instruments that your brain has to process and interpret.
Yeah I don't disagree, but I sure the new stuff as well!
You said it was fast,,,,so how fast? 👍
I would estimate it will do 185-190 KTS at 8,000 ft.
They flew over at 160 kias give or take camera angle.
If you are looking at AS indicator - that’s indicated airspeed. I’m referencing true airspeed at 185 - 190 KTS.
Sounds like you need to buy it.
We own it.
As I began flying in 1974, I appreciate the new avionics that have swept the GA market but the costs in the short term are in many cases equal to the price of the aircraft.😩 I prefer the steam gauges to flat screens but open to Garmin’s line of hybrid round gauges. Your choice to let the buyer choose is a wise one. Much like residential developers who decide to add a pool to a property supposedly to promote a quicker sale. Only to find that many buyers don't want a pool for a number of personal reasons or they did but didn't like the design the developer chose. Why keep an aircraft out of the market while converting to a system many don't want⁉️😩
Wise move. A new buyer might be thrilled with a panel they feel the most comfortable with. There are buyers wishing to buy a non-converted aircraft with the full intention of doing so right away. Double the possible customers.
In conclusion, I have to say that when you take off, you track the centre line all the way. Upon landing, you also track that centre-line like you’re on a rail‼️😁 I'm noticing this fact in comparison to all the other UA-cam's out there who don’t⁉️😩😳
Good on ya‼️😊
Thanks for the message!
Yes Rich! That is an engine , not a motor
I didn’t know Ford Motor Co and General Motors made electric engines back in the early 1900’s - surely that’s why they chose “motor” in their company name?
$50!!!! When I was doing this it was $20.
When was that? Always been $50 for me.
@@FlyingwithRich started going over there in the 70's
What are you asking for it? Depending...I might get interested.
$435K
@@FlyingwithRich Sorry, but no. NIce plane but way too high for what it has.
@HondaGoldwingGL1800 👍🏼
@@GWN_Garage Yes...but I really dont need one. I will just keep my T210 with a Robertson STOL kit on it.
