..and we even spent several years up there in beautiful.. SLO..as well as Avila Beach..on the coast..before they finally remodeled..all of that great little historic pier town..
Grew up in SLO town in the 1950's and 60's up on Bishop Peak, Patricia Dr. and used to fly my gas powered control line model airplanes at the airport there. Was also in the Civil Air Patrol in high school. Went into the USAF in 1964 but never went back there. Would never have thought you flying to San Luis Obispo. Thanks for the video.
@@FlyingwithRich Yay ! And a series about cost to own, logbook reading during a prebuy, AD's/MSB's ? (Basically all the things nobody tells you about airplane ownership when you're in flight school) :)
Ah Rich you’re killing me! 😂 Easy money/milk run up to SBP. My daughter goes to school there and I’ve fallen in love with that part of the state. I had to laugh when you said “they make these planes to easy to fly” Ha! That’s classic Rich. You’re a master at your craft sir. Always enjoy your videos and your insight/opinion. Once again thank you for the ride along.
Thanks Rich! The damage history is really interesting. Here in W-NY we don't see a lot of the very harsh weather other places do. (Knock on wood!) I'd love to know more, but I understand if it's too much and not in the scope of what you are doing here. Thanks!! 8) --gary If you watched the last Buffalo vs KC playoff game, I'm 70 miles E of the stadium they had to shovel out! LOL 8)
I agree with the "damage history"statements... I had a knuckle head doctor back into my left wing tip and aileron on the ground at a local airport. All the parts were replaced. Not repaired. But, if I sell it, I have to declare that, which devalues the airplane. But, it really has no effect on safety or airworthiness. So, I'll keep the airplane until I'm dead.
I bought my TBM with hail damage in the log books. Daher service center did work. I have had it 3 years. It flys no different than any other 900. The hail happened on the ramp, non movement incident.
Great example of an airplane with “damage history” but practically speaking has zero impact on the value. I think we need some standards/definitions of “damage history” in our industry. Thanks for the message!
100% on your assessment of damage history. There is a huge difference between things being done right and things being done wrong. If it’s logged and annotated well and you can physically see it was done right too then to me it’s a non issue. Could you imagine if cars had log books lol
Hi Rich, welcome to San Luis Obispo, my home airport. Please do a video about damage history and how you analyze it. I have been watching your videos since 2022 when I started flying a C421C your videos on C421 series brought me to your page. Ever since I have been getting into what you're doing and am working with my first client to buy a plane.
Hi Rich Love your videos - all sorts of good stuff. I was wondering if you have ever, or would consider doing, a video on how to purchase an airplane. Not necessarily a jet, but perhaps a single engine for a first time buyer/low hour pilot. Thanks.
Hey Rich. Another great video that I’ve liked. Sent you an e mail about the mounts you use for your cameras. Specifically the exterior ones. Would love to know what you’re using and what camera you put on the exterior. Thanks Rich
Yeah - sorry have not responded. I know we don’t use any external mounts unless we can screw the mount on the airframe - that’s why limited views as sometimes just not possible. I think the one we use is an Nflight mount. It has slots for screws so you can adjust mounting for screw holes available on the the airplane surface.
Personal opinion, I would take the Mustang. All great airplanes, but I think the Mustang is the most bang for the buck. Mustang has 3 hours range (most people don’t want to spend longer than that in airplane) if you consider average stage length - excellent payload, modern avionics, excellent support/upgrades, lots of baggage space, FL 410, 330 KTAS, good value retention, and in most cases the least expensive to acquire (apples to apples).
Pay by the hour on the engines monthly and all service, hot sections, Overhauls are pre-paid. Around $420/hour total ($210 each) on Mustangs. Programs can vary.
interesting how sellers ALWAYS downplay damage history, I wonder why that is lol. I do agree, some damage could be a non-issue, but the fact remains that the buyer now owns a plane with damage history, seller walks away from it. I know a guy who gear up'd a bonanza. I saw it happen and saw the damage. it really was minimal...obviously an IRAN but replace a few belly skins, exhaust pipe, a few other things and after a few years back in service it really "shouldn't" be an issue, but the fact remains that damage history remains with the plane.
Rich, what's the typical mission profile - did you say 300-400 nm? If I'm looking for 1000 nm (and comfortable IFR reserves) with 4 px (800-1000 lbs with baggage), what would you recommend?
Mustang probably not the right fit for 1000NM every time with that load. You would have to go to a CJ2 if you really want to do that passenger load and 1000 NM regularly. M2 will do 1000NM, but no 4pax +pilot.
@@FlyingwithRich Thank you Rich! What are your thoughts about a Conquest II, that would do that mission? (don't have any experience with it... currently a 340A driver)
@SusheePerumal Very long legs, big useful/payload and 300 KTS. Older airplane, but lots of good avionics upgrades available, times are getting up there for average times - easy 10 - 11K hours. We have two based with us and owners love them!
Too bad that i will never afford to own one of these im struggling to rent planes just to get flight time so i can go farther than just a pilot certificate, let alone buy one. Must be nice for whoever has the money to afford it
These Citations are flawless, thanks Rich for taking us for a spin, awesome video😊
Thanks for watching!
Man, you sell more Mustangs than a Montana ranch! Love the VLJ vids Rich.
I love the way you explain things rich; to the point and no bs.
Thanks for watching!

Nice little jet. Thanks for the ride along Rich!
Nice bird nice flight, Rich.
Thanks for the viewpoint on damage history.
Sounds like this one was done right. 😀
I think done right - thanks for watching!
..way to go... Rich..with always a great video..and please..keep em coming....

Used to park on Patricia to go climb Cracked Wall up on Bishop's - this was in the early 2000's though.
I'm voting for the detailled video about damage history !
Thanks again for the great GA content Rich, always lovely to watch :)
We will do a damage history video - thanks for watching!
@@FlyingwithRich Yay !

as Socal guy awesome to watch
Nice Ride Rich... Thanks ';-)

Thank you - very cool place for sure. I had not been there in a while so nice to go back. Cool little restaurant too! Thanks for watching!
Would be my first choice for a light jet, or id take an M2 if i couldnt find a decent mustang.

A damage history video with your opinions would be educational
I would love a video on damage history for aircrafts. Thank for all the amazing content.
Will do. Thank you for watching!

Makes no sense - if you do sell, you are in control of sales price so you don’t have to accept the devaluation. Thanks for watching!
Very nice ...

Would love to see a video about damage history, and how you deal with it.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll try to do another video on damage, highly subjective topic so I like your idea from the angle of how we deal with it.

Mustang, TBM 9x0, vision jet. Ny to south fl. Singke pilot 6 pax incl small kids. Which and why

Great video, footage and dialog. How do you get a camera to stay on the wing?
Enjoyed the conversation and you have a cool channel! We use mounts that are held on with screws using existing holes. Mechanics do it for us.
could you explain what an engine program entails?
Pay by the hour on the engines monthly and all service, hot sections, Overhauls are pre-paid. Around $420/hour total ($210 each) on Mustangs. Programs can vary.

Interesting how buyers ALWAYS highlight damage history!
Hope it's not rude of me to ask how many total hours flying you have, Rich?
Is the runway in Lompoc long enough for the Mustang?
When you say the engine program is fully funded does that basically mean that the major overhaul costs are banked?
Correct
Rich, what's the typical mission profile - did you say 300-400 nm? If I'm looking for 1000 nm (and comfortable IFR reserves) with 4 px (800-1000 lbs with baggage), what would you recommend?

220 Delta kilo permision to buzz the tower Full thurst take off .. get it
Do the Mustangs have auto throttles? I heard that some don’t.
None have it. Maybe something Garmin/Textron do in the future though!
Too bad that i will never afford to own one of these im struggling to rent planes just to get flight time so i can go farther than just a pilot certificate, let alone buy one. Must be nice for whoever has the money to afford it
What I want to know is how does Rich stay qualified in so many aircraft? 😅
Why was the plane not in the hanger?
I don’t know that was 12 years ago. - we weren’t involved with it then.
OK@@FlyingwithRich
