  • The Aeronca L-3 Grasshopper. Such a cool little plane.
    Video Text:
    Continuing on with the theme of Aviation Community, today I’m flying my friend JT down to San Diego to pick up his new plane. JT has been an unbelievable help to me for the past few years on all the projects I try and tackle. I
    honestly hang out with JT more than anyone else on the field.
    Keeping the streak going.

      I’ve never seen him more excited about something. He has not stopped working on it since he got it.

    Depending on the wind, I hope he enjoys seeing the same check point on a cross country for three hour's...... they are great for local fly daytime vfr only.

      It’s definitely not a cross country machine. But it fits perfect into his mission, just a slow short cruise every once and a while

    What a cool plane! I'm surprised it's that fast. 65HP or 95hp Continental? Great seeing the old 172 as well.

    • @alexandercoats
      @alexandercoats  7 місяців тому

      It only has the 65hp in it. I was really surprised by the speed as well

    Very kewl.
    Your videography is amazing. My daughter wants me to do flying videos, not her do them but me and I have no ability. I fly a Piper Arrow, worlds best camera ship, for views of wingtips and we live in Ohio. Fly along documenting the ground, corn, wheat, bean, horses, trees, lakes, city, slums, abandoned shopping malls. That is Ohio, suddenly my wingtips are more interesting.
    Watching you and Trent Palmer I see how I lack story telling and shot composition instinct. I was a cop then a Dispatcher/meteorologist at the big QS fractional, I deal in just the facts.

    • @alexandercoats
      @alexandercoats  7 місяців тому +2

      The big thing I focused on was making videos that I wanted to make. I went down the rabbit hole of trying to make content that would get views, but I quickly got bored. Now I just film the stuff I want to film and through it I’ve learned how to tell better stories and film better angles. I’m always learning, I feel like a complete amateur compared to real cinematographers but I’m having fun learning

    Incredible. This shows up in my UA-cam feed after I saw this L-3 in a half open hangar. He's on the end on either B or C row?

    Best music ever. Might have been more appropriate if it was an L-19 Birddog in the air.
