Nick, thanks for screwing up your courage and taking us up with you. Great video, really enjoyed it. And thanks to Dad also. Wanted this for a while! And it is a farming video because there was a tractor at the airport!
I worked for a farmer who was an ex helicopter pilot and had a private plane, never went up with him, he was mad enough driving! Did go up in a microlight on another farm and that was just brilliant. What a great video though.
Lovely video nick it was nice to see you out with your dad in his plane it was nice to see you both going over Pitsford ressy going to Sywell airfield I see your dad out quite a bit
Fantastic video Nick! Covers both my loves... Aviation and Farming being a aircraft engineer that grew up on my grandparents farm! Your Dad is such a loveable gentleman!! Your both very lucky to have such a great bond Nick! Love your videos! Thank you!!!
awesome video yet again nick, always a pleasure watching you and your dad, makes my day, all the best to you and your family. Martin from Nottingham, was Devon but back home with family
Great video Nick, was good to see you plucked up enough courage for a flight, it reminded me of my first flight in a Cessna and as you said it gives you another view of the farm, bonus to see the old Spitfire 👍
Awesome. Your face a few times was a picture. Glad you might of found your flying wings. Your dad`s radio voice must be epic !!! Flight tower prob thinks its ww2 again
Well done Nick the only way to beat your fear is to go up again don't know if Dad would be willing to let you have a go done it a couple of times my self good fun Wil mid Wales
For a follow up, it would be really interesting if your Dad would talk about the plane and flying. What type is it, top speed, range, engine size, how old is it, how long has he had it, when did he learn to fly, and any other interesting fact or funny story. Oh, and fun question: would he swap it for a fully functional spitfire?
great video is the plane an air coupe? ,over 360 degrees of aileron control, flew to sywell for my qualifying cross country ,flaps not much good on a cross wind landing excellent
Well done nick. Last time I flew was about 15yrs before. We flew to Innsbruck airport in Austria but no one told me about the landing and take offs there! (Probably a good thing really!) on take off they headed for the mountain then pulled up and right 🤢🤢 not a happy casto that’s for sure!🤣
Nice idea, lol (I think you are joking). There are nine exams to get a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) as well as the flying and the pass mark is 75%. You have to really want to!
Brilliant, really enjoyed this, you've got the coolest dad ever. Its so ironic you don't like flying but it's your dad's hobby. One little question: I thought you'd installed an Avgas fuel tank at the farm in a previous video, so why does Dad have to fly to Sywell to refuel?
Not me boy😮⚠️😮 After landing for fuel I'd be calling a cab to drive me home. Wouldn't cheat death twice😰. That thing is about the size of a Messerschmitt three wheeler. No thanks👎
Great to see your dad still has the Aircoupe. I remember selling it to him and being the first person (i think) to land at the airstrip.
Your father is GREAT and you are very lucky. Thank you for this nice video!
You've got a cool dad there Nick.
Your dad Is so funny and brilliant😎🤠😎
Was just about to say as you approached... "Ooh, that looks like Sywell...", then lo and behold...! 🤣
Love that, Although seeing that Spitfire was something special as well.
Definitely, lucky to see it 👍
Oh wow. Now that is living! This is how a farmer should live
Excellent Flying in a classic air plane. 5/31.2021
Nick, thanks for screwing up your courage and taking us up with you. Great video, really enjoyed it. And thanks to Dad also. Wanted this for a while! And it is a farming video because there was a tractor at the airport!
Cracking vid nick nice to see a pair of flying farmers
Thanks Wilf 👍
Spotted the John Deer on, the mower 🚜👍
Had to be a tractor in the video somewhere!
All this video would need to be perfect for me is an F1 race somewhere in there. My 3 passions all at once. Aviation, Agriculture and Motorsport.
Brilliant video, your Dad is the best, hilarious with it......Thanks for sharing Nick 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪💪💪💪
Thanks for watching!
Your dad is such a joker 😂 I imagine it made him very happy that you went up for a spin. Top video Nick!
Thanks Luke, yes I think he enjoyed it!

Good video nick, was good to have a reassuring thumbs up every now and again,😃👍
I was just reassuring myself 🤣🤣
Nice flight. Nothing better than getting air born
Nick your one lucky farmer 🚜, great video thanks.
I worked for a farmer who was an ex helicopter pilot and had a private plane, never went up with him, he was mad enough driving! Did go up in a microlight on another farm and that was just brilliant. What a great video though.
Something quite lovely about the patchwork of field from the air. Great video.
Absolutely brilliant video Nick. Your dad looks so cool an relaxed up there. Couldn’t be in safer hands. 👍👍🇮🇪

Excellent nick, you didn't look to impressed to start with!!!!
I enjoyed it once we’d got going, was good to get back up after so long, might do it again... 😬😂
Great video Nick, was good to see you plucked up enough courage for a flight, it reminded me of my first flight in a Cessna and as you said it gives you another view of the farm, bonus to see the old Spitfire 👍
Yeah seeing the Spitfire was a treat indeed 👍
Fair play Nick, not easy when there is a fear element regarding flying.
Good landing 😂
No farting in the cockpit 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Great Video.......loved it !
Braver man than me. Highest I'm going is the combine cab lol. Great video again sir. Keep them coming. Regards to the family
Thanks Bob 👍
Great video Nick it would be awesome to have your dad explain what plane it is and things like that
Thanks mate, we’ll do a walk round vid sometime 👍
2 of my best on UA-cam
Nice one guys
That was a treat, and very interesting! Thanks Nick
Cheers Dan 👍
great video as always it good to see your dad plane nick
Cheers John 👍
Nice one nick 👏
You got bigger ones than me in that little aeroplane ✈😏
No Top Gun tune going in the background? 🤔 😉 😆. Lovley change of scenery looking down on your work 👍 Stay safe 🏴
Awesome. Your face a few times was a picture. Glad you might of found your flying wings. Your dad`s radio voice must be epic !!! Flight tower prob thinks its ww2 again
Great video, did not know your Dad have a plane, that is cool
Good vid enjoyed love flying keep mine at Caernarfon Airport North Wales you can check the crops and have fun 🛩🚜👍🏴
Was expecting at least one loop the loop 👍😂
😬😬😬
Did you think about dusting, if I remember right. (plane spraying)
That looks great fun, although I can see why crosswinds can be a little nerve racking!!
Yup they certainly were!!
Your a braver man then me Nick !!
The Gyro suction took it's time coming up on takeoff from the airport. Hope the pump isn't going out!
Excellent video felt like we were in the plane with you.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Well done Nick the only way to beat your fear is to go up again don't know if Dad would be willing to let you have a go done it a couple of times my self good fun Wil mid Wales
Lovely video nick
Thanks Ethan 👍
I thought the plane sounded a bit like a Hillman Minx.
Great Vid Nick
I was so jealous of you going in the plain 👍🏼
And you didn’t take your dad out for lunch in the airport 😱😱🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤣👍🏼
Thanks Thomas, no but maybe next time if there is a next time 😂😂
Great video guys!
Thanks!
Crop spraying be next on the plane 👍
Great Nick, good to see you finally going up. Question for Dad, when did he learn to fly, and was there a reason, or is it a hobby for him?
He was 21 when he got his PPL, just a hobby for him ✈️
@@NicksFarm Cheers Nick. From Sydney Australia by the way (formally UK). As they would say here in Aus your Dad is awesome!
That look great Nick. But I don't know if I could have done that!!
I was a bit nervous at first but did enjoy it! It had been a while, good to be back up 👍
Can't beat a Spitfire. Unless you have a Vulcan... Or a Concorde... Or a Lancaster.
Class vid, 🤙🤙👍👍
Cheers 👍
Pretty sure you could adapt an old Allman sprayer for your dads plane then you could mix business with pleasure 👍
Didnt realise top gun 2 was already out!!😆
🤣🤣
Where you’re parachute
First time I’ve seen your Dad serious, now think about free flying lessons from him.
Such excellent flying was your dad in the r.a.f ? Love the videos 👍
No he wasn’t, great pilot though 🙂
Great vid Nick different perspective on farm life. How many miles can the plane do on full tanks and Has mum been up in it 😁
Not sure on miles, will ask Dad 👍 nope mum hasn’t been up in it!! 🤣
Who else thought they landed in the US when they saw the Dodge behind then when they were in the plane
Lol aye lad 🤣 , great video so it was
@@philipm1009 Ah ye

Oh, and fun question: would he swap it for a fully functional spitfire?
That would be a very interesting video would love if he done that
We will do a walk round video sometime 👍
Next vid, Q & A about the plane and your dads flying background 🙂
Hi Peter, we’ll do a walk around vid on Dad’s plane sometime and he’ll answer some questions 🙂
great video is the plane an air coupe? ,over 360 degrees of aileron control, flew to sywell for my qualifying cross country ,flaps not much good on a cross wind landing excellent
Hi John yes it’s an Aircoupe, will do a walk round vid with Dad sometime 👍
Good video nick would love a go
Cheers Paul 👍
Flaps 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Well done nick. Last time I flew was about 15yrs before. We flew to Innsbruck airport in Austria but no one told me about the landing and take offs there! (Probably a good thing really!) on take off they headed for the mountain then pulled up and right 🤢🤢 not a happy casto that’s for sure!🤣
Cheers mate and oh no That doesn’t sound nice 😬😬 I actually enjoyed it once we got going! Might have to go again sometime 😆
Wouldn't catch me anywhere near that.
Well done for challenging you fears head on. I think you should learn to fly the family a/c and treat your Dad to a pax trip in that 2 seat Spitfire.
Nice idea, lol (I think you are joking). There are nine exams to get a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) as well as the flying and the pass mark is 75%. You have to really want to!
@@vinylrevolutions9718 I’ve been in aviation for 35 years. It’s quite achievable with some application.
Great video how long has dad been flying, don’t you won’t to learn to fly 🪰 can dad fly a helicopter 🚁 to ,
He got his PPL at 21, and yes part of me wants to learn, we’ll see ✈️✈️
You will have to put L plates on and get your dad to take farmer P up ✈👍
Was ur dad in the airforce or did he just learn how to fly?
He just learnt, got his license in his early 20s
How on earth a young man cannot take advantage of the opportunity to learn to fly for almost free escapes me.
Brilliant, really enjoyed this, you've got the coolest dad ever. Its so ironic you don't like flying but it's your dad's hobby. One little question: I thought you'd installed an Avgas fuel tank at the farm in a previous video, so why does Dad have to fly to Sywell to refuel?
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! As for the tank, it isn’t connected up yet 👍
rather you than me mate youre never get me up there
Not me boy😮⚠️😮
After landing for fuel I'd be calling a cab to drive me home. Wouldn't cheat death twice😰. That thing is about the size of a Messerschmitt three wheeler. No thanks👎
