Look around, everyone cool and happy, not a headset in sight, just deafening in the moment.
What? Huh?
Suit and tie required to fly!
And some jazz music!
23:50 - 25:00 Meigs Field (CGX)
Wasn’t that the island field near central Chicago abruptly closed leaving the doctor’s convention attendees with no way to get their planes off the island ? (Eventually they were given special permission to take off).
- Also that 727 landed there which eventually went to the Chicago Science Museum.
On April 13,. 2011 the aircraft pictured N5325L crashed in the state of PA.
I guess -- "This Could be the Death of You"!
@26:46 - I never played ‘traffic pattern’ when I was little…😢
Back in the good old days when Piper, Beechcraft, and Cessna couldn't produce planes fast enough and insurance rates and avgas weren't sky high.
America is too poor and corrupt to support GA. It's taken decades to get us trained to accept lower standards of living and low expectations for the future.
Such amazing air to air and mounted film cam aerial footage here. How they managed that overhead tail mount with a 16mm camera I will never understand. No vibrations either. Sad to see what became of N5325L. My Cherokee is the exact same year, model - might as well have been the one featured here, and still has the OG paint.
Joe and Fran were loaded.
Amazing to see so many of these airframes still going strong today!
Unfortunately, not Ben's airplane. Look up the registration number.
Unfortunately that one crashed in 2011. Luckily nobody was hurt.
They are kept alive out of necessity. America is too poor now and too corrupt to support GA like it once did when this movie was created.
My father was a private pilot for 61 years. Owned a 1947 Cessna 140 and Cessna 172 Skyhawk. His first plane was a Stinson...
Oh no; no kids with piercings and tattoes singing dirty rap songs..
I grew up in a Piper family. Dad had a Cherokee 235 and my grand father had a Cherokee Six 300 at around the same time this film was made. That Piper dealer is still in business in Muncie. This looks to made around 67-68 as the Hancock tower was still under construction and the Cherokee Six was for sale.
Back when America was actually wealthy, had high overall standards of living, and healthy aspirations for the future.
Today, America is a giant favela.
I once heard thar insurance rates killed the general aviation industry. Seems It's still around though right?
Kinda. China now owns most of it. Including Piper, Cessna, Beechcraft, Cirrus, etc. :(
I saw it happen first hand in the late 1970's. The war against American prosperity began with the war against General Aviation and it followed Jimmy Carter's speech where he said we were living too well. It started with a liability lawfare war and nearly wiped out GA. Nobody got up in arms because it was only happening to the well off. However, the average 4-seat airplane owner was solid middle to upper middle class. Normal living back then but, very rich by today's impoverished standards.
Bill Clinton signed a bill to limit the liability tail of legacy GA products and that helped keep it alive. But, that was too little too late. Americans are now accustomed to a much lower standard of living and much lower expectations. Both were goals of TPTB long before any of this happened.
Heck, the FAA is going after model (RC) aircraft now.
It's wild that the main student "Ben" would be over 100 years old today!
"Ben's" airplane crashed in 2011 if you look up the registration number.
No headsets! Headsets and interphone technology already existed, so why?
Too bad it's super expensive now
By design, the people were priced out of private aircraft. TPTB were offended that our standard of living was so good that we once could shop for a new 4-seat airplane as easily as buying a Cadillac or Lincoln, back then.
The PA-28 airframe was a winner. It is still in production today as far as I know.
Yep
RIP Meigs Field. :(
I love your videos , but could you move your logo/countdown clock somewhere else ? It always seems to block out opening credits .
The Buddy Holly special.
I think that was a Beechcraft Bonanza.
The plane was fine. The pilot was the problem. 🤷♂️
beechcraft😢
