What a treat! I came in from shoveling snow for 3 hours and there is Part2. Now I’m sitting in front of a warm fire, watching you fly in the bright sun. Almost as good as flying myself.
Ahhh… poor Lakeview… I was there just last year on the way down from WA to Scottsdale - and then back - and the fridge was stocked, as well as a wide assortment of snacks. Took me forever, and a local dude, to figure out how to work the fuel, however. I overthunk it, turns out… 😁 Amazing respite from the local thunderstorms.
Reminded me of flying an Ercoupe in the 80's. You have to consider your route to match the slow climb performance, and lots of time to reach your destination.
Amazing desert and mountain scenery as always, many thanks James. I was at the New Year's Fly-In at North Weald airfield here in Essex, UK today, and a 1967 Alon A2 Aircoupe (G-AVIL) flew in. Rare over here these days. Ercoupes are even rarer. I chatted to the owner and gave him the links for the Ercoupe Facebook page, your UA-cam channel and Ercoupe TV. He was looking forward to looking at everything once he got home. Cheers, Graham.
I was going to land there in 2022, in the Maule, but only made it as far as the Evergreen Museum. Heard about a 50th anniversary thing about "American Graffiti" at Petaluma and changed plans, A nice change from southern California and experienced actual Oregon weather.
Hello Dirk. I have two full-span ailerons, and no flaps. The Ercoupe does not need flaps to get down quickly; just pull the power, and it comes down just fine. They are not flaperons.

I wish I knew about these beautiful aircraft when I was younger. Love your videos James.

Enjoyed tagging along, Thanks.
Thank you for the video loved the flight
James you make it look easy
Another awesome video and I didn’t remember the military schemed Ercoupe that was there. Very cool. Loved it.
My favorite right seat !! The little Ercoupe !!!!
Just another informative video which you do so well James. Thank you for sharing it.
Beautiful flight
That was a beautiful flight
Could see several of my old Hang Gliding sites, from the 90s & 2000s near Lakeview and others on the way to Hood River. Lots of good memories.

Thanks again, James. Beautiful flight. Looking forward to your walk around.

I love your checklist! 🤗🤗🤗

Thanks Graham, I appreciate that! I would love to fly in one over the old country!
@@JamesGood There's an Alon Aircoupe (G-HARY) based at Duxford now. Next time you are over we can try and hook you up with the owner.
and to think I live in that Area.

I must do that one sometime. Looks fun. Flat and quiet out there….mostly.
Hi James! There’s an RAF A400m at Paso Robles for a while if you wanna go check it out!
That was my solo cross country student trip. But the other way around
Outstanding content! How long was this flight, did you continue to have tail winds like in part 1 ?
Hi Doc. Thank you! It was 2 hours 20 minutes. I think we had a bit of a tailwind the whole way.
What is the orange box?
It's a satellite tracker. If I go down, I can call for help. It's also constantly sending to a website that my wife can check on!
What is the airport identifier for the Hood River airport?
4S2 is the FAA identifier.
You have no ailerons ? Or giant flaps that you can use as ailerons too ? Kinda flaperons ?

"Wind missing" at Hood River. Go figure!
It blew away....
Maybe it's time you gave some thought to laminating your checklist between plastic. It's starting to look a little ragged.
It is pronounced Paul-line-a spelled Paulina peak
Thanks for the correction!
