Dynam Cessna 182 Sky Trainer Brushless RC Plane Review

Posted in Planes | 25 comments

In our latest adventures, we decided head down to Cable Airport with Antonio. We were in for a surprise as we were taken to the skies. Turns out Antonio is a real pilot in a real life, who would of known. Thanks to Jared Tapsfield for the opportunity as well. The Dynam Cessan SkyTrainer flew nicely with the stock battery, but the skylipo gave it the edge in power and performance. www.nitroplanes.com – Dynam Cessna For the best in batteries you must check – www.hobbypartz.com And for the latest news, giveaways, and more check out facebook.com

Cessna 172 Pacific ferry flight – Hawaii to American Samoa

Posted in Planes | 4 comments

leaving Hawaii for American Samoa, a 25 hour leg in my little Cessna 172 — a long night and lots of rain and clouds to come; more info at www.globalpilot.info

Took an evening flight in the Cessna Skycatcher 162 N5207B (finally remembered to bring along the camera). Fun little plane! We flew around Hemet, Temecula, French Valley, Diamond valley lake, etc, then back to Hemet. The glass panel is really amazing, especially at night. Music is by Ryan Farish, titled Secret Garden.

Cessna 172 OWD to BAF with F15 Divert 8-1-09

Posted in Planes | 17 comments

This is the complete video of my flight from Norwood, MA (OWD) to Westfield or Barnes (BAF) in Massachusetts. In this summary of the fight which goes from take-off at OWD to landing at BAF, you’ll hear audio from flight following and some interesting tower communications at Barnes. When trying to enter the Class Delta there you will hear me being turned away because of an emergency on the field. As you will hear, and F-15 was having potential landing problems and they were clearing the field and raising the arrest cables just in case. As I turned north to avoid the Delta, you’ll get a good look at Westover Air Force Base, which I was above at the time. You will also hear me for some reason, start to refer to it as an F16. It was in fact an F15 and apart from delaying my arrival, all went well and the plane landed safely. This is a two camera shoot with one aimed over the nose and the other looking out the passenger, right seat window.

Yeah – right!

Cessna 150 Night Landing Norfolk (KORF) Virginia Airport

This is a video of me landing at night in a Cessna 150. Sorry about the night shot, it was the only way to see everything. This flight was for my long cross country for my commercial pilot training. I flew from Salisbury, MD (KSBY) to Wilmington, NC (KILM), to Norfolk, VA (KORF) and returned to Salisbury. Notice the horrible nose-wheel shimmy haha. The plane is old.

Cessna 172 Crash

Orlando, Florida One of the most tragic videos I have. This is a Cessna 172 carrying an instructor and his students. After total engine failur, the instructor decides to land on a golf course. He overshoots the approach, catches some power lines, and impacts a pole. The instructor dies immediately; the student recovers completely.

www.aviafilms.com – Cessna videos. In this video you will see several Cessna 152 landings and takeoffs during initial PPL pilot training. There will also be a couple of touch-and-go’s and go-around’s. These were student pilots flying so please be kind with your comments and enjoy this Cessna video! www.aviafilms.com – More interesting Aircraft stuff including cockpit videos.
