"Don't stop flying until you get to the hangar" is great advice!

This Cessna is the 57 Chevy of airplanes. Beautiful.

“ A go around is just continuing to fly, and we all love to fly.” Good saying.

Your video brought back lots of fond memories. My Dad had a 1955 C170. He flew it off a 1500' sod airstrip where we lived. We took many family trips and had a few "adventures" (mostly weather) on some of them. Those big flaps worked really well getting into and off our strip. He later upgraded to a Skylane for better performance. I did lots of flying from the right seat in the 170. That was my last tail-dragger. I went on to a corporate flying career of 31 years in various jets. I'm retired now and only fly in my dreams.

It’s now almost 30 years ago, that I flew in a rag wing 170 all the way from Chile up to Canada in a two and a half week journey. On my first day I run into a sand storm in the Atacama desert and had to land on a road, because I lacked visibility to fly into the Antofagasta airport. I flew the whole trip without GPS, solely by compass headings and stopping leg times, dealt with heavy coastal fog, tropical lightning storms and severe turbulence. The 170 managed everything just fine even digested lead free car gas in Ecuador without any issue. A wonderful airplane!😁👍

Loved this video and this 170. I just saw my Grandfather this thanksgiving, 2018. He is 101 years old now. He inspired me to fly by taking me up in his 170 when I was around 3 years old. The 170 was the last airplane he owned, he owned a few. When I got my PPL I was so glad that I was able to take him up flying. I gave him the controls and he did great. This was in 2002. We were in a 180 HP C172 with tuned exhaust and a constant speed prop. Fun plane. Thanks for the video!

“Hi my name is Jeff can I fly with you somewhere” 🤣 Awesome video!

Jeff, that is a stunning 170A. Like you, I grew up washing and fueling planes for flight time at a grass strip. My dad had a 1950 A model (N9772A), and we flew the wheels off that bird. This video brings back so many good memories - the sound of that engine, the bounce of the yoke and those knobs on the instrument panel. You felt like a master when you wheel-landed her, and a rookie when you bounced her. Email me if you ever make it down to Aranasas County Airport in Rockport and I'll buy ya lunch. First rate! Thank You!

That is a beautiful plane. I also noticed how quiet and smooth it idled and cruised. Super clean inside also. Anyone should be proud to own that plane.

Awesome video! What a beautiful airplane. Really enjoying your new channel here. Keep the cool videos coming!

Bobby, thanx for starting this vlog! love sailing doodles but aviation has always been my dream. I'm 50 yo now with two young children and practice medicine in a rural small town and these videos and your vlog have helped rekindle the flame. I joined the Navy when I was 17 to fly as a helicopter crew chief and rescue swimmer and logged over 1000 hours and traveled around the world but had to put my flight dream aside to keep pace with "life". I've realized in watching vlogs like yours and steveo1 that there is no time like the now. These stories you share are inspiring! Thanx!

That is a beautiful looking airplane!! The lines are just perfect..

Good Work as always! "Jeff your family station wagon is cool!" What a way to make family memories!

wow Jeff is a great guy; he gave a real honest overview; very impressed; another great video; your camera work was great and the clarity was exceptional; awesome Bobby; thumbs up

Great aircraft! I actually grew up across the street from Aero Country. I was there before they paved the runway years ago. Spent many hours running around those T hangers as a kid.

Nice job. Reminded me of my time in the late 60’s. Both you guys talk flying as it should be!!!

Absolutely beautiful 170! Great video!

That was great! I'd not really considered the tail wheel before. Man, that plane looks brand new. He has a great attitude, as well.

Great vlog. And what an awesome pilot. Love his story, plane, and flying. Great episode.

Fantastic video! Great outside footage! Beautiful aircraft!

Superb content. Nice job !

Love this airplane! I miss this engine's sound, I used to tow banners with 170's back home!

Took me a few minutes to realize this is from the same guy who does Sailing Doodles. The C170 is the big brother of the 1946 C140 I owned many years ago.

What a beautiful vintage airplane ! Love the old rounded tail stabs. Thanks for sharing !

Good stuff Bobby.. Glad to see you back in the air doing what you love.

Bobby thank you very much for this vlog ! Those of us who love small aircraft and I truely love tail dragers thank you for these stories !!!

Jeff talks us through the flight very well I enjoyed this episode.

Excellent footage. Thanks for posting! Have a blessed day.

Beautiful Cessna 170 ! I really enjoy these videos ! Thanks !

Been binging your channel and I would love to see another video with this guy! I got my first taste of tailwheel flying recently and this guy knows what's up!

I just had my first tailwheel flight recently. Thinking about getting my endorsement soon. Great video Bobby-- loved learning more about tailwheel flying.

Your my dad, i grew up in a tripacer, navion, mooney, cessna 310 in that order. Thanks for allowing me to relive.

Beautiful plane! thanks for sharing. great job.

Love the T Shirt comment. Great video. I can feel his passion for flying

Also thanks Jeff for Sharing your wonderful piece of history. 🛩👍☺

The only station wagon that’s not embarrassing to ride around in.... sweet plane!

Great interview. Awesome video! I’m starting out at age 39 and loving every second! I too have started documenting every second I get to fly on my channel! Love the videos! Keep them coming!!

Super cool extension of your sailing vlog! Cool pilot to boot!

Love the older planes and the color is great. Thanks for the video. Shalom

What a beauty , beyond words...great vid

Gorgeous airplane. A real classic. Great video. Thanks.

Gorgeous plane; looks brand new.

Really neat seeing all the different planes and their pilots perspective.

just bought the Cessna 170B for MSFS sim ,i know that doesn't even begin to compare to owning and flying the real thing but it sparked my interest in this beautiful plane ,so i did a search and found your fantastic video ,really enjoyed every minute ,so pleased i found your channel and have now subscribed .Kind regards

Love this high quality video and vintage plane.

Jeff is obviously a seasoned pilot with great attention to detail. I flew in an Aronca tail drager several decades ago and did a ground loop during a cross wind landing at John Wayne airport in Orange Co. I was looking down at the right landing wheel and saw it collapse. Quite exciting. If you can find an Aronca (sp?) as an episode subject, that would be cool. Love Flyin' Doodles.

Beautifully restored plane. Great video. You are taking off down wind according to the sock.

Thats so great. I flew 8112A a 1955 B. Went on a picnic just like that from Dallas Texas to Lake tawakoni it had a grass strip. Some of life's unforgettable joys.

Another great video. Good to see you back in the air. Best use of your non-sailing time!

Great plane! Great video Bobby! Keep them going!

N1745D does truly look to be a stunning example of her kind. I hope she looks as good in another 50 plus years

Jeff is really a nice guy. I learned a lot. Thanks.

Thanks for a great video. Beautiful 170A. I was fortunate to own and fly 170B for nine years. Family finally outgrew it. It was dirt cheap to own and fly. I had more fun with it than any airplane that I have owned. Wish I had back!

Nice plane! You can see how much his family enjoys it also especially his kids!

Very interesting. I have never flown a tailwheeler. Thank you fir the edification!

Really enjoying this new channel...… Keep them coming

wow, this is a beautiful aircraft, its perfectly mantein

What a beautiful aircraft! I hope to be able to take my son flying in the future.

I trained in a Citabria, tail wheel. Like it better than the trikes I flew later. Great video.

Great video!

Nice to see U enjoying ur passion!!

Fun Fun Fun! Loved it! My first tail wheel flight too!

Very beautiful aircraft. I love the paint job

That 170 looked like new maybe better than new. I like these videos. Thanks Bobby.

Great video Bobby. I don't know much about planes but have a feeling I will after watching these vids.

Such a beautiful clean 170

What a truly nice segment to watch :)

We are the proud owners of a Stinson 108 and our mechanic and his son have a really nice 170. Love both of them and completely agree with your experience purchasing a vintage airplane haha! Your 170 is beautiful :-D Thanks for sharing!

Jeff! Met you at Sherman Muni a few days ago while you were fueling up. Beautiful 170! Great video!

very nicely presented - all the way around - deserves to be viewed more than once!

Beautiful aircraft!

Hey Bobby, I love to see you go up in a bi-plane. My wife got us a flight on one in Key West for my birthday. Really amazing.

Love it man, good looking bird!!

I had my single engine land rating years ago, before a house and family got in the way. I sure do miss it. Your channel is wonderful! Air craft suggestions.. Lake amphibian, Staggerwing Beech, I like the Maule suggestion, Stinson 108, Bellanca citabria or a Pitts s2s. Keep up the good work.

Nice video and nice plane. He seems like a humble guy...knows he's a low time tail wheel pilot and isn't afraid to say so. He'll get better at it quick because of that.

A great example off why we pilots do what we do and how we go about it. My most fun days are with an old Cessna 172, 182 or 206 taking friends and family up for a thrill of their lives. Currently flying COLD Moldova and we are loving it!

Very sexy plane Jeff. I hear you on the financing part. I was in the same predicament and I sorta gave up on the process altogether. Some lenders are not even checking for you if you're not borrowing at least $50k. But hey you live and you learn. Another great video Flying Doodles. I'll love to see a coverage on the Cessna 140 if you can. Thanks.

Bobby Great channel. I look forward to each vlog.

A nice classic, and so much fun as you see everything in those. Some will grump about that old of a aircraft..but they made those like tanks, and when the engine is properly cared for, they are amazingly safe. Just wish the weather would have cooperated better for you guys. And yes, have flown tail wheels before..so many years ago now, but remember that view, as they are normally all windows.

Gorgeous airplane!

Very nice!! Never flew a tail-wheel or flown in one....very interesting!! Keep up the awesome videos!!

Wow ! Nice plane.

As an Embraer 190 maintainer I can't decide what I love the most, the fact that he flies that beautiful Cessna, or the fact that he flies an E190 for a living!

Beautiful airplane!

Beautiful plane!

Good looking plane!

Enjoyed watching this. Very good.

Crossover from Sailing Doodles, I'm in boat tech school but, appreciate this new channel.

That’s one beautiful aircraft.

Great Interview. Great Guys. Great Flying. Great Chat.

New subscriber! Good work!

Also, good work on the rudder during take off. Dancing feet! lol

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I have flown 150's,152's, and 172's. At a small airshow in Ohio, where I was a student, I got a chance to fly a 170. It was a great plane, but I had a hard time adjusting to landing a tail dragger. I had to do 2 or 3 go arounds before the owner and IP finally landed it for me. I was only a teenager back then.

Gorgeous plane! :)

Love those planes, my uncle eric had a 1949 170a, sweet ride..

very cool cessna

That pilot, Jeff, was a very witty, personable guy. He might attract some interest if he did his own version of flying (with a family) on KZfaq.

Keep thinking you have a dog on your knee !! Great Video keep them coming , love the point about the 70 k truck, I opt for the Cessna

You guys flew right over my house. I'm across the street from AeroCountry at the golf course.

11:14 "And I feel very comfortable in it" *shows economy legroom*
