Dodging Storms to the Lake-House

Thank you to our friends John and Laura for inviting us to their lake-house in Portage, Wisconsin! We had to wait for some bad storms to pass through the Chicago area and then we were able to depart at dusk, dodge a few remaining storm clouds and fly from Aurora, Illinois up there. This was my first attempt at wake surfing. :)

Guages in the green, everything’s looking good, gonna release the brakes, making good fuel flows , engines are in the green, air speeds alive, 60..70..80..90.. Rotate, tap the brakes, gear coming up. Never gets old! I Love your videos! Thank you for sharing.

Always a Good habit to say the checklist aloud for every phase of your flight especially when you are flying single pilot. I put all my checklists into ForeFlight and that eliminates the laminated sheets.

Guilty as charged too! :) I love flying with you guys. A nice little break from editing over 600 photos from my son's high school senior "first fifteen" rugby team, and winning the provincial grand final cup for the first time, and his last 51st game for the school! It's been quite a day, so thanks 1BC!

Thanks for coming to our airport. Saw your plane and it looked fantastic. We're in the middle of airport planning for improvements and/or a new airport. Third possibility is closure of the airport. Any support from you or fellow you tubers and pilots would be highly appreciated by us based at Portage. Send a letter to the mayor of Portage in favor of the airport helps. Thanks

It was funny hearing C29 (MOREY FIELD) during your video. That's the airfield where I learned to fly during the 1980's (two grass strips and one asphalt). C29 is the longest operating FBO in the state of Wisconsin named after Howard Morey. I actually took my final FAA flight check for my private certificate with "Field" Morey, Howard's son. I live in Florida now. Love your videos!

As a kid, our family used to attend religious meetings at a campground directly across the street from the Portage airport. During those weeks, I used to go hang out in the FBO, or just stay across the street and watch airplanes. My dad would sometimes take a Cessna 182 from a flying club in southwest Michigan to this airport and give sightseeing rides over the Dells during those weeks. Great memories! It would be fun to fly in there 50 years later, now that I have my pilot's license, but I live too far away (Pennsylvania). Thanks for sharing.

One of your best filmed landings to date. :-) Portage, C47 is one of my favorite stops when gathering with friends to fly into OSH for airventure. What a great little municipal airport.

@donc9751 3 жыл бұрын

@ Russ Wright - Since you mention enjoying meeting your friends here on the way flying to OSH, I hope you read the comment from David Tesch who posted just before your comment. He mentioned he works there and saw 1BC parked and thanked them for stopping, went on to say the city is planning on what to do with the airport, from improvements or even closing it. He mentioned a letter to their mayor about the benefits pf keeping it would be helpful. Im not a pilot but i hate to see the folks that work there and those that enjoy the use of the airport lose it. Sorry if im sticking my big nose in where it dosent belong but felt ypu might like to know if you had not read his comment already. Happy Flying!

@@donc9751 I actually had a very long and similar conversation with the manager last year just before Airventure there at Oshkosh. Good folks work there and I agree it would be a shame to lose this gem. Perhaps writing a letter to the mayor would be a good idea. Thanks for the reminder.
