That was fun to watch! I like how we implemented the old USAF standard of "Indecision - The Key to Flexibility" and got things sorted out for the formation going into the duster strip. Juan

Two of my favorite people from Grass Valley :) The KZfaq crossover we didn't ask for but always wanted

An Ercoupe and a Luscombe. Beautiful!

When you're flying with Juan Brown as your wing man, you're flying with the best!

Now that looked like a short but fun flight “over the hills”! It must be so nice to have friends who have the same enthusiasms!

JG: "I'm still not comfortable with this at the moment" JB: "You stay up high & watch me land, alright". Great airmanship there! No rush, just take your time & get your bearings. :) Lovely video, gorgeous Ercoupe ;)

Great seeing the formation flight - first time I've seen an airborne view of Juan' in the Luscombe. Great landing strip - and great flights. Nice little excursion :)

How COOL, flying with Juan Browne. Love it!

Seeing the euro coupe and the mighty luscombe flying together was really cool to see.

Juan, you have the same colors I have on my Cessna 140... Nice and nice video thanks !

Oh you guys! What fun. All hangars must contain at least the aircraft of course but also the rc planes, the motor cycle, the RV and the boat. My two favorite aircraft, so great to see them both fly on a trip in CA.

James, I really enjoyed your video. Reminds me of back in Amelia County, Virginia in the late '50s riding my bicycle 3 miles to Hill Top Airport, a grass, 1800-foot strip owned by a dairyman, Garland Moyer. He had a 1941 Piper J-3C Cub, a 1947 PA-12 Super Cruiser and an Aeronca 15AC Sedan. During the years others tied down their airplanes at Hill Top including a Luscombe, a Cessna 170 and others. Your super sharp 4K video on my iMac 27 was marvelous. My 3 partners and I are about to fly our Sportsman 2+2 for the first time in August. I'll let them and all of EAA Chapter 231 know about your KZfaq channel.

The photography is outstanding.....its like iam in that Ercoupe.

Thanks for letting me fly vicariously. Beautiful scenery ya got there!

Another great vid Sunday morning quick hop and back for breakfast with the family.

Two of my favorite vintage aircraft.

Am a proud Ercoupe 415-C owner myself, only difference is my tail numbers are Cobalt blue. I'm out of Grannis Field in Fayetteville NC where my late father was a CFI, stay safe out there 👍 ✈

That was a fun little adventure. There’s a million of those little strips out there and they are not easy to see.

The Ercoupe is such a sweet little airplane!! I've worked on them, as a mechanic, but sadly never owned one. Thanks for the video!

Another great video James!

Nice Video and flying as usual! Thanks for sharing! Fly safe!

Excellent video James & Juan, thankyou.

I like this one a lot. Thanks for the vid,and blue skies.

Thanks for taking us along on this relaxing flight out into the sticks at the farm strip.

I literally just bought both of these planes!! Super excited!! Cool video!!!!!

This was an epic video! Thank you!

This was a cool little adventure! Thanks for bringing me along with you guys and I'll see you in the next one.

Thank you for the great videos you guys.

Thanks for taking us along James. Great camera coverage.

Love Ercoupes. I've never seen a polished metal finish one before though. It looks totally superb. Back in the 1960s, my local flying club here in England, (Herts and Essex Aero Club at Stapleford Tawney Aerodrome, Essex) had several Ercoupes they used for training. Don't see so many over here now sadly, but a few do turn up at fly-ins in my area. Now I've found you I'll follow you on KZfaq. I've been following Juan for a few years now. You live in a lovely part of California that I've visited a few times. I need to get back there before I'm too old!

Wonderful James . Thank you for the ride 👍🦘

Great Vid guys, follow you both and enjoy your flights and adventures. Leaning more about CA all the time. What a beautiful part of the world 👍🇦🇺🇺🇸

I love all the RC planes in Juan's hangar! Nice flying!

Yeah... this was a nice one, James. Thanks !!!😎👍 🇨🇱

Back in the mid 60’s my dad used to take me the State Line Airport, now defunct, in Kansas City. We flew in a lot of older planes, including an Aeronca, a Luscombe, and a Champ. I got the flying bug then. Years later, I got my PPL, while he didn’t know I was taking lessons. Went over for dinner one day and placed the ticket in front of him. Priceless reaction since he didn’t know I had been training. He was my first passenger. Sight seeing over the childhood homes and Arrowhead and Royals stadium. That old Marine still kickin at 92 yrs old. Thanks for the memories guys.

Great video flying formation with Juan Brown. Yes and me too seeing Juan from another airplane plus his landing. Hopefully more trips ahead.

Thanks for sharing James. You are so fortunate to be able to fly with Juan; he's a wealth of knowledge. BTW I soloed in a Champ many many moons ago. Bob

Thanks for the ride!

Absolutely phenomenal!.

This was one of the most rewarding avideos I've ever watched! The com channel really spices it up!

Loved your take off out of Nevada County. Your shadow perfectly tracked the centerline.

Another good one James. Fun video of a nice little adventure with some great air to air. nice when you get 'matched' aircraft. The Jodel and the RV4 are a bit of a miss match but John does well!.

You did look like a 747 with those lights.....You stuck the landing👏

Good practice to fly into unknown strip. Water below the approach with down drafts can make it more interesting. Expand you skills and knowledge. Much better when you have someone like Juan leading you in!

That Ercoupe looks like it could have been designed today.....fantastic looking plane.....so much visibility.

Good fun, James. And here I was thinking Juan would ride with you in the cockpit as he did last time you two flew together on the channel. But formation is even better. :-) The twin at the end was definitely history on wheels.

This has been my dream for as long as I can remember. Two of my favorite things: radios and airplanes. I used to day dream about flying around with my cousin in another plane and just talking to each other and flying wherever we wanted. Thanks for letting me fly along with you guys.

Good fun, interesting little strip. Looking forward to tailwheel adventures sometime! PS Don't forget Alpine Co!!

As a newer Luscombe guy, thanks for letting us watch Juan's landing. Looked like really punchy conditions, and when it ballooned up, he quickly transitioned from a wheel landing to 3-point. Looked pretty challenging!

Fun flight,i am with you i never saw that runway either. Interesting to see Jaun's hanger and to see all of his RC planes, since i fly RC and have about 20 of them . Its so green up north....i have been down here in the desert too long.

that was different. i like it. thanks

You make a good video mister!

James, now that I found out you are a friend of Juan Browne’s I also subscribed to your channel.

Fun vid James, great to be able to join you and Juan out on a little recce 😎 Interesting to see a fellow Brit out in Northern Cali, what’s your story? All the best 😊👍🏻

Nice looking champ there. I have a 7ccm c-90-8 nice flying boys

The water on approach to the runway, just made me think of the accidents in the Magificent Men in Their Flying Machines.

Funny to hear you mention Lincoln. Took an AC-130A gunship into there in 1990 for an airshow.

Tailwind is a hell of a good little x-country cruiser. Friend has an 0-200 W10 which will cruise around 140 MPH on 5-6 GPH. Hard to beat if you don't have to get into any real short fields.

123.45! We also use this frequency, here in Switzerland. The secret frequency that every pilot know...

‘Coup got dihedral ! Like my old Quicksilver MX. Dynamic stability …. 😎. N.E.OH Bob

Great video , I think I have a crush on your Ercoupe 😍…… want one ! Just waiting for the lottery win …

Sweet Ercoupe

Another great video, James! I have a question about your transponder. How is the tray mounted to your instrument panel? I’m asking because I acquired a transponder similar to yours and would like to have it installed in my 415-C Ercoupe. My panel is original with the two glove compartments. Your type of mount might also work for me. Thanks, Steve

Hi from Australia (Perth). The wings on your 'coupe look like shiny butter knives.! I got a surprise when you taxied off the runway...using the control wheel like in a car!! Then I remembered why. That camera on your left tail fin gives amazing results. Where is that foto of John Travolta with his 'coupe?

What year and hp is the Luscombe? Gorgeous planes!

Just took my first ride in an Ercoupe. Felt like I was Spam in a can, lol.

Hey James...new to your channel, I've been following Juan for some time. Your Ercoupe is beautiful..( wouldn't want to be the one polishing it ) what year? Franklin?? Rudder pedals??? I suppose I should just go ahead and subscribe and check out your past videos! Thanks for taking us along for the ride and Blue Skies!

Have you ever flew into Harris ranch? Fun fun fun Chaplain Billy

Coupe flight check! ....twoop

Is that u i see in the mcc and l36 or a diff rv4?

What is the white low wing airplane in your hangar? Looks like a Zenith?

Hey you too are having too much fun I would love to follow you

So, I think 122.75 is the air to air frequency. 123.45 is reserved for test stations. I doubt the FCC has ever taken an enforcement action but that is the rule.

G,day from Sydney Australia. New to the channel. Any chance of having a peek under the cowl and discription/examination of engine? Also if at all possible, some filming of the windsock at Auburn Municipal airport. Even though you receive the wind direction, and gusts- ATIS the windsock is another strong indicator. Tally ho 🌏🇦🇺

The Ercoupe has no rudder pedals! 😲

Why so much dihedral in the Ercoupe's wing?

James, if Juan Browne says good landing then it must of been.

Is a C-45 the same as a Beech-18? They sure do like alike.

Figs!

Does your ercoupe have rudder pedals or is it original?

I never heard of a prune tree😀

Why would you give up on Ercoupe and move to a taildragger?

you need a 'Live Cam' at the airport..........................then you won't miss a thing...............

I love ❤️ this aircraft, so sleek and sexy .

$2000 for a tailwheel! Stuff for airplanes costs even more than for some bikes. My Brompton folding bike is like that. Parts are pricey. I just paid $20 for a "lower stop disc" whose basic components would total less than $5. I didn't want to spend all the time it'd take to hunt each one up. Why are Brompton's so expensive? They build them in London, one of the most expensive cities in the world. They're viable on the market because they fold in thirds rather than half like most folding bikes. That makes them easier to fit into cars, boats and airplanes. Bagged. they will even go overhead on most commercial jets. As with planes, you can sometimes luck out buying one. I got mine used for $150, functional but needs work. I need not rue spending a little on parts.

Could use a lot more power not to mention bigger aircraft, I've seen larger RC models. Thought Juan was flying the big skies , guess not. No preflight check before or return, on that little bird, not a great protocol

I click on Ercoupes..

How was your undercarriage when you got home?

What year and hp is the Luscombe? Gorgeous planes!
