Lil Ugly isn't so ugly any more! Today, we're taking my 1949 Cessna 140A, N9477A, home from ArtCraft (artcraftpaint.com/about-us/st... ) with new paint and interior. We'll also take a look at the new Garmin avionics and panel installed by Neal Aviation (www.nealaviation.com/ )! Fly southbound with me down the California coast on a gorgeous summer day - we'll even do a little air-to-air photoshoot along the way. Once we're back at the hangar, we'll take a closer look at the restoration.
I will be at EAA AirVenture 2023 all week with both 77A and 21C at the Garmin booth! Check out my Instagram @bayflight for more information on where you can find me at Oshkosh throughout the week.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you all for watching! I’m aware that the door seal needs some adjusting on the right side - it was properly latched and is a non issue. Just annoying if anything, haha. I appreciate everyone’s concern!

at 11:00 I could not help noticing that the upper part of the starboard door frame is not snug against the fuselage. Some daylight is visible when the frame shakes. All the best.

Yeah, I noticed it too, but she is just so happy and proud of it, I didn’t want to mention it Anyone know how long she’s been flying? She knows her stuff, and is super safe while checking, repeating two and even 3 times…Id go up with her in a second!! I worked for a commercial airline when I was young and saw some funky stuff while flying jumpseat…as well as being on the ground Haven’t been in a commercial craft for 42yrs, and I imagine (or hope) the rules are stricter today🤔 But I would never hesitate going up in any (flight worthy) single engine airplane, ever!!

@bayflight 10 ай бұрын
Yeah, it’s either the seal or the door being barely warped from 70+ years of use. Either way, door was latched and the airplane was airworthy. Might improve wind noise a minuscule amount but it doesn’t bother me too much!

Again, thank you for making the effort to keep the original / vintage look of the panel (as much as possible with the new avionics).

Please keep the great videos coming!!!!

I enjoyed watching the transformation of your Cessna 140. It is a beautiful airplane! One of the reasons that I was so interested in your video is that when I was a small boy my Dad was a member of a local flying club that owned two of these 140’s. He did his pilots training in them and one of them had the same color scheme as yours ,same stripes and tired red. This was in the early 60’s my Dad passed in 2021 and I am 69 years old now. I have a lot of great memories of flying with my Dad. Thanks for posting!

In this day and age watching your enthusiasm restoring the 140 was uplifting, we seldom see a younger person have any respect for anything vintage, and in your case seeing a young lady displaying so much pride and passion restoring, upgrading, and extending the life of that pane is uplifting. Your plane is only 1 year older than me and appreciate your passion. Safe flying.

I'm not willing to give up the speed and challenge of my 1959 310C, but if I had to, a 140A would be at or near the top of the list for a replacement. Honestly, you have a great combination - the Bonanza for efficient travelling, and the 140 for just pure fun. Your little Blue Bird (name hint) came out so nice! Enjoy her.
