Cessna 140 Watching

[nottooold13]

I owned an A with a modified O-200 for several years. The most fun airplane I ever owned. Literally flew it everyday to work.... One year I flew it 360 days and 779 flights,

[luvchoclabs]

Very impressive control skills.

[Sstantial]

That's the prettiest 140 I ever saw!!! Nice polish work and flying skills!!! Love tail-draggers!!! Who needs that "training wheel" in the front anyways??? LOL!!!

[WerkinMojo]

A1, simply A1.

Thanks for posting. EAA1019970

Hey, I like "hot doggin'" like the rest of the folks, but: One of these days when you are stopped with the tail "flying", oppppsm, a little gust of wind and over on the prop!! Lots of dollars there, would not you say? But, nice video and good "one wheel" technique. But, sorry, still a hell of a lot of hot doggin "for the folks".

Close... The 120 and 140 both have dual struts. The 140A has the single. The 140A came out in 1949 as the 120 and 140 were discontinued.

[alienhuman]

I believe the C 140 has a single wing strut and the C 120 has 2 as pictured here.

Wonderful plane. I flew two times a like this, but the 1946 and red strips.

John is a great pilot, your plane is in very good hands.

[printertom3550]

Very well done in all regards!

@americanistashido hay muchos cessna con patín trasero o convencional... fue el primer tipo de patín q hubo... de hecho hay muchos modelos como el C180, C188, C185, y otros...

[FNP3]

Fantastic !!! Absolutely fantastic !!! This pilot obviously knows his stuff. The world needs more airplanes like this. Excellent video, very well done.

[bryanbatchelor]

nice cross wind landing teckneque

[flynut007]

Very nice job of flying; and airplane as well! really like this video.

[deltafan909]

What is the song called?

[Wingwalker77]

@deltafan909 The song is "Watching Airplanes" by Gary Allan

[PrettyRicky218]

I just bought my first airplane. a 1947 Piper PA-12 and this video gives me a goal to work towards. If I ever am able to fly this well, I'll feel like an accomplished pilot. Well done!

[NIGHTEHAWK]

very nice

[gunsandroses1111]

Great! Holding the balance on throttle alone in a taidragger is awesome. And with sufficient windspeed to do a vertical landing. Well done!

[RangerRaider]

Wow, definitely have some skills! I fly a 1952 C170B and it would end badly if I attempted some of that stuff.

[MrMasterpilot]

what's this song called?

[berndl]

Great little plane - I did my license on it many years ago..

[deltaromeo5]

very nice airmanship! stick-and-rudder skills like that are a huge contribution to flight safety, and they bring audiences :)

[razielofdark]

No what?

[razielofdark]

Hi. I'm a Pilot here in Brazil and maybe I'll buy a C140.

So, what can you say about the Cessna 140?

[brauliobarreto1]

no!

[myrmecia1977]

Beautifully maintained aircraft, credit to the owner.

[aerobatic500]

I admire the takeoff at 2:10 full power, gets it rolling, sets the flaps, off the ground and then almost immediately pushes forward to accelerate on ground effect. just beautiful.

thanks for this awesome video, such a breath taking airplane.

[GuyECS]

As a 120 pilot of about 15 years I gotta tip my hat to John the pilot! Great control...great stuff. Never seen anyone fly a 120/140 like that.

[iflyrc3dstyle]

Great Video, Great Music!

[dirtbikinboy92]

awesome flying

[EAA91]

One of my earliest memories is flying with my Dad from Germantown, OH (he worked for Aeronca) to Neenah, WI in a 140 to visit relatives. It was winter and Dad piled blankets on me to keep me warm. Since then I've been in love with this plane and yours is beautiful!

[wcomley]

Please bring back Cessna 140 watching video.

It is awesome to watch!! Beautiful airplane.

[Saint62781]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing

[DianePriceNizza]

John, this is way cool. Plane looks awesome and you haven't lost your touch. Brings back many fond memories of our younger days.

[dracman101]

I live right across the street from the Cessna Pawnee plant here in Wichita. What a wonderful airplane on this vid! And even more so killer skills of the pilot. My hat is off to you sir. I learned to fly in a 120 off a grass strip in the middle of Kansas and can tell you this is not easy in a taildragger. Wonderful clip.

[wcomley]

The Cessna 120/140 was absolutely the best entry level airplane produced after the war.

Thousands were built at the pawnee plant in Wichita. The flying by this owner shows how nimble the 140 really is, and why there still very popular today.

[buderboi]

hello, what you got there is a beautiful work of art, I love the way your 140 looks! great job. (buderboi)

[skyyguyy]

Awesome!

[pilotgreg84249]

I love it! Makes me want to go to Moraine Airpark in September to see them all.

[cessna140driver]

John, you've outdone yerself! Dip and I will see you next month at the convention!

Scott

[bretberger]

Made me smile! Thanks.

[FFSmitty1]

You can get over alot further on one wheel, really brings back some great memorys. Great production on the video, and I like Gary Allen, perfect for this clip. Awesome

[linzo45]

I'd say this pilot has mastery over his C-140. I don't know whether that's natural ability or gobs of experience, or both, but it's beautiful to watch--especially in such a gorgeous airplane. Gotta get me a taildragger!!! And a polished one to boot.

[phalsmer]

What a beautiful C140! Who gets to polish all that aluminum! Too much fun...

[154442]

That bird is DDG (Drop dead gorgous)I want one! Thanks for the video.
