- Barn find .. Cessna 172 1959 model found in a barn ... had been there for 20 years total time is only 2000 hours .. Graham the new owner bought and restored it to flying condition ..The plane was taken to a workshop to have the work carried out .
wondrgul video great flight .and i love polished very shape .thank you for share.
I Owned and piloted a 1959 Cessna 172-- N7117T for 5 years and 1200 hours in 1974-1979-loved her. Bought a 1959 Cessna 182-- N7159E change to N43LW, 1979-2006(27) years & 2300 hours. Lost medical ( a-fib) so had to sell her--broke my heart. Used them in my ranching business and they were perfect for that. Checking on wildlife, livestock ,windmills, water tanks, water troughs, fences, water pipelines and trespassers .All low & slow flying. Landing and taking off of typical S. W. Texas KDRT (Rio Grande, Pecos and Devils River area) dirt ranch runways, rough and short. Both planes are better performers than any new same make Cessna today. Thanks for the Beautiful video-many memories!
You are welcome . Yes time waits for know one and we get to that stage in life where we have to give up ..Myself included now memories as well.. Still it was fun while it lasted.. I have two other videos of planes and spares as well if interested..👍👍
The more planes we get flying the better aviation will be👍👍 great find
I had a 1956 C172 with that same 1959 paint scheme. Great flying plane.
My husband told me he used to fly a plane like this, he was a Vietnam veteran. I asked him if he can still manage to fly like this, he said yes, lol Awesome vintage plane. Warm greetings for you and your wife . Stay safe and God bless always.
Like riding a bicycle you never forget , I don't fly anymore myself , I still could if I wanted to..👍👍
No such thing as an ex pilot
@@spannaspinna Sure there is. If the FAA yanks your ticket or you're no longer physically fit to fly, you're an ex-pilot.
These are sweet airplanes! I had some great hours flying the old straight tail 172’s. Incredible find!
truly the best 172,s flying still today even this one down under. hope to buy one for myself when i get back too flying been away since 2009. great airplane god bless
What a great find and to see it fly again after all those years in a Barn
Yes and the engine still sounds very nice..
What a Gem great Find, She looks like she's eager to fly...again.
Reminds me of flying at age 16 and soloed in high school. Worked at an FBO and got pilots license in high school.
Growing up in the late 70’s my Dad had a 1958 Cessna 172 N4267F. I know where the plane is and I’d love to buy it back!!!! At the age of 10 years old my Dad had me do touch and go’s all weekend in the summer of 1978!! I want to get this airplane back!!!!!!!! Love the old 172’s they fly so good with plenty of power!
Nice video. I’m old and done it all. But nothing is better than flying.
Thank you for watching Bill I am like you getting older , but that's life...👍👍 Check out my others on planes..
Lucky, all i ever find in old barns are nails, bolts and car parts never anything as nice as this. Looks very lovely wish i could find one.
They are out there just have to know someone I guess , thank you for watching 👍👍
I’ve flown in the 152 and others but mostly in the 172. Love it...
My introduction to flying was in a 152 on a very windy day at FXE FT LAUDERDALE EXECUTIVE.
I was hooked the second we left the ground. Got my ticket at airborne systems at FXE. In A 172 5229 R and 6101F this was the plane I took my check ride in. That was 2001. There is no way to explain how you feel every time you leave the ground heading to wherever.
awsome.i love flying.love to see old things work again.larry
Thank you for watching 👍👍
love the polished alloy
Very Nice !
Thank you for watching..
My Friend Klasse Great Job Joop Visser From Holland.
Boy he gets away from you in a hurry he sure does...lots of power in that small aircraft.
The engine sounds really nice. 150 hp 6 cylinder continental. I have done many hours in 172s so easy to handle ..And many other different make's ..
Due to family priorities, I've been chasing my dream of flying for 35 years. Now the waiting has come to and end . TIME TO FLY!
Jorge enjoy the ride , it is a very satisfying feeling when you go solo and know you are in command and the dream has finally happened, enjoy it while you can..Good luck for the future..
Thanks
Your flying is starting..mine is just ending..after 32 years..happy landings to you..
I was very fortunate as I was 24 when I got my certificate. It challenges every sense and physical abilities. But the rewards are over the top. I’m 70 now but I can still remember that moment when my instructor and I made a pass in the pattern, landed and he got out. My first solo of 91j was nothing short of euphoric. That’s just the beginning of learning and it never ends. Good luck.
Following the taxi & takeoff with the car 🚗 9:01 was a great 👍🏻 idea and very cool 😎! Very interesting perspective! Landing 12:01
Thank you for watching 👍👍
@@kevinandgemma7740 Thanks for reply.
An early model 172 As Good As It Gets. Well you can use a little more horsepower that came out in the later models but I guess you can upgrade that
This one goes well, Graham is very happy with it , thank you for watching it is faster than the other one in the hanger .👍👍
wonderful sharing
Flew in a 172 in the 70 over Lands End did not know l was flying with a Battle of Britain pilot
Thank you for watching 👍👍
All time classic aircraft.
wow - what a great sounding pass - thanks for sharing!!
I learnt to fly just in the same aircraft,ten years ago. Cessna 172 ,1959.
That is nice to know hope you are enjoying the flying . Thank you for watching 👍👍
VH - Country Women’s Association!! Sought after rego! 🙂
He has don a beautiful job on restoration T would love to be there to give him a hand but I'm not that well but I've always loved these ever since when I was 16 I built a very large RV scale Model of them John
Thank you for watching John . Hope you get well soon , take good care of yourself 👍👍
Nice plane!
LUV DAT LIL 150 !! 🍺 👍
Boy, I'd love to get my hands on that 150 Aerobat!!!!
Unfortunately he wont sell it even though he can not fly anymore..Thank you for wtching..
I soloed and took my check ride in a 150 aerobat back in 1971. It would be nice to own as a collectable of sorts but as an aerobat isn't all that hot. You can't even do an outside snap roll in them. :-)
Hi yes they are a nice little aircraft to fly I owned a 150 and I used it a lot nearly every weekend when the weather permitting , thank you for watching 👍👍
@@annon231
I did all of my solos in a brand new 150 Aerobat. 152's weren't even on the market yet. 🙂
3.5 hours, eh?
Cool paint scheme!
Sad, many great airplanes allowed to go to ruin by not being properly kept and for no reason at all. If you can't afford to properly take care of something don't buy it in the first place. Hope the new owner does a better job.
America truly is the country of aviation
Yes you are right I did do some flying there after obtaining a US license . I found it so easy to get around as well . Thank you for watching ...
@@kevinandgemma7740 Thank you for the video. Very interesting watch. I'm a pilot from Austria and here, everything is hyper regulated, you're practically allowed to do nothing without comparatively costly licenses and everything about aviation is generally very expensive.
@@cellokid5104 here in Australia we have a special licence now that allows you to still fly , we have restrictions , not fly in controlled air space only carry one passenger and a few other things take care and thank you again..👍👍
WoW ! You Should Never Pull or Push and Airplane by the Prop !
Awesome!
Thank you for watching 👍👍
sweet ride.
Me too my friend . I can fly but not liscened. I am into the new gyro, short takeoff and landing and if motor dies float back down but so so expensive and limited on passenger..we use to fly from Florida to Bahamas on 1prop 2 seater. Scary. Haha..God bless
I did get a licence in the states and do some flying there ..Up north in Wisconsin..
@@kevinandgemma7740 man that is nice,for me when I am flying I am so happy like butterflies enjoyment.
@@TomandRuthPhilippineAdventures Have a look at my end screen video's there are many more 👍👍
Hello, that's nice plane Sir
Thank you , for subscribing i have done the same to your channel looks like you have some nice videos .. I am stuck here in Australia can not return to the Philippines yet not good ..
@@kevinandgemma7740 Thank you Sir. My husband is in France also, needs to attend personal business. This Covid is making life travel miserable.
@@frenchandpinayssimplelifei1174 Yes you are so right we have been separated since christmas 2019 so sad , we talk many times a day on messenger but not the same as being together ..
Seem to recall I saw this aircraft at toowoomba airfield around 1986
I owned a 59 172 in 1976... has it for a few years, sold it to buy a C195 with some other guys that fell apart...still miss it today.....you guys being down under, does the water in the tank float to the top?
Water still on the bottom here 😂😂 I did some flying in the states up North in Wisconsin after getting my licence there.. There are a lot of aircraft sitting in barns around the country here .Thank you for the comment 👍👍
@@kevinandgemma7740 The remark was no fuel check of sumps, tank levels were checked...:)
@@johnstanczak5075 yes all checks were done no water ..
One of my few regrets in life, now getting my pilots license when I was younger.
Was always my ambition to fly..I have about 800 hours . Have flown many different types . Started flying back in 1964 ..
You're never too old If you can pass the physical
I was fortunate to get a job at 16 in high school at Fresno Air Terminal. I learned to fly in high school.
Great time and working at an airport sure beat flipping burgers. My high school girl friend was my first passenger.
CFIIATPMEI
I love it. But how do you buy it?
I am not sure if he is willing to sell yet ..
@@kevinandgemma7740 ok. But I have cash and desire
Prop hit something and got bent? Sounds like a prop strike to me. So they did an engine tear down, inspection and re-build?
Where is this location, whereabouts?
Many thanks Kevin and Gemma, your reply much appreciated.What a "barn find" Got any more?
West of Albury NSW about 15 klm on the Howlong Road ..
czcams.com/video/E3cFZuTw9G8/video.html&ab_channel=KEVINANDGEMMA This is on the other farm..A hanger with many planes ..There are a few more that i know of and i will try to do more videos .
It's a tragedy that general aviation has become so expensive that only the well to do can afford it.
Regulated to death.
Not really. You can start flying for the price of a used car or less. Most CFI’s would charge about $20 per hour and you need 40 hours. There’s always the poor mans way with experimental. Ultra light. Just need a valid drivers license and a teacher. And maybe insurance. Fun cheap flying and a way to feel what it’s like to take off and land.
@@mitchwolf5038 RARE is the person who earns a PPL with only (part 61) 40 hours (part 141 is 35 hours). The average is around 65. I've been a licensed pilot since 1971 and have never met anyone who had just the part 61 minimums (20 solo, 20 dual) and received a PPL. Not saying it hasn't happened but it's rare as hens teeth. :-)
Wow...eny meany miny mo....which one to fly...which ones to restore?
Have a look at my end screen video's there are more thank you for watching 👍👍
Hate to think of the recertifying costs for that, they would want to strip and rebuild every part on it.. maybe it is just the UK CAA that wants to control everything just for the sake of it and paperwork. Was he dropping hints that you were in the way of the runway edge?
We had talked about what i was going to do. Was okay .Thank you for watching..
A bird strike damaged the prop ? Hmmmmm
prop strike and no engine tear down or inspection?
Two planes found ?
How did you even find this?
When you live in a country area word gets around that is how it was found.. Thank you for watching 👍👍
Im mexican.i need buy and faind another cessna 172.1959.tanks ..litle inglis.sorry...
Nice 172, SIDS checks completed?
Yes all done..
Continental O-300?
why would anyone just leave those beauties to sit and rot?
Unfortunately Dean they are running out of time age is catching up on them..To much other work to do as well as the two farms to take care of have a look at the other three videos on planes as well, thank you for watching..👍👍
Do u sell uno of.them for sale
Sorry no they are not for sale .. Thank you for watching 👍👍 ..
With flaps 40)
what is the registration on the helicopter tail???
As far as I know there is no registration on that one . There was another one that had an accident hit a power wire that one has been sold . My friend who owns the hanger said that he doesn't think that there is a registration on it either..
@@kevinandgemma7740 im a local helicopter pilot in chiltern would love to come visit the hangar any chance?
@@markanderson5690 yes you can ..Do you know where it is ..call me on 0412101959 ..we can talk then..
I’m operating on the assumption that this was not a “barn find” that you just fired up and took to the skies., correct? It had been inspected and signed off prior to this video being made?
Graham had found it on a farm .. It had not flowen for 20 years .He had it taken to a workshop.. The inspection and sids were done..yes this video was done after ..As I said he found it in a barn..And he knows where there are others just sitting..
@@kevinandgemma7740 Oh that’s great! Finding underused aircraft and giving them a new life is so great!!
@@freddb34 This is the 4th plane he has found and put back into flying condition again.. Thank you for watching..
