- MoJo & Mindy Jo - Episode 3!
Come along as I teach my husband, Kevin, how to fly our new-to-us 1957 Cessna 182A Skylane. Kevin earned his pilot certificate in Jan 2021 but hasn't flown lately and is new to the 182.

I love how Mindy is ALL BUSINESS when instructing regardless of who's in the left seat because safety is your first and best friend in the air. Well done to Kevin as well. And MOJO is so beautiful.
She is definitely a professional. A credit to the industry.
Super kind - thank you.
@@Schmiiindy super good instructor and easy on the eyes😎
Husband and wife--AND student and instructor? Wow, that's a strong relationship. I don't think I'd try that personally, but you guys seem to work well together.
Mindy, I knew YOU were a good pilot, but did not realize what a Great instructor you ARE! You were able to get him to do everything correctly with smooth and concise verbal instruction that is easy on the ear and comprehensible to any student. You GO GIRL !
You are an amazing teacher. You make him confident while giving instruction.
OMG, such a gorgeous plane. Go Kevin, go!!!! Don't know about that clear scream though. LOL
GREAT JOB MAN!!!!! good to see you back on here !!!
I really enjoy your genuineness (both of you). Thanks for documenting the adventures.
Beautiful aircraft you both have and I’m so excited for you both
Hope to see more videos like this. Seems like he has a great teacher hope you tape the next ones.
Great video! Nice job, Kevin ( and Mindy ) !!
Great one! Y’all so good together. Waiting on the next one!🏆🏆
This was fun and I love seeing your beautiful Mojo doing what she wants to do…FLY! Well done, both of you!
😃👍 Great video. Love the vintage C182’s! So much plane and easy to fly.
Dude! I am sooooo jealous! 😁 Awesome job teaching, awesome job learning!
Great job guys! You got this Kevin! Mindy has the patience of a saint!
Great job teaching, Mindy! And great job. Kevin, in the left seat! Really enjoy the videos and following your journey.
Great flight, great teacher, very nice landings! Thanks Mindy and Kevin for share.
Awesome video!!! You are correct, Kevin, you've got the "best teacher there is"!!!! You both did a wonderful job!!
Good flight Kevin ! more video guys please !! Saludos desde España! :)
Awesome video, Kevin did great with your expert guidance👍Can't wait for the next instalment, I just love this beautiful old Cessna👌
Great landings, especially holding the nose off after landing at Falcon (not so easy as 182s are notoriously nose heavy on landing), and good landing at the grass strip especially given the obstacles (love to hear that stall horn when landing at a short field, means the plane is thru flying). The only other “suggestion” I would have is around the phrase “full power out” during landing which might be a little confusing for low time pilots who are used to hearing the words “full power” associated with takeoffs, go arounds, etc. I like “power to idle”, but again this may be personal preference. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Oh Wow you guys are so cool together and the Skylane is just so mint. Well done and please let us have more videos!
That was fun to watch! Very productive interactions. You should do another one of these soon! That is one beautiful vintage aircraft.
Nice job coaching Kevin! The debrief at the end was as informative as the actual inflight video was.
Very refreshing and informative. I liked the conversation and what a great teacher Mindy is. This channel has tons of potential. Looking forward to future vids.
Such a beautiful plane. Great job Kevin !!!! - Mindy, you are a fantastic instructor !!
Great work! Keep them coming! And oh, Kevin, ya better get her to put that ring back on quick !!!😆😆
So happy to find your channel returned! Immediately subscribed. Kevin, I think you have a flight instruction program most can only dream of.
Thank you Mindy for your incredible instruction! Learned SO much as I'm completing my PPL....so appreciate it. Greetings from Minnesota & MSP! Jon
Great video! I love the husband/wife interaction. Besides all the other great comments, I loved the post flight review. Keep them coming.
I love the way you taught your husband to feel and listen to the airplane. So many instructors stress to react according to airspeed and other insrument readings. The airplane will tell you so much if you feel and listen. Great job!
Great video! I was lucky to have some good instructors, but Schmiiindy takes the cake! Nice job Kevin - super smooth! Happy to see you all livin' the life!
This is the first video I have watched that I needed my sunglasses for! What a shiny ✨ airplane ✈️😎🌞
Love it!! and love the plane the year I was born 2/13/1957 that was a great day Thank you I am a student Pilot and you are a great teacher!!
Awesome! Looking forward to more.
CLEEEAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHH!!!! You guys are so much fun! Nice job!
what a delightful vidéo. i remember touch and go's with my CFI. then finally solo, full stops at our airport. good times. like he said: 'he was focused !"
Great video - both content and quality! Fun watching you both. Kevin will soon grab the pebbles from your hand.
SO fun!!! Love your channel......thanks for sharing! Gorgeous airplane too.....wow....! Congratulations!
Wow. 1st video of yours I’ve seen but that was awesome! Clearly he is already a pilot, but the classic 182 with manual flaps was great.
So you guys live on an airport and own multiple planes! I’m so jealous.
You did a really nice job in the right seat with your spouse in the left. Well done, both of you. Takes a special relationship to give, and to receive instruction from a spouse / parent etc.
You two are great. Congratulations on the awesome plane and airport home.
It great to see N3802D has found a great home. I miss flying it .
Mindy, You and your airplane are the best…
As a airline captain , I learned a lot from this video . Thanks….
It's great to see you both flying ! "The best teacher!" It must be awesome to have your wife as a CFI and you get to bond as a husband and wife, and enjoy aviation ! Thanks for sharing your video. If you guys are ever in Orlando, let me know ....KISM
Love seeing that airplane. Back n the 50s my uncle owned a 182 with the exact same classic paint scheme. He flew it out of a 1200’ grass strip that sloped downhill, which made for some lively takeoffs and landings.
Looking forward to episode 4!
Let’s go Kevin! Great stuff
Good training video especially for CFI how to guide student through the flight profile. My landing technique for short runways with high obstacles is derived from my gliding experience. Final approach with second flap position and full flap position after passing the trees, nose down and power to idle and on some types apply Power for the flare to give the elevator better authority
Plane is crackin'! Looks stunning... very nice.
Hell yes!!! You two are about the coolest MOJO's in all the land - Seriously, can't WAIT to hang and fly together again soooooon!
We can’t wait either!!!! #OGP !
Such a pretty plane! I love the paint scheme!
Nice. Teaching a spouse can be touchy business. Great interaction between both of you. Respect!!!
Agreed! Luckily it's all for fun and he's not training for a profession....so if we have a bad day at each other's throats....we just don't do training. Gotta know your envelope, right?!
Having your wife for an instructor, doesn't get any better than that. Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
It must be Christmas. Three new videos in such a short time. Mindy, you and Kevin make such a cute couple. You must have a lot of fun and joy in your relationship. Mindy, you are such a great flight instructor. I never ever had a flight instructor who was as much fun as you are..... What a great teaching style....serious but so much fun. I'm sure watching these videos will improve all of us pilots' skill sets in flying better and safer. It's great to review the basics in such a relaxing and entertaining video. Please keep the videos coming !
Walter
thank you very very much!!
Great instruction I wish my CFI was as calm and collected as you are. I can remember going into a grass strip for the first time I was so focused on staying above the tree line my cfi had to tell me to drop the nose and chop power.
Haha yep exactly! A different type of flying for sure.
You seem like a great CFI. Calm and let him control the plane but there to back him up.
I definitely love the clear scream. It must have addressed that initial anxiety.
Beautiful couple, your kids are going to be gorgeous. Thanks for sharing 🍸
Nice vlogs…keep them coming 👍🏼
Great video. Really impressed with how you work with a student
Wonderful to see how you guys interact…. Pilotsgreetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Love it. Thank you for sharing.
I mindy and Kevin hope both of you are well. Kevin did brilliant I thought Kevin forgot to put the full mixture in on take off the red lever. I think Kevin will be ok when he gets used to the plane and the landing strip.and what can I say about our mindy what a awesome instructor philip was right I think you will be brilliant at the instructor side of it.mindy and Kevin philip hope's you will do some more vlogs that was brilliant. You could do one from checking the plane over before take off. Philip wishes he was out there with you. Take care and happy flying to you both phil. 👍🇬🇪🤝🇬🇧🤘
Mindy, you must have had an amazing instructor who taught you...LOLO. Nice job "Combat Corbitt". I'm happy for both you and Kevin..
Mojo. Great name. Great instructing and what a cool way to learn to fly, from your bff!
Instructor Mindy is awesome. Safe is good.
The only thing that looks better than Mojo on the ground is Mojo in the air!
You sound like a great teacher, very clear in your instruction!
What an incredibly beautiful plane!
Great job guys.
What a beautiful plane.
Enjoyed watching the video. Felt like I was learning as I watched also.
Great editing also! How do you make it look so professional?
Thank you. By luck, I suppose....I don't think I am a great editor by any means, still learning as I go. We do have a nice camera & mic's for our ground clips that help, though.
What a gorgeous plane!
1. that "clllEEAAARR!!!" ahahahaha... (reminded me of the guy from Angle of Attack channel)
2. "You got the pilot voice" hahaha so true!
3. Nothing like a couple that loves flying.
4. Oh so much fun stuff in this video. Its more challenging to be the CFI of a spouse.
5. Keep it up. New subscriber here.
Perfect approach to landing
Cool, just sat down - great timing. Watching....
Excellent video - takes me back. Kevin was so focussed he missed the "always listen to you" part. Could watch this all day. Thanks ! ✈
Haha yes he gets laser focused 😂 some times I have to nudge him just to make sure he’s still breathing
Well Done Capt. Mindy and Co-Capt. Kevin... That's a challenging Strip that you live on, but knowledge is key and your bride definitely knows the way in and outwith style and grace ';-)
Captain Mindy you are a pro. Good flying Kevin
So cool to watch you teach him the MOJO way 😀
Very nice job - by both of you!
excellent video...only thing is the climbing out part, I heard you mention about a cruise climb after clearing the trees. In the rare event that there is going to be problems with the engine, its most likely going to be in the climb, we want altitude as fast as possible to at least 1000 feet, and I know of two people who are alive today because of that. You two are a beautiful couple and have the nicest airplane. Maybe will see you and the airplane at Osh. 🙂
Ha yea it’s not exactly a cruise climb but at full power really over works our engine…our operating manual calls for it this way in hopes to prevent exactly what you’re talking about. Thank you!!
Hi Team, Great video, I love all your comments on sounds, that is really an important, under utilized point. You both make a great team and Mindy your instruction was great. Does Kevin have a complex endorsement? Prop and MP confuse people the first hour or so until they get familiar. I am so jealous, that is just such a pretty airplane.
He earned his high performance rating with me a few weeks ago! & yes, Prop & MP do take some time getting used to, totally.
That plane is the same age as me! I used to fly right seat with Grandpa Bill in his 182. Really miss him. Cheers!
That’s a tight squeeze in that cockpit!
You both did a great job. Recommendation: One of the most important things to do is using the checklist, even you just fly traffic pattern and using fix procedures. E.g. final check: Mixture rich, Prop full forward, Flaps as required, ……..
Lots is cut out in the editing process :) Thank you!!
Great video!
Nice. We were watching and wondered why we haven't seen Whisky in a while. Then as you were pulling up to your hangar, I think I had a sighting, a small welcoming committee.
Ha, actually she is not here!! Whiskey is now re-homed to be an indoor cat after she got beat up too much around the neighborhood from other stray cats and such...I don't think she was gonna make it too long living outdoors/in the hangar.
You guys are a hoot!
Found your channel thanks to Citation Max. Your husband seems to be managing your classic C182 just fine.
GG, on the great flight lesson! :)
Wow, this brought back memories, had to look at my log, the year was 1976, I soloed a champ in 6 hours, got ppl in a 150, then checked out in a '57 172. Nice job both of you! Still have the cub?
Wow that’s awesome. No we sold the cub to get this one!
@@Schmiiindy very cool, enjoy. It looks amazing!
Mindy, you're a natural.
Better Together!
Hey Kevin you are doing great and the most important part is that your Bride is teaching you and that is what I’m looking forward to getting my Bride to flying along side me
I flown the Straight tail 182 Skylane which was a 59 model
Oh man I love your plane.
I just found your channel. Looks like fun and informative. I subscribed. I think I saw you flying with STEVEO
Work that boy hard & through the paces, Mindy!! 😄
you know i will!
Flew skydivers in an identical make/model for 10 years, carb ice is a big deal with that O-470 config. We saw quite a bit, at all ambient temp ranges. Copious use of carb heat advised in the pattern. Two other pilots with our club, lost engine on final with carb ice.
Thanks for the heads up! We’ve heard the same and also faced similar issues with our last plane…will be using lots of carb heat!
@@Schmiiindy And with just me onboard, half tanks of fuel, I could yank it off the ground in 200 feet (or less some days) by grabbing a handful of flaps. I loved how light it was. Take care and will enjoy watching you two flying it!
@@buckbuchanan5849 So cool. Can't wait to figure out what this thing can really do!!
cool little airplane
Really nice video.
Mindy, I enjoyed your video. Also enjoyed your airplane I have a 1956 Cessna 182 that we have just finished upgrading and rebuilding. Yours is a nice looking airplane. I’d like to share that picture of mine.
