- By buddy Coyle offered me a flight in his Beautiful/Iconic Cessna 195 to pick my plane up from the software/autopilot upgrades. Love the sound of the Radial Engine purring. What an amazing airplane Cessna made. Think it's my new favorite single engine plane!!
Thanks again Coyle! :)

Gotta love that feeling when all those gremlins come together to make life so much easier. Great video and I loved the C195, been a long time seeing one.
Loved Kevin holding his hands poised just over the controls as the AP did its thing.
Thanks for bringing us along with ya once again and I look forward to the next one.
Nice to see you back again Kevin. When I was 14 the airport I was learning to fly from the owner/instructor W.E. Happel had a Cessna 195 with crosswind landing gear. I flew it twice in the air, never attempted a take off or landing.
Man, such a difference in IMC! While it's always good to stay sharp and hand fly approaches from time to time, the stress reducing effect of a solid ap really makes a difference. Congrats!
Beautiful 195, by the way. I'm totally jealous!
Thanks for sharing. The 195 is one of my favorite classic planes. So gorgeous!
Happy to see another video from U Kevin glad to hear that the new auto pilot is working awesome enjoy that flight out to the West when you go
Great to see your video, Kevin. You are a rockstar CZcamsr, and much appreciated. Like listening to Paul Harvey back in the day, I’m graciously awaiting, “The rest of the story.”
What a great collection or classics your friend has.
Kevin, I especially enjoyed this episode.
Former owner of N 4336N, a 1947 C 195 w/ X-wind gear, this brought back many good memories. 36N's paint job was identical to the one you were in. When I 1st saw the thumbnail, I had to immediately look for the tail number to make sure it wasn't our "Dirty Sally." Hoping one of these days you can do a full review of this classic beauty.
I noticed some Hartzell props! A buddy of mine is Jim Hartzell whose family owned the company. We have lunch together 5 times a week.
Love the videos!
Great video Kevin, hope all is well with you and the family
Kevin thanks for the video. That 195 is one beautiful aircraft. Looking forward to see your west coast trip vids
I love aircraft and have since I was a little kid and i have to admit not many capture my love more than a Cessna 195, a pure sweetheart of the skies that will always be a thing of beauty and class.
Absolutely stunning plane! Love it.
The 195 .. wow. just wow. Beautiful plane!!
Looks a lot like the plane the CFI owned that lived in Pagosa Springs, CO, that used to make teaching videos in it. But this one looks stunning in updates. It is fun to see these antiques updated.
Glad to see the plane is looking great and with the new software updates that you wanted. You and your wife are one of my favorite couples in aviation on CZcams. I have been following you for a while now and enjoy your great content. Sorry for being behind on videos but I see you got the airplane and I assume decided to keep your hanger and plane. I though you guys may be moving because of a career change or something else. No matter what you both decide it has been a honor to follow this great channel! God bless you and your family and looking forward to future videos. Safe travels in the air! Thank you so much!
Nope. Sold in December, these videos are from last summer.
A stabilized approaches a beautiful thing, and so is that 195.
Hey Kevin glad you are happy with the work done all the best to you and the family
Nice! You had me going when you said, "We'll climb up at 5000 fpm."... :) Great that you're getting the performance you were hoping for.
What a gorgeous C195! I just started flying with an autopilot so anything related to autopilot excitement I get.
First time in my 79 years, someone with my name. Really enjoy your channel
Awesome video man, love that 195 !!!!!!!
Hope to see or atleast hear you out here in the west. I have my handheld on every day here at the fire station
What a gorgeous 195
Great to see the software update is working well. Looking forward to the west trip.
We had a 195 at Air Adventures in Clewiston, FL; great jump plane. Nothing like the sound of a Shaky Jake cold start, very harleyesque.
Ive got a damaged 195 here thats been sitting for a long time, that makes me want to pull it out of the shed and start working on it again, what a beauty
I’m a low wing guy but those 195s are classics and shouldn’t be sitting around dying a slow death.
@@arthurbrumagem3844 one ive got ground looped, i repaired the wings still have to take care of the fuselage, too many projects going on 😬
@@flyingmechanic1 ouch, the infamous “ ground loop”. Damn good reason I fly an archer. I can screw it up in other ways 😂. A few years ago we had a gorgeous 195 here at kmic do a ground loop off the hard pan into the turf strip . He asked the tower if they witnessed that . They graciously said no and he went about his embarrassing taxi back to his hangar. A guy I know in KMNN has a gorgeous 195 as well. There are only two GA tailwheels I would want - a 195 or a 185 sky wagon. Both awesome planes. But at 74 I can bend over my archer wing to fuel it vs climb a ladder. Back to your plane - sure hope you can get that beauty in the air again as they represent aviation history in such a great fashion. 👍👍. Good luck
What a beautiful Cessna 195. Awesome 👏
As a teenager, I had the pleasure of going up in a 195 a few times. A good family friend owned one (N195BG). I believe it's still flying, but under new ownership. It was highly polished bare metal with USAF markings. One of the coolest planes I've flown in. My mom was a bit nervous of GA airplanes, but I remember her going up in it and our friend swinging the yoke over to the right and letting her fly it for a few minutes over UC Davis in northern California. Seeing this one brings back great memories.
Nothing quite like a round engine! Thanks for sharing.
Hello from Minnesota! Love the 195!! What an airplane to hitch a ride in!!
Awesome , Thanks 310 Pilot
Oh I so wanted to hear the 195.
Yours is nice too, thanks for the ride.
Wow! Kevin, how cool is that? Love flying right seat with you. Amazing new technology all you do is push the buttons and enjoy the flt.. Thanks 771 Bravo Charlie and a great Pilot. See you next time Kevin.
Grew up starting at a C-195 in a neighbor’s garage and lusting after it. I was too young to attempt to buy it, but I dream that I could. Loved that airplane, since it spurred me toward a career in aviation (Pilot then A&P). I still see that airplane in my dreams. Tx!
Nice, love it when a plan comes together.
Great feeling when the technology works and plays well together.
Glad to have ya back! War Eagle
Awesome legendary aircraft...
Almost so good you could take a nap (bad joke). Congrats with your upgrade. Ohh, that Cessna 195 was the best looking I saw. Cheers -
Look at the view,
So beautiful.
Loved the tug at the maintenance hangar. After they finish moving airplanes around, they can go out front and now the lawn. 😉
Actually looks like the deck and blade has been removed. She's in tug only mode now.
Gotta be one of my fav airplanes. So art deco, what a beauty. 146 kts over the ground aint shabby for that old girl either!
Great video Kevin
Lovely part of the USA! Even though I live in the UK, I have an aircraft based at Dacy Illinois 0C0, but due to Covid restrictions and closed borders, have not been able to fly it for two years or more. Hopefully this year!
Love the 195!
I think our border is open now, don’t know if the UK is still closed? My cousin travels back and forth from Cambridge.
Really nice video. It was fascinating looking at that wall of instruments in the old plane. It was beautiful. Not sure if the cameras smooth out the ride more than it is, but 1BC looked rock solid with the new upgrades. Wondered if it was a little scary dropping so low before taking control of the landing? Great job editing.
I really wish you had spent more time with video from the 195. But, if you do get the opportunity to go flying again with him in that airplane, a full video of it would be awesome.
Way back in the late 70s, early 80s, I had a couple of opportunities to ride, unfortunately not fly, in a Stearman. Pilot back then was in his 80s, having taught the Wright Brothers how to fly, and couldn't hear a word you said from so many hours flying behind radials with no headsets. A Stearman doesn't 'take off', it levitates off of the ground. Once the tail wheel comes up, it's like an elevator, it just continues to climb. It is the most docile and comfortable airplane in the air. The engine is something to listen to, especially if you don't have a headset to muffle it out, but I recommend only for short periods of time.
You've got some tail dragger time. I learned to fly in a Cessna 150 and a couple of Piper Cherokees, but one of my favorite airplanes to fly in is a J3 Cub, especially in the summer time, down at 500' AGL, with the doors open. Richard Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and other aviation books) talks about that, over the midwest corn fields, and while I was flying in New England along the coastline, it really is the same sense. You are at peace with the world, you're not going all that fast (you can barely keep up with the traffic on the interstate if the wind is wrong) and it's just an amazing way to fly.
I hope you and Jaime are doing well. Of course, we'd all like to know what's going on with you, but I also know you'll let us know in due time. In the meantime, thanks for these videos.
Avidyne GPS navigators and displays, S-TEC autopilot, and Garmin G5s. I can understand why there were some issues getting it all to work together, and how excited you are that it now does.
That 195 is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had the wherewithal to restore a plane to that condition.
A few years later, Kentucky Flying Service Mr. Dick (Mother) Malloy one of the FBO's at KLOU had a Stearman that he rented out. I had about 12 hours in it over the course of a year. It was a fun flying machine!
I was all pumped up thinking you were going to pick up 1BC's replacement.... The 195 is an awesome plane!
Yea, what’s going on anyway? Everyone is saying he already sold it, now he’s using it for a west coast trip. Ugh, it’s gone, it’s back, it’s gone bla bla bla. Wish he get rid of the thing and get an Aerostar, it’s same cost of operation and twice as fast and a whole lot less boring to watch.
@@tropicthndr These videos are posted months after the flight occurs. The west coast trip was actually last fall.
@@tropicthndr Is it possible that Kevin sold his beautiful 310 to Jimmy on Jimmy's World since Jimmy said in his last video that he was upside down with Mighty Mouse and that he might have to part it out ? ? ?
The C195 is just down right beautiful! Thanks for showing it to us.
That has to be one of the nicest airplanes I've ever seen. The avionics alone are more than I could afford.
Congratulations
I had the opportunity to fly in to Oshkosh AirVenture 2019 in a beautiful C-195 which was a great experience. Those beautiful birds sure get a lot of attention.
Love the 195. Flown in one a couple times myself. It’s a dream to own one. Also been in a 450hp Stearman.
5,000 feet per minute? What What? Haha! Thanks for the video Kevin!
Love the tail fin view❤️
...that landing wasn't all that bad Kevin! Nice Transitional Auto-Pilot links too ';-) Thanks for the ride/Mike
That 195 is so beautiful.
Coyle's C195 is just gorgeous👌I'm glad you are happy with your autopilot, looking forward to those west coast trips you mentioned!👍
I fueled a plane exactly line Coyle's plane several years ago. Color and all. I haven't seen one since. Maybe it was Coyle. Beautiful plane.
What a beautiful airplane!
Love the color scheme.
Awesome instrutmentation love all the gages
So glad you guys are still around...
All caught up on your vids now Kev.
Please say hi to Jaime.
That was a good flight back home
I've got some time in a 190 (240hp Continental radial). Fun to fly! Scary to land!
Beautiful plane
...and I thought that this was yours! I would have turned green immediately!
That autopilot was impressive. If you come out west to the PNW you’ve gotta see Mt. Ranier/St. Helens/Baker.
On your west coast "swing", come to wine country!!! Napa and Sonoma county airports are wonderful! I would be honored to take you to dinner if you come to STS!
Nice upgrade Kevin.
Thanks, Kevin.
The 195 is beautiful.
Kevin, hate to say it but I think the 195 is prettier than the 310 lol....that's a dream plane for me once the kids are gone, assuming I can fit in it.
I've seen a Cessna 195 in a museum but not flying, that one is beautiful!! I'm also a 'gremlin' chaser from way back, hunted way more than my share of gremlins!! LOL 8) --gary
Now Kev that was cool.
The 195 is one of my all-time favorites...would love to get my hands on one that well equipped.
Hi to Coyle! It’s a beauty of a 195 for sure.
ive got the second oldest still flying 195 and a 310 both just went down for annual sadly. both super fun to fly
I think I saw that plane at Poplar Grove a couple years ago. My dad saw it and has been wanting one since.
Had my fingers crossed for the bi plane but that one was also beautiful.
I was hoping to hear the radial in the 195. Love that sound. My dad had a 195 when I was a kid. Exciting to get stuff working, when not working its always in the back of my mind.
My opinion is the radial engine is the best sounding engine ever, I grew up not far from crop duster field Air Farm Paloalto Louisiana, and the Ag Cat’s would dust all around us of course i rode my bike to the field where they took off, loved the sound of start up and idle!!!
This past summer a b25 Mitchell flew over my farm en route to an air show. It has such a distinct deep tone that really gets your attention! You just don't hear them everyday
It's like, you watch this and wonder if Kevin knows at this point he will eventually sell the plane? I'm guessing not, I assume we will see that edited into a future video. You watch this video and think how can he sell it.
Don't think selling 1BC was ever contemplated until last fall when some unknown event(s) caused that decision to be made...do not believe their West Coast Swing happened either...I doubt that Kevin recouped all the money he invested in the upgrades when he reportedly sold it in Dec.
Awesome video as usual ! Any news on the sale of your 310 ? Next plane ? Are you moving ?
Love the 195 with a clean modern panel. The old, original, panel was a mess
Bravo!!
A guy at our field has a 195. A neat plane.😁
You should get a Stearman checkout. Makes flying every other airplane a walk in the park. I have about 250 hours in one, unfortunately had to give it up because of operating costs.
Sweet!!
Awesome
It looked good to me
I gotcha Kevin, I know exactly what your talking about. I've always thought the Cessna 310's were a solid flying bird and with your new dash I can just. Imagine. Say Kevin, have you heard about "Save The 310"?
Coyle, nice 'stash
That is cool
I didn't know you knew Coyle!
195 was sweet...but 310 is MUCH SWEETER! I love 310's! Sky King's didn't have a panel like that one though :)
Fantastic 👍🇺🇸😎...
That was a beautiful Cessna 195. The Stearman was great looking too. Are y'all still planning on selling1 Bravo Charlie. Hope not, stay safe.
"I love it when a plan comes together."
