My dad has owned 3 or 4 of these! I grew up flying in a Viking

Great video, thanks! What headset is that, please?

i just noticed something, lol your losing your hair. hi ya baldie lol wax on wax off. lol best airplane money can buy. i have owned my 1978 turbo bellanca sine 1984 i also have a cessna mixmaster p i use that for long cross countries. but the bellanca is great to just go to dinner in las vegas i am in upstate washington. the bellanca is the most underrated plane out there. all that fun from what i can see on aso for under 140 grand

make sure you carrry a hammer and small nails with you. i wont sell mine i bought it at aestate sale 15 years ago, for 30 grand. family had no idea what it was worth. i bought it in wyoming. my interior is all leather custom built. like flying a sportscar. i shoudl takeyou up in mine i will roll it. loop it. and i only have one parachute in mine. lol just in case. the plane is easy to roll.but i also took aerobatci lessons back in the early 70's i also over 17000 hrs. around 2600 in the viking.

now wait aminute i own a 1979 superviking andmy stripper gf lovves the crushed velvet lol putting a pole in it tomorrow, i have been flying since 1968 and have owned 4 suer vikings over the years. i just had a/c installed and a new avidyne glass panel. they are one of hte best undervalued planes out there. but i also own a 1978 cessna p337 for flying around here in upstate washington and my trips to alaska.a wooden wing flexes in bumpy air. and the factory still builds them only 1 a year

Loved my old 67 Viking; wonderful airplane and it did all the aerobatics in the vid with ease and lots of fun; and I heard a rumor it once flew under that big bridge by San Francisco--

My mother worked on all of the interior of the Bellanca Super Viking. She sewed all the seats did all of the interior in crushed velvet and even had crushed velvet pillows. At one time they put one airplane out every 24 HRS from the Bellanca Aircraft Factory at Alexandria Minnesota where this particular plane was built.

Any news on the plane!?

Wow she did so well dealing with his lack of humility, his excuses, his rationalizations and ego! Less yapping more flying and learning, he just seems irritated he’s not even close to perfect. I would love to have her coaching me!

Great work~!!! Very nicely edited. From a fellow Super Vike driver who’s always wanted to strap a camera to his wing~~ thank you!!! Jeff N8870V

I’m looking at purchasing a super Viking but living in Arizona I’m concerned about the plane being parked outdoors? I’m told it should be hangared because of the wood wings. Obviously I’m having a hard time finding a hangar. Anyone have thoughts feedback on m concern?

Great video! Was this plane ever registered to an owner from Texas?

When you own a Super Viking, you will use it as a yardstick on any other plane that you fly. The only other plane that I would consider is the 235 Cherokee. The 235 isn’t as fast and glamorous but it will outperform a 182 for less money. I’ve been out of flying a while but went to get my BFR in a 172 and I had briefed my instructor on my past Bellanca ownership and he said “you will think this 172 is a kite with a motor on it”. He was exactly correct. If you ever fly a Bellanca, everything else will be a kite with a motor.

"Nothing flies like a Bellanca!"

i am in my late 20s and really interested in aviation. Once I start making good money at my job, I’m going to start the process. Maybe some day I’ll be able to buy my own plane. I’ve been looking some Super Vikings online and it seems like they are great. Baby steps though!

I like to trim nose down..So i can just relax my stick over the top invert..

Love it man!!! I grew up in Fort Wayne, IN. My grandfather had a Super Viking that i grew up in. 1275R is based In TX, and should hopefully one day be mine. Great seeing good family time!!!

Why would you gear up with so much runway left ?

I’ve owned 3 of them,,,, if you haven’t flown one your missing an amazing flight. N14705, N14690, N4134B

They start with a P in Hawaii

Very good conversation family, crystal sons, take off the movil 😢😢😢

is that A period Moore, ex Comair?!!!!!

remember to fly upside down at least twice a month as regularly schedualed preventitive maintainance 😂

Nice video guys... what year is your Bellanca Super viking? I am looking at a 1974 version with 2800 TT and 400 since overhaul. In mint shape... Just wondering what you would think it's worth? Trying to make a decision between the Bellanca and the D62... Hmmmm price was no object. Kidding.. But I flew a Bellanca back in the late 70s along with our old J-3 and a Cherokee 140. The Bellanca is faster, lighter and softer flying. Just give me a number you think I should pay for a low hours, great interior, all original nav w auto. Trying to get my wife to learn to fly.... I saw one other of your videos so far. You do a nice job. I'm sure the boys have learned to fly by now, eh? I started at 4-5 years old. Soloed at 12, when I took the plane without permission, the J-3. We had our own runway at the farm and dad was on a biz trip. Thought I'd get away with it. Instead I got a beating every day for two weeks. More to let me know I could have killed myself. Flew for over 30 years then life took over. Now at 68 I'm getting back to it. How much is a 74 BSV worth? Thanks !

Great video and great instruction, thanks for sharing!

Glad to see someone updating a Super Viking.

I know what the backseat guy mesns but i dont think the guy in the front seat always is understanding him. This better be the 3rd or 4th flight for the student

Very nice Bellanca, the A is pronounced ah, like in father. Italian uses single vowel sounds for all vowels, a is always ah, just like in spanish and Portuguese.

I've always wanted to run a dry sump on an online six engine and stuff it upside down way way back in the "transmission tunnel" of a car

where do you get those interiors?

Hi sir..can u make video how fuel tank works..how airplan can fly upside down and keep fuel feed the engine..

Sweet airplane! I love the craftsmanship that was and is each Bellanca. They are the pinnacle of function, practicality and art!

10:45…another aircraft or “something” flying below you whilst you spun down. 😳

It's absolutely beautiful ❤

Never seen a pregnant instructor before this was a great lesson 10/10

The long A is common with some European languages 😊

What is the zero thrust setting for your model 310? I have a 66'K & need a value...

How can you put distracting music on a flat spin...? Get serious. We are learning here.

Bellanca Super Viking was manufactured at the Bellanca Aircraft Factory in Alexandria Minnesota. My mother worked in the upholstery department and did the entire interior of the airplane including seats in crushed velvet.

Cool! I've done Flat Spins in an Extra 300. Just not inverted ones!

WTF no video of the flight waste of time not interesting good luck😒

So inspiring to see as a female pilot studying for my Multi ! 😊

Side note: AK and HA airport ICAO begin with a P vice K

6-23-23: Any new videos? I have enjoyed watching. Love the Viking!!! 👍🏻

The instruction from the back is ridiculously over complicated. Particularly with the basic aileron roll and rudder following. Just another example of "over teaching" to make sure you feel incompetent and have to struggle more to learn basic sh#t you would figure out with some practice and less bullsh#t from the back seat.

Yes if he wanted his pilots license,but he didn't so he bought A DC-9 -30 had other pilots fly him around

She is SO good at working with the defense mechanisms (we ALL do them, of course!). Amazing skills of guidance and assurance, what a great example in helping you rise to the occasion!

I hope you were on an IFR flight Plan with a clearance prior to departure.

Hey man, you said this was your 1st plane after doing all your training in a Cessna172 can you touch on what it was like transitioning to such a different plane, was it a huge learning curve from one to another?

Can I ask how much that cost? I'm potentially buying a '73 Super Viking this weekend and one thing I will want to do is upgrade my avionics as well.
