2024 Sentimental Journey

This year a friend of mine and I were able to make it to Sentimental Journey at Lock Haven, PA (where my Pacer was built in 1960). I had planned to camp for two nights, but the attendance was not that large this year. I think it was because of the heat, it was really hot, so I stayed only for one night.

Thank you for sharing your Pacer and flight, Juergen! Hot camping can be very uncomfortable especially when there’s nothing else to do. I used to fly in Texas where it always seemed to be hot and windy in the summer. The current heat wave in the northern regions will pass eventually and good flying/camping weather will return. I look forward to your next adventure!

I really don’t mind the heat too much. it’s always nice to sit under the wing in the shade.

It was Awesome to meet you and get to chat with you Juergen! I love your plane, I think it's so cool looking. This past week was to darn Hot for me, I wasn't ready for it. I'm glad ya made it home safe, I think I caught the last 5 mins of your flight on my app so I know ya was alright! Haha. We had a Heck of a Storm come in Saturday night, blew trees down all over town of hughesville/Muncy area. Can't wait to see another Adventure. I really do want to get my Pilot license and fly bush planes, maybe some day! stay safe and hopefully get to hang out again next year and it won't be so darn hot!

Great videos! I fly out of KHWY in VA. I’m a student pilot almost finished with my PPL. Just my long Xcountry and check left. I’m very interested in a clipper or pacer. I’m 45 and will be retiring in 5 years from the fire department. Looking for my forever plane to have fun in! Would love to see your pacer some time!

The Pacer has been a great airplane for me for the last 25 years and over 2,600 hours on it. I’ll be glad to show you the Pacer sometime.

I love this video! Did you take a golf cart ride to the Piper Aviation Museum? I'm an employee there. We had our air conditioning really cranked up! Did you see the C54? Those guys were truly amazing! They wore their purple jumpsuits in that heat the whole time. I opened the gates and even drove the tug at one point as my rear end fried on the seat while another fellow drove the stairs over to the side hatch. The C54 is still here in the museum lot.

I didn’t go to the museum this time. I have visited it about three times so far. Maybe I come over again next year.
