flying to san diego for new avionics! 140A restoration part 1

Thank you to Garmin and Neal Aviation for sponsoring this video!
Today, we're starting the restoration of my 1949 Cessna 140A! We'll take off from Camarillo, fly through busy Socal airspace, and land at Neal Aviation (www.nealaviation.com/ ) for a panel refresh and Garmin avionics install. The avionics install will add a WAAS GPS, increased radio functionality, an ADS-B traffic display, and a digital attitude indicator and HSI display while keeping the panel vintage. We'll take an inside look at the avionics install process and you'll even get a sneak peek at the new panel!
In the next video, we'll fly Lil Ugly from Gillespie Field to Santa Maria for new paint and interior at ArtCraft - stay tuned! Thank you for watching!

You know you're flying a Cessna when you have a bird strike...and it's from behind. Looking forward to this transformation.

[@NickzAndMikz]

Hahahaha

[@lyskamm88]

😂😂😂

[@glitch-pr3nr]

But she is still flying😂🎉

[@bleonardyou]

Now that was a truly funny comment. Thanks.

[@curtiscampbell6178]

Love your radio work. You always sound excited but in control and seem to pass that happy feeling to the controllers - you can hear their voice change while talking with you. Even though they are short interactions. Infectious enthusiasm!

[@gewglesux]

Would love to see/hear her and LU in the pattern at JFK

[@cjswa6473]

Amazing how birds made to fly don't have a Garmin gps or radio or have midairs...yet somehow get there

[@gewglesux]

@@cjswa6473They have had lots of practice

[@HenkPeels]

The wing camera looking into the plane is awesome. Very crisp, high res. Keep using that 🙏🏼

[@louislandi938]

As a Private Pilot who can no longer fly, I’m enjoying your adventures. You’re doing a fine job.

[@lostreb]

With my birth date still being before that of any aircraft you own, it gives me great pleasure to see you trying to keep us "old f@rts" flying!!!! Old and Slow is an everyday thing with me now, I'm sorry to say. (It's extremely frustrating waking up every day with another "challenge" responding with..."This is new." followed immediately by "Dammit!!!" As you mentioned in your pre-flight checklist, things back when I was young were "Very Simple!!!" Thank you for trying to keep vintage aircraft in the air, Stevie!!! And please keep the great videos coming!!!

[@gallagher911]

Always an amazing experience flying with you Stevie. Such a wonderful pilot and your excitement is contagious. Thanks for sharing your journey(s) with us.

[@varieze117pj7]

As a rural pilot I appreciate your radio work. Following along helps me with mine.

[@brnby8984]

The mix of vintage and digital is gonna look so good!

[@CaliKim29]

CaliCameraGuy - absolutely loved this on all levels!!! I learn so much just from watching (I'm not a flier). I really enjoy all the camera views and edits. This is going to be fun!

[@michael5403]

Hi Stevie I am a 6000 hour jet pilot and have flown through that entire area many times and your knowledge and flying skills are so impressive, you have know your stuff flying in that area, Lots of airspace all entertwined. I love how you keep the vintage look of your airplanes, another great video, looking forward to seeing the finished results of her.

[@Mark-ll3kh]

Hi Stevie…I have been flying for 53 years all over the world in everything from a Cherokee to 747s. I still write a sheet with all the freqs and pertinent info. All the fancy navs aside it is what’s in your head that counts. Keep ‘em flying!

[@jerrylittle7797]

Girl, I love your style. The Bonanza turned out great with the retro vintage look and this will too! Thanks for saving a couple of pieces of aviation history and making them better along the way.

[@timkin4190]

Hey Stevie, thanks for another great video! You drew back the curtain a little in this flight, revealing a tiny part of what you do behind the scenes to ensure your flights are safe, smooth and (mostly) run to plan (i.e. your trip plan)! Would you share a little more of this with us in future and show us what goes in to planning a multi-leg flight, such as your one to Oshkosh? I'm sure I and others would benefit from this in our own flying and flight planning.

[@Kiwi0Six]

Lil ugly is lil cutie to me, but I grew up around antique and vintage aircraft. Glad you’re paying homage to its roots while making it modern. Looking forward to following. Its progress! BTW, I love your taste in music! Sets the mood well with all your videos.

[@danmcbride6258]

You are a very good Pilot. I am happy for you because you deserve the upgrades on your Cessna. Your trip to Oshkosh with your very new but old Aircraft will be a “Show Stopper”

[@jeremy7383]

Geez I’m always so impressed with your radio skills. I need more practice!

[@fepatton]

I still think “Lil Ugly” is beautiful, more so now that we’ve seen a flight! In my college days, I spent many hours watching planes take off and land at Gillespie. Great memories!

[@ChevyK5blazer]

I live minutes away from Gillespie Field I love watching your videos, I flew in my friends, Cessna from Gillespie Field to Paris Valley airport to do a sky dive then we flew back . pretty cool experience. Your videos are very interesting. I find myself wanting to learn what all this lingo means , I get a lot of it but I want to learn more, and that’s not a good thing with my addictive personality. That was Cool! watching you land and taxi in my neighborhood . Now I regret not going into working on Cessna’s instead of automotive. Oh well Your hobby seems a little bit out of my payroll . Props to you !Keep it up.

[@davidjose9808]

….Carbon fiber wheel pants…in the vintage “toaster style” are a must! I really liked the way my 140 was transformed by them!

[@stubryant9145]

I took my tailwheel and high performance at SEE. Always especially fun to see familiar places I haven't seen in many years. Of course always fun to see a younger pilot practice stick, rudder, and tailwheel skills. Enjoy your 140. I remember how much fun the 170 & especially the 15O TD conversion was. Taught me so much!

[@2512MaTHias]

This thing is 74 years old ??? Respect to you flying this, and congratulations! 👍

[@simflyguy]

I was once told by center "hope you packed a lunch...56 kts" and totally feel your pain :) When you see the same yellow VW Beetle on the highway below for an hour, you know its gonna be a long day. Love the plane Stevie!

[@Flacrash]

Hi there! I've been watching your videos on KZbin for a few weeks now, and they're simply fascinating. You've really inspired me, which is why I've decided to pursue the Private Pilot License. Aviation has always fascinated me, but it wasn't financially possible for me before. Greetings from switzerland

[@grahamkutner-simon8272]

What a great place to learn to fly!!!

[@djbrophy]

For as old as that airplane is, that interior looks fantastic. What a great find!

[@MattHooker]

I really appreciate that youre keeping the vintage feel of both planes as you have their panels redone!

[@pkane5472]

Grew up in Oxnard, next door to Camarillo and now live in San Diego, so love following your flights to see my old stomping grounds! Love your enthusiasm!

[@kurtkensson2059]

The "Cajon Zone." It should be nice and warm in that valley right now...

[@wespotter6985]

To get all this work done before oshkosh Is a tall order. This young lady is awesome. Totally impressive.

[@CLaFong]

As someone who grew up in the 70's & 80's in the LA basin I am always shocked to see how much the air quality has improved. Back them the only way the air wouldn't be dark brown or orange is if there were Santa Ana winds or after a winter storm.

[@skyhawk_4526]

I was a kid in the 80's but flew into the L.A. basin pretty regularly from the SF Bay Area. I remember that too. It was pretty much IMC conditions all the time due to the smog.

[@jasjas-rm9kc]

I flew into LAX for the first time in 1977. It was a clear day everywhere else, but the entire LA area was covered in a brown smog. You couldn’t see the city until you got close to the ground.

[@1006V]

Really like how you’ve kept the vintage look of these panels without sacrificing the latest greatest in avionics. Great video work too Stevie!

[@matthewmorrissey3280]

Glad to see you went tailwheel.

[@johncline7518]

Stevie, you are setting the standard for GA. Awesome job!

[@philipcollins5440]

This 1 was fun to watch. In the 90's, I used to learn how to fly out of Camaro. Keep up the good work and keep flying.

[@mellanieb2416]

I love when you take us along on your trips. Its always so fun, fresh, and educational. Thank you very much! Mellanie 'Mel' Boone I can't wait til you get your Lil Cessna finished....

[@stevemuterspaugh8821]

Super Stevie, Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. So informative and educational. You always articulate perfectly to the tower and viewers. 140 is a fun airplane and can't beat the view. Your really dropping some coin on this bird Stevie I hope you win a bunch of shows. I love seeing this come together like the Bonanza.

[@jlr3636]

Vintage- planes, cars, boats 👍 Would have loved to photographed your plane coming in or exiting Gillespie Field…. Have fun

[@bbyrd130]

Oh wow the panel looks SO GOOD in the sneak peek!!! Love the silver outlined instruments and the cream dash looks so good. Love that you kept the old school airspeed indicator too! I can’t wait to see the whole thing bc I want get a 140 and update it to something similar to this as well

[@danieloberdanner9809]

Thank you taking us on this trip! This will be a beautiful Plane again. And the first view on the instruments was amazing! Best from Switzerland. Daniel

[@chuckmortensen6327]

Small world. You mentioned Santa Maria. I grew up there. Then it was the perfect place to grow up. Good people, fantastic weather and avila was a great beach.

[@milesj6064]

That is great to seeing you upgrading the airplane to make it look more modern but feel old school. Can't wait to see the new paint and interior as well as seeing the new panel in action. Thanks for bringing us along on this journey, and since you should be leaving for Oshkosh soon, have a safe trip

[@nickwulf]

The rear view camera is such a great idea!

[@two-takt]

we always walk on the edge, the aircraft technician and the pilot of the aircraft hugged you tightly, lifted you up, threw you up and caught you😘

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

I used to live down the street from Gillespie. Can't wait to see lil ugly with all her upgrades! Hope all is well Stevie!

[@Kotv6Vfg1]

This was a lot of fun...Lil Ugly is a beautiful plane which is lucky to have you as it's owner.

[@phatkid6811]

Brilliant video. Editing and content - superior. And your flying; situational awareness, mission planning, and radio procedures = Excellent. (USAF EP, Retired).

[@justaguy2356]

This is so impressive! Love the updates!

[@sinjon]

Lil Ugly is going to look so good! It already does. Cannot wait to see the new paint scheme. Really like the color of the new panel and the chrome around the gauges

[@SamSam-ip7pj]

Your radio skills are amazing, wow✈✈✈✈✈✈✈✈

[@maxplanck9055]

Its nice to see your excitement and enthusiasm for flying and see you enjoy your adventures, your cheerful personality is engaging ✌️♥️🇬🇧 much love Stevie,stay happy and safe.

[@naturallymarisa]

So excited to see the finished reno!

[@PilotDiggerdavid]

Great video! Thanks for the time and effort you go through to do all of this!

[@justflylow]

I love watching your videos! And your radio work is amazing! You are so fluid talking to ATC and switching frequencies. This little airplane is going to be beautiful!❤️

[@leokimvideo]

I watched this video last in the series of 3 videos and that really had me noticing all the 'old plane' issues with this aircraft. It's really an ugly duckling here and Stevie restores her into a beautiful Swan. In fact the restoration completely transforms the aircraft and resets it back to looking very classic with modern avionics and lighting.

[@Bill-ct1fk]

Loving these videos!! Can’t wait for the finished product!

[@sheilagiles3333]

So exciting! Can’t wait for the final transformation.🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

[@user-wg1ed5lc8u]

It's so exciting and relaxing at the same time to watch. Thank you!

[@Garythefireman66]

Great video Stevie. Can't wait to see the finished product

[@wyntje83]

really loving the outside camera angle! you've done a great job on placement showing the plane, prop and some landscape. also this plane has some real character, I like the old school yoke.

[@socalfun64]

Enjoyed the video. Back in the day (90’s), I had a 69 C-150J. Because of the age of the avionics, I carried a handheld radio with VOR for weather and backup. Sure enough, coming home one time through the Van Nuys pass, I lost Comms. I could hear them, but they couldn’t hear me. The backup handheld came in clutch to get me over LAX Special Flight Rules Corridor and down into TOA. Ahhh, the good old days, lol.

[@kwittnebel]

Great comment. Probably a bit less likely with newer Garmin stuff, but a friend lost coms coming into SMO the other day and after hearing that story I ordered a handheld. It is really handy for monitoring radios on the ground etc.

[@smartbody2456]

Your enthusiasm gots me going can’t wait to see the finished product!

[@vanallen9453]

..way to go..little Stevie-o..and please..keep em coming..

[@skypilot7103]

Stevie. Thank you for sharing your Love of aviation with all of us!

[@BaileyBice]

love that your in your posting era I live for your videos!

[@JosephWestra]

Love your videos. All cameras are in great spots on the plane for great viewing. You make the radio work look easy, but I know it takes a lot of patience and practice. You're awesome. I wish I could fly!

[@winky32174]

Can't wait to see the transformation!

[@stevecastro22]

It sounds like you have given all of the changes considerable thought and we are excited to see the finished product. Thanks so much for sharing these great videos with us.

[@HiPockets]

Inspired by your confident competence. You always know exactly what you’re doing. Love watching your fights.

[@jersincl]

I'm excited to see the upgrades and how they function. Thanks again !

[@Allnightexplor]

Great to end my week with a Stevie flying video! I really want to see both planes in Beatrice on your way to Oscosh!

[@netwiseca]

I've been around aircraft for... years... and years... a long time a go as a kid, I used to go to our local airport where an aircraft boneyard was maintained... I played for hours in an old Lancaster among other planes from bygone eras... years later, as an air cadet, I flew gliders, but never took the leap to get my full pilot's license... instead, I scratched the itch with R/C (pattern aerobatics) and ultralight. I got back into aircraft for a bit as a communications director at the local Airshow we hosted (at the same field as the long gone boneyard)... watching your videos Stevie, damn... I'm inclined to go for it and get my full license. At one point, I almost pulled the trigger with an Air Canada pilot in a co-ownership. He was a certified instructor, which was a good thing... but the co-share was a Pitts S2A! Yeah... NO! So... here I am, really enjoying your escapades with 'lil Ugly and your Bonanza! I'm looking forward to the re-paint and full reveal of the avionics on your way to Oshkosh! What a blast! Thanks again for sharing your journey!

[@chiptaylor1124]

Second video and already love this channel. Thank you, Stevie!

[@rubenroybal2890]

How exciting, nothing like fresh avionics in a vintage plane.

[@davidevans7253]

Love flying with you Stevie! Very excited to watch the transformation of the 140A.

[@alrad5686]

The little 140 is going to be really sharp after its makeover! Good luck Stevie!

[@bayflight]

Thank you so much!

[@murlitodi919]

Amazing to see a 1949 Cessna aircraft..Working so well...❤

[@garyhinchey4086]

Thanks Stevie, such a great series, my first flight ever was in a Taylor craft, will never forget it

[@MyaFlys]

You are such an inspiration and I always look forward to your videos! 🥰🫶🏻

[@fabio_flying]

Can’t wait to see how the Cessna will look like. Great videos.

[@patrickcreath217]

Hi awesome Aviator! I'm excited for you!❤

[@PDLM1221]

I love your planning before the flight,and I can’t wait to see the finished upgrades . I hope the engine is going to be looked at unless it’s already been addressed before you purchased and it’s all good , it seems to not be an issue and running good.

[@edwardstephens247]

Can't wait to see the finished product!

[@VincentGroenewold]

The trim wheel looks super cute, awesome plane!

[@rodholm1395]

You are a good pilot, I like all the prep you do to insure there are no surprises!

[@RestorativeRenaissance]

You have a new plane!! 😍 Your videos make me smile from ear to ear 😊.

[@jonplante7589]

So fun to watch! I know nothing about airplanes and flying so this is extra cool.

[@ttesheba]

I can't wait to see the great job of restoring and updating this classic tail skate. Greetings from Argentina.

[@jorgejefferson8251]

I can't wait to see the interior and exterior upgrades and renovations.

[@seaspirit5087]

The two lovely aircraft are so cute in their own unique way. Stevie enjoy all the adventures ahead on the 140 and Bonanza can see you absolutely ❤ your aircraft 🎉

[@slappomatthew]

I love the vibe of your channel so chill and upbeat.

[@bossdriver6443]

I love that you're making content again. I can't wait to see all the adventures!!! I also love the tan cream color you went with. Can't wait to see the finished product!!!

Spoiling us with all these great videos close together! Hope that means more content. Great videos and thanks for your passion for aviation!

[@maxf416]

Great to see the new videos! Fun new plane too.

[@istvanbally2817]

Can't wait to see the whole upgrade! Judging by the sneak peak, things are looking pretty awesome. And Garmin avionics are amazing.

[@slayer6936]

I can not wait to see the finished product!!!

[@roberthilliard4833]

What a fabulous video, I just love your enthusiasm and happiness over the C140 and its renovation and improvements. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment!

[@heaven-is-real]

Stevie you are inspirational to follow your dreams.

[@HyphenDude]

1. I love your love for classic aircraft. It makes me so happy when I see you flying them. 2. I really enjoy watching you pilot. You style just makes me smile every time I get to watch one of your videos. 3. Thanks for the regular posts. I, as I am sure others, appreciate watching them. I did some IT consulting many years ago in Ontario, California. Flew in and out of that airport every weekend for a solid 9 months. Neat area around there.

[@dennispitz7488]

I love this. You are rejuvenating an airplane that is the same age as me😊.
