Give way to the Cardinal…. Unreal taxi instructions, great job!!!

[@greggaynor8169]

Hi Ted! 70 y.o. student pilot here. Been flying a Piper Archer (30 hrs.) until today. My instructor (CFI and Nashville country singer Aaron Tippin) just got a ‘68 Cardinal. I had so much fun flying it. Much easier to get trimmed and she flies all by herself. Back up in the air tomorrow morning. Can’t wait. I’ll solo once I can consistently land the Cardinal. Thanks for all the support you give us old guys!

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

Absolutely!!! That is awesome!!! Congratulations!!! Thanks for watching!

"Give way to the.. uhh.. Cardinal".... That was Epic!!! Awesome video. Can't wait to try that, but my closest Class B is ATL... Ugh.

[@NowSmile4TheCamera]

That was super-fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@thomaswells3352]

"Give way to the Cardinal"...lol....such respect! Wow! Nice video! Handled it like a pro!

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

Glad you liked it!

[@RyanVoight]

Nice one! You handled that great, particularly not getting too stressed or rushed. I really liked when you asked where Q4 was. Thanks for the vid!

[@Aviatorpeck1957]

Great job!!

[@markoni978]

Very entartaining. Good job handling all this.

[@DonBurke1]

So great to watch you as a pilot. I would fly with you anytime and I don't say that lightly as I've had enough odd experiences in airplanes to make me warry of flying in small aircraft.

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

Thanks !!! We will go flying when you come down here !

[@PhotographyEnthusiast]

That's the best road trip video I have seen in ages 🤣🤣. LOL “well, they're not burning 8 gallons per hour”, true, but i am secretly jelious though 😉

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Ellexis]

Those “Mobile Lounge” vehicles are unique to Dulles. At least I haven’t seen them anywhere else.

[@RusscanFLY]

Wow!

[@marksill8020]

So, what happened when you got back to FL? Did you have that mag checked? Didn't you just have them both replaced not too long ago 🤔?

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

I had it checked out immediately when I landed back in Maryland and it turned out to be a loose grounding wire just a little bug to be shaken off after a complete engine overhaul and thank goodness it was not anything more than that! Thanks for watching!

Do all GA planes fly into Signature flight services? Looking to fly into DC in the spring.

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

Pretty much - At Dulles there’s only one FBO that you can go to another airports there are several different outfits available but at Dulles there’s only one. Just check the airport information diagram before you leave and know where you’re going to go. Also feel free to give them a call because they’re very helpful and will walk you through the process from everything from aircraft handling to fuel costs and services they have available. Thanks for watching!

@@Over50andLearningToFly Thanks for the info

[@daviddefelice6997]

Do you fly with an iPad and Foreflight or some other app? They would have really helped you find your way around the airport while taxiing. They geo-reference your plane on the ground. Once you get your taxi instructions, you can draw your route on the iPad and just follow the line.

[@Over50andLearningToFly]

Yes - I have ForeFlight and e airport diagram right on the left hand side … it was all pulled up - thanks for watching!
