Flying to Lake Havasu | Cessna 172 Flight Vlog

[@motorcopjoe]

From now until I leave this world, every time I go wheels up in my 172 I will think of Tim and Joy with a smile. Godspeed you 2.

[@leadpan]

RIP tim and joy... loved your swing music at Disneyland

Pro trick : watch movies at Kaldrostream. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

RIP. Such a loss of two beautiful souls

[@JoeJoe-zw7ou]

Lost 2 kind souls . God speed you two, where ever you have gone, may god be with you .

[@ragzpar]

Lake Havasu is a special place for me. Did my first ever cross country solo to there when I was a student pilot. Great making of this video. Brought back good memories. RIP Tango n Juliet.

[@georgesheptak5657]

Such a lovely couple, you can tell they absolutely adore each other. I always shed a tear every vid I watch of their Journeys. Such a tragedy. RIP my friends.

[@TheFretman2]

I've seen a couple of references to a tragedy regarding this couple. What's happened???

[@RobtheAviator]

@@TheFretman2They passed away in the Cessna 140 due to spatial disorientation on a dark night in Arizona some year back.

[@TheFretman2]

Too bad...lovely couple. @@RobtheAviator

Godspeed. Now, You're At the Summit. Rest in Heavenly Peace.

[@TheFlyingStampede]

The answer is always tailwheel!! 😁 Just like automatic vs manual, manual every time! Fun flight and camping, thanks for sharing!

[@greg1268]

I’m not a pilot but i was thinking the same thing about manual vs. automatic. Tango said something about tailwheel keeping you more engaged (I think) and I thought I wonder if it’s like manual vs. automatic?

[@TheFlyingStampede]

@@greg1268 It definitely does. I love driving manual because it keeps me on my toes at all times and I feel like I have more control, especially on the snowy roads here in Wisconsin. Tailwheel flying is similar because it forces you to really use those rudder pedals especially on takeoff and landing. You are always on your toes from the minute you start up to the moment you shut down. My Pacer is notorious for being squirrley on the ground, but that is what drives me to never being complacent in any phase of flight.

[@TangoandJuliet]

Tailwheel flying opens the doors to some really cool airplanes as well. Definitely more challenging and rewarding to fly, plus backcountry utility is a huge plus for us.

[@rinzler9775]

Once you learn the true power of the tail wheel, you cant go back

[@michaelrodgers9419]

RIP. So sad to hear of your accident..

[@FlyingJournalism]

Lake havasu is a great flight

[@outnside0813]

Nice video, camping trips are the best...with coffee!!😉😁👊

[@TangoandJuliet]

Always...always with coffee!!! ☕️

[@YouTuber-ep5xx]

Sad what happened. Rise each morn and enjoy each day best you can.

[@PInk77W1]

They crashed and died by flagstaff az

[@Quegi-mp1pw]

Lived in LHC for 5yrs in late 80s back when it only had one traffic light. Great place. I always described it like mini Ft Lauderdale on Spring Break. We would close the bars the take the boats up the river to Bullhead. Next day we would be back on the boats at Copper Canyon.

[@RT10Viperman]

Im truely gonna miss you guys...RIP Tim and Joy

[@marsdirt]

What a fun adventure! It was great meeting you guys yesterday. On the tailwheel vs tricycle debate, you can probably guess where my preferences lie. ;-)

[@TangoandJuliet]

Thanks Greg! It was fun meeting you and drooling over your C170!

[@pittss2c601]

Almost all GA aircraft are underpowered especially in the high mountains in the west. A Continental 85 h.p. does not make 85 hp unless it is new (fresh & tight) and at sea level. You are lucky to get 50-70 hp. At their elevation and density altitude it is a recipe for disaster. I've been all over that area and it is beautiful. Many of the local airports are ~7,000 ft elevation. Way too high for a small carburetor engine especially on a hot day. Their last moments must have been terrifying.

[@rinzler9775]

Density altutude.

[@neilsingh5311]

Per the final report, the only consolation is that actually did not likely experience much or any terror. Tim experienced spatial disorientation in night conditions, spiraled, and crashed. They had GoPros running and zero human sounds were made after impact-meaning they were instantly killed. May these beautiful souls rest in peace. May we as pilots learn what we can from their loss. Fly safely folks.

[@chuck_in_socal]

Tail wheel is definitely better for off airport, but there are a ton of off airport destinations you can do with a nose dragger. Sooner or later if you want to go faster you’ll be looking at some nose draggers.

[@FlyingJournalism]

I go off airport all the time in the 150.. so far no damage!👍👍🍹

[@fredscott4859]

Tailwheel, my grandfather is just finishing his Pietenpol!

[@behindthespotlight7983]

No man knows the hour of his time. These two exude something special and all one needs to do is read the other comments to see the positive impact they had on others. I sincerely hope & pray that their spiritual houses were in order. Blessings to those they left behind and blessings to all who read this ✈️💔

[@cindymcguine5688]

Good to know that you can rent cars in Havasu.

[@TangoandJuliet]

Definitely! We went with a company called Turo which fit more to our schedule. If you go with other car rental places be sure to check their hours of operation, as most of them close super early in the afternoon like 12noon and 2pm. If you ever need the guys we used we’d be happy to share his info. Super nice guy! 😊

[@chrism3872]

I own two tailwheel airplanes, and I like the challenge of course, but there is a pleasure in flying something that most pilots do not fly, or perhaps even care to. Also, it is possible to go places that one cannot in a tricycle gear airplane, not to mention the "fun factor..."

[@greg1268]

How come you can’t put a GoPro on the outside of the Cessna but you can on the pietenpol? And you two are SOO cute together!!!! It really seems like you guys have found your soulmates.

[@TangoandJuliet]

This Cessna belongs to a Flight Club...and their rules say no GoPros mounted on the outside! Oh well. And we agree...we definitely are grateful to be soulmates :)

[@eskimomosul7132]

Not aware of Tim and Joy's demise.. What ,when ? Sad indeed such anice flying couple .

Looks like Montgomery Field?

You got it!

May God rest their souls...

[@goodtalker]

I am new to these two people and I understand they perished recently in a crash. Does anyone know where they were employed? Tim looks familiar to me.

[@scottallen2190]

Tim was a musician. www.timgillmusic.com
