Flying to Sun N Fun 2024 in my 1954 Cessna 170B

Join me on a flight from Hedgesville, WV to Lakeland, FL for Sun N Fun 2024. I am flying my 1954 Cessna 170B to Florida and camping under the wing in my tent for several days. While at Sun N Fun I filmed the Air Show, the STOL Demonstration and more. I was fortunate enough to land on the Paradise City Grass Strip at Lakeland to join those in the Bushwheels Basecamp!!!

Small world. Met you at ACME Aero flyin last year ( or the year before? ) and was at SunNFun this year. I was at the ultralight field ( mid-field ) when you took off to fly home. I looked over my shoulder and saw this beautiful Grey/Black/White C170 launching and smiled to myself... hey, I know that guy. Thanks for sharing Kevin.

[@KevinRudisill]

No way, that’s awesome! Yea the ACME fly-in was fun, hoping to get back to that!

[@KTWardlaw]

Great job! Congrats on a Sweet 170😎👍🏼

[@KevinRudisill]

Thanks! Yes it’s definitely the plane I wanted, all the hard work is paying off.

[@Bearhawk_Life]

Great Video, and never too long when planes are involved

[@KevinRudisill]

Thanks! You got that right 🙌🏻

[@boogerwood]

Enjoyed the adventure. Perfect length video. I tend to skip short videos.

[@KevinRudisill]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

I live next to RDU. Nice flight! I grew up in Harnett County. Didn't know they had such a nice FBO. Will check it out on Sunday after church

[@KevinRudisill]

Yea, that’s not far for you at all. It’s really nice, you definitely should!

[@TimothyBiggs-hw8bc]

Nice looking plane. My dream plane...

[@TimothyBiggs-hw8bc]

I think it had a STOL cuff also but could not see for sure...

[@KevinRudisill]

Thank you! It’s such a good plane for my type of flying!

[@TimothyBiggs-hw8bc]

What sort of upgrades do you have? I can see some of them.

[@TimothyBiggs-hw8bc]

Sorry, did not realize you answered that question above.

[@swiftadventurer]

nice show; don't ask me how I know. 😉

[@KevinRudisill]

Haha!!! It was awesome!!!! I was torn between watching or filming.

[@KTWardlaw]

Good for you!! 😎👍🏼

[@KevinRudisill]

Thanks, it was a fun trip!

[@MonostripeZebra]

Very nice.. happy landings!

[@KevinRudisill]

Thanks! You too!

[@truckpilotnate2972]

Looked like a cool trip. I’d love to see a review of your lightweight gear for airplane camping

[@KevinRudisill]

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind, that would be a cool video, I have definitely refined the gear over the years, and it really helped out this summer in Montana!

[@TimothyBiggs-hw8bc]

Liked the video! I could see VG's, drooped wingtips, big tires... What else have you done? Looks great! 👍👍👍

[@KevinRudisill]

Yes it has the sportsman stol kit & the Stoots IO-370 STC w/ 83” C/S prop.

[@TimothyBiggs-hw8bc]

@@KevinRudisill Wow! Great Stuff! All the best to you and yours!
