My Airplane is Old Enough to be in This Museum! (Golden Age Flight Museum)

[@florian_thrash]

Came here from the guitar MAX channel, that was surprisingly very cool!

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Thanks!

[@atb1325]

Thanks for taking us along for the flight Max. Enjoyed the flight and the museum!

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@3fingeredfrank]

Max, vintage planes, cars, bikes and Rock n' Roll! Outstanding!

[@1965niles]

Nice!!! I have been waiting on this video of you flying the Chief

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Thanks! More to come with this plane!

[@jgttx]

Wow! Spinning your own propeller. That's hard core. Loved the video!!

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@QMAXIMUS]

Great video Max. The flight museum was awesome. Thumbs up of course! 👍

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Thanks a lot!

[@GeneWalkGroup]

Nice hand propping! I almost shit myself the first time I hand propped a plane !

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Yes, I still use the "swing and run for your life" technique!

Keep a check on the sheet metal on older planes. My Dad was in charge of testing for the F 16. He said after he retired at age 75. Most commercial airlines are not doing required flex and age testing. He said aluminum flexes with every flight and can only flex so many times before test need to be made for structural weakness. He is gone now but I remember his words. Fly safe!! Love your videos!!

Thanks for the nice tour, Max. I flew my 79 Archer today. Really, only the second time I've been in the air since early July. We went back to the midwest to go to the Oshkosh Airshow, which was really great! As always! Unfortunately, I've had some storm damage to my beautiful plane. Something dented and bent the rudder. Then, a big storm blew a 6 foot long box up and under my right wing, puncturing the right wheel pant. )-: Going to be very expensive to repair... I also had my two magnetos rebuilt and something is not quite right with them either. Welcome to aviation!!

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Ouch! So sorry to hear that. That kind of damage scares me! You didn't even do anything, it just got damaged on its own!

[@Jackie_Rosewood]

Such a cool trip👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@retropuffer2986]

What a great trip.

[@Brian.Turner873]

At 12:46, I was like oh no, Shred Max is going to rip the propeller off! 💪🤣 Great footage, love the intro music

[@erichetherington9899]

That Harley is exactly the same kind of motorcycle what my grandpa, Red Hetherington, used to use to go deliver the US Postal Mail in the 1930's era riding from Denver Colorado up to Georgetown Colorado. Wearing just a backpack w saddlebags on his Harley, running on a gravel road "(I-70)" now all the way from Denver to Georgetown! :) Thank you Heavy Metal and the (Golden Age Flight Museum) nice memories indeed. likes here :)

[@mikem9006]

Great video, editing is superb. I fell like l am in flying in the plane. Thank you!!!

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Awesome, thank you!

[@dan8402]

To be truthful any day is a good day to be in the air! That plane looks awesome!

[@ScottysAnimals]

That was a fun adventure. Beautiful scenery and friendly folks. The radio audio makes it super fun

[@JamesGood]

Great video, glad to see the Chief in the air! I've been through TSP many times, will have to look for that museum next time. Good internal camera locations. Will look forward to your 'how to be non-electric over LA' video!

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Thanks! Right now, the museum is open on the 2nd Saturday of each month, 10am-2pm. Hopefully they can expand the hours. We should get together soon!

[@Laurgal5]

Oh, Max! I am so happy I found this channel!! I love your Chief and the wood instrument panel is awesome,! Thanks for the tour of the Golden Age museum - the Vultee looks amazing! Harleys are beloved by me, so awesome to see one that old! Thank you for the camera work showing both inside and outside - nice landings!! I look forward to more and this is being shared with a few aero nuts I know.....

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Awesome! Thank you! And welcome aboard.

[@TheVersatileMindMedia]

Excellent, always love seeing the past avaition era, and that many have been restored to flying status!

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Same here! I love that they are keeping these planes in the air.

[@txkflier]

At 6:05, you don't have one hand on the yoke and one on the throttle.. 😎

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

It takes a surprising amount of force to get the yoke all the way back on this!

[@txkflier]

@@HeavyMetalHorizons I flew Cessna 150’s, but never flew any old taildraggers. It appears that the elevator on a Chief is pretty large and isn’t aerodynamically balanced, plus the yoke setup probably doesn’t give you the leverage that a stick would. I have ridden in an Aeronca Champ and was surprised at the amount of elevator it needed during takeoff and landing.

[@Durandalski]

Working on my ppl right now. I have my eye on those Chiefs and Taylorcrafts as a viable airplane to own in the future. For someone just looking to experience flying they’re about the most affordable way to own an airplane and have the freedom to fly when you want.

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Congrats on your progress so far! Chiefs / Champs, Taylorcrafts, Luscombes, and perhaps Ercoupes are all pretty good, relatively affordable options!

[@KevinNichols-eo7yt]

Congrats Max, love this bird. New to your channel, looking forward to all your topics!

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Awesome, thank you!

[@2dazetake]

What a beautiful little airport and site, nothing like seeing California from the air,and seeing what whet up in the same sky at one time, thanks for the ride Maxx.

[@CarlosRodriguez-hw3nt]

Aw man you have a door on the left side, so lucky.

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Yes! It's a luxury.

[@larryking4819]
