I loved your opening to this video. I spent 4 years at UD majoring in Aviation many years ago.

Thank you Chris! I thought it was pretty cool too. I enjoyed making it. I attended the U also and ended up flying a king air 200-300 based in DBQ. Hope you achieve your flying goals.

Nice! Aircraft ownership was fun. I wish I still had my piper warrior. I can't believe the cost of used aircraft now, even the cost of airplane rental was $45 an hour wet when I learned, and now I’m seeing prices of 175 dry for a fourplace. I can’t see how young person can afford to fly the minimum hours to get themselves into a aviation career.. enjoy your spring weather.-Bill

As for the Massey Ferguson, really like the older ones. First tractor I learned to drive on my uncle’s farm. Love the look of the old 1100, 1150, 1155. Thanks for the entertaining video! Josh from northwestern Ohio!

That treadle pedal you looked at is I believe only on the Grand L60 series the other Kabota tractors the treadle pedal is a lot bigger… a cross between a skateboard and a boomerang I say. lol I’m not a fan! The one you looked at, I could get used to 👍

I bought my 1976 cessna 180J in 1982 for 25,000 dollars and I see today it is worth between 150,00 to 200,000 dollars. Keep the videos coming Bill, second life after aviation.

Bill at this point, you can just do a teaser video on what's to come in front of the helicopter! That would be so satisfying to me! 😅
