Vintage Aircraft Ad:10 - Comanche

[@Palmit_]

1:15 - "...for the pilot that going places" (image) holy fuck my sides split.. bastard! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@drakeforce8937]

Same here I'm still laughing as I'm trying this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mdickinson]

Yeah, I was wi seeing - Who was the person in that image? (For those of us who didn’t get the joke)

[@Thaddeus.N]

How did they put a window crank from a 1972 Ford Torino in a “1961” Comanche? Goes to show, it really was ahead of its time.

[@craigmclean8260]

It flies so fast, it warps the timeline!

[@Cass256]

This is the most accurate ad ever, as a new '61 Comanche 250 owner & I can confirm everything here is 110% true

[@MidnightMechanic]

Looks more roomy than a Mooney, why haven't I ever heard of this plane?? I'm hoping they're still building them, with modern avionics to boot!

[@fatherdaughterflights346]

But do you have toes? Or no?

[@brianlott7571]

@@MidnightMechanic Unlike the Mooneys, the Comanche airframe was completely zinc chromated at the factory.

[@mdickinson]

@@MidnightMechanic Sorry to say that they built the last one in 1972. They are, however, available secondhand.

[@MidnightMechanic]

@@mdickinson pretty much that's the only way to buy a plane these days, unless you pre-order a prototype! The old reliable airframes aren't in production anymore!

[@morthomer5804]

Correction: the Comanche trim handle was used as a window crank in the Torino.

[@valkyriesride129]

"It has a thousand parts that are all mad at each other! " 😆

[@MarkHeckler]

So much goodness in this one, especially 😂😂 1. Dan. Poor Dan. 2. So much Bonanza shade 3. Travis "Bailout" Jacobs 4. ADs 5. Toes optional! And so much more. Brilliant, Bryan. 😄

[@n1msu]

Absolutey fantastic! I actually read the 1959 sales brochure yesterday, This video is a parody of course but it's not actually that different to the marketing haha.

[@warrenprice2137]

Wow! I gotta hand to you. You did it again. Your aircraft advertisements have all been great, but I haven't laughed this hard since the MOONEY episode. I had to watch both twice again just to make sure, but I'm still gonna give my number 1 to the Mooney Ad. The Comanche ad comes in at a VERY close second for me.... Oh shit, this was funny. Gotta love the indiosycricies in all these old airplanes we know and love. Keep up the great work!! It's Comanche time, BABY!

[@JustPlaneSilly]

I like the Mooney one as well but everyone said I had to never use that voice again :(

[@adamdobrzanski6631]

The Mooney voice was my favorite. I still play it in my head when I see a Moooooooney

[@warrenprice2137]

I love that voice and have lamented that it only showed up once.... "Tail's on backwards. You know what that means... Moooooooney......."

[@brianb5594]

The Mooney one was the best. DONUTS!! Yeah, that’s right baby! If the tail is a rocking, don’t come a knocking baby! 😂😂

[@TedsGarage]

This is your best one yet, Bryan. But you forgot to mention the other key material used in the landing gear: Unobtainium

[@neillthornton1149]

The more ADs... the more Airworthy! Definitely stealing that line....

[@travisminneapolis]

But does it come with color matching parachutes?

[@judyhopkin5106]

Dear Bryan, as a first time commenter but a long time subscriber, I just had to say that this killed me with laughter. Thanks, Judy Hopkin

[@monte01232003]

Pure gold! My favorite ad so far! After spending the last 2 days going through all the AD’s for my new to me airplane, seeing your stack of AD’s made me fee a ton better. 😜

[@ssairshows]

I LOVE ADs...and you will too!

[@Maverick_1b]

As a new Comanche owner that is currently going through a landing gear rebuild...the spaghetti noodles, glass and hope bit hit really close to home...

[@dougdraper4892]

You had me at 'manual transmissoin'. Congratulations on the new member of your family.

[@tomkinsey4195]

This is my favorite series you do. I was rolling with laughter.

[@truckpilotnate2972]

You raced the Wong Warrior. Now it’s time to race Martin Pauly and 70TB!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍😂😂

[@craigmclean8260]

Glad to see this is the stick-shift version...the "Gear Up" light serves as your upshift indicator, for better fuel economy...but no clutch pedal? Maybe it's like the old Volkswagen "Automatic StickShift"!

[@JSBIRD69]

I have three Comanche 250 owner friends. One guy owns 3!! I'll make sure they all see this.

[@askmehowiknow3571]

We have owned a 260 for about 7 years now and LOVE that bird!! Great videos!! Keep ‘‘em coming.

[@peteranderson037]

So what I'm getting from this is the Comanche 250 is equal parts instant buyers remorse and GOTTA GO FAST! (when it's not down for maintenance).

[@FlyingNDriving]

Hell yeah, Im glad this is finally here! Late Christmas present but I'll take it

[@quinnjim]

The gear is controlled by a little toggle switch? You could always glue a little wheel to it...

[@ExperimentalAdventure]

It’s awesome to have a good chuckle from time-to-time! Great job with this ad!

[@FlyChuckyFly]

Great vintage ad Bryan! Love the stick shift and flap bicep workout plan. No slowing that baby down.

[@marshallgorski5108]

love the landing gear bit

[@eracer1111]

As the proud owner of a Comanche 250 (by A2A Simulations) I laughed. It's an awesome plane in MSFS, and even more awesome in this hilarious video.

[@ollyalme]

"Put together by a 1000 parts that all hate each other"!!! I died a little bit.

[@RR-kl6sl]

Hahah amazing !! Thank you so much for putting this up :D !!

[@mothmagic1]

Must say adding the extra windows made a great improvement to its looks. That was incorrect, ADs are normally issued to solve problems.

[@HblockFlightServices]

I pimped mine out with a Lopristi speed kit and eliminated the big ADs and now have a fantastic plane

[@brianb5594]

That overhead trim is something else. 😂😂

[@krabman22]

Fantastic as always Bryan, keep them coming! And congrats on the comanche, she is a good ship

[@rodsvin7185]

Best Airplane Vintage Ad EVER🤣🤣

[@WolfPilot]

That's because it's his airplane and he can make as much fun of it as possible and not hurt the owners feelings

[@1dullgeek]

So for real though, what is the "manual transmission" at 1:43? It's not flaps, gear, or trim. But I don't know what it actually is. Maybe the manual gear extension?

[@Kevlux86]

Exactly correct!

[@kevincollins8014]

@@Kevlux86 it's to pump the wings like a bird in case of an engine out over the mountains. 😆

[@JustPlaneSilly]

Yeah, Manual gear extension.

[@kevincollins8014]

I spat my breakfast all over the place when I seen Trevor! These are great keep em coming. I look forward to the many options of the Comanche. Onboard coffee maker, microwave, toilet and maybe full skydiving harnesses for all your passengers because nobody should fly without it. You just never know when you might lose those 250 horses😆

[@avflyguy]

Very clever. Funny and spot on! Still think the PA24 series is the best looking plane ever made - even to this day - gorgeous lines. A new paint job and they'd all look like brand new off the line aircraft. Make sure to join the Commanche forums and/or ICS. A good comanche A&P is vital.

[@michaelfortunato3117]

[@GaryMCurran]

Great! I'm glad you could spoof your own airplane. Had to love Dan at the beginning. Surprised you didn't get Christie's Wong Warrior in there, too. I wish I had the money to help you pay for a complete refurbishment for that airplane, it has a lot of charm and potential. I am looking forward to further videos!

[@JustPlaneSilly]

I hear you. I am putting together a list in Excel right now of Big things, small things, things I can do myself, and I am going to start saving for the big things. I ma currently repairing some tears in the vinyl on the front seats. It is solid and airworthy, just has a lot of cosmetic things that I need to address over time. I have been slowly polishing the paint and it is coming back to life. I have a local guy on the field that is going to help me touch up some spots where it is chipped.

“Built for the pilot that’s going places!” *Shows picture of Trevor Jacob* 😂

[@robdotcom71]

That was awesome... I think there will be a rush on people going out and buying Comanches now....

[@MichaelOnines]

It's just a ploy for his flip-it series he is working on behind the scenes. Buy a plane, hype it up, sell for a hefty markup and on to the next one. I think he is taking skydiving instructions in case he can't flip it for a profit - then he can just take it up for an unexpected engine failure and bail out. He recently flipped the grumman he did an ad spot on. Took time to move it, though, so I thought it might wind up as a cornfield crater in the Texas cotton belt.

[@robdotcom71]

@@MichaelOnines Funny you mention that... I heard the Discovery Channel is reviving their "Dangerous Flights" series and instead of it being about C.B Aviation and it's ferry pilots it's just going to be Bryan (with a Y) flying his Comanche.....

You forgot to mention that the Bonanza has fewer pieces on the tail and that they had a tendency to not stick around.

[@chriswalton720]

Trevor Jacob: the Comanche has so much rear seat room, you’ll be comfortable wearing your parachute AND fire extinguishers shoved in your pant legs!

[@johnarmstrong4758]

To know one is to love it.

[@thomasleahy3767]

I forget the checklist for this plane. Is this also a plane where you parachute out of then when you are safely at home you read the list?

[@f.d.miller3903]

But can you remove your vertical stabilizer, and bend your horizontal stabilizers into a V on your 250? NO, no you can't. That makes the Banana the safest plane ever! Well unless your a Doctor. Nice video Bryan with a Y. I enjoyed.

[@jameshyatte7230]

With all those AD's , It's like "ok our plane idea wasn't great, we didn't spare all expenses you got us there" but man she is fast and more affordable than Bonanza's! AD could stand for: American Dinero , Airworthiness Disturbing? That is a lot of AD's!!!

[@BlessedtoFly]

Will be sending you the bill for getting my ass reattached. Laughed it right off. Real humor is based on some truth. You still missed a couple good ones. Maybe enough for part deux. Bryan, we talked at OSH after Martins video presentation about Comanches. I’m the Comanche 180 driver. Enjoy the new ride (and the ADs). Hope to meet up again. My ceiling is 18k. Wave to me on your way up to 22,000 feet (better get the rocket assist option)

[@Flyer210]

Love it!

[@chriswalton720]

The plentiful vents are obviously necessary to clear the cabin of all that cigarette smoke.

[@sirtraineewhat576]

But is the backseat big enough for a family of four? Nevermind watched the rest. The baggage compartment can fit a full sized AA5, by extension can also fit an entire family of four

[@projekt6_official]

"TOES!" LMAO!

[@wikun110]

HILARIOUS!!!!

[@dutchygirl]

Nice ad, but it seems a bit too positive for a one door plane. I'm surprised it (still) has air in the tires, as that place looks familiar. I liked the leg room. How many adult octopuses will fit on the back seat? Those guys have some legs! Not sure if they have tows, but imho octopuses should never ride along in the front seat.

[@scottfranco1962]

So you got the plane home, congratulations. Now you can expect to hear from everyone telling you you HAVE to have a fully enclosed hangar (mostly from people whose wives won't let them buy ANY airplane).

[@JustPlaneSilly]

I have learned in aviation, if you say anything about any plane and People will start telling what you need to do or why the airplane you are interested in is a bad choice. pilots are weird like that. I have been in an open T hanger for ~9 years. No issues other than having to clean the dust off more frequently.

[@scottfranco1962]

@@JustPlaneSilly I'd kill for any type of covered tiedown. Here it costs $375 per month, and forget about covered hangars. At RHV they are actively trying to shut down the airport, and are doing it by figuring out new ways to bother the pilots here, since the FAA won't let them shut the airport by normal means.

[@mattf49006]

if it had the Grumman canopy STC it'd be easier to bail out

[@mvonsmallhausen3221]

Timmy looks quite familiar, can't put my finger on it though. By the way, could you do the Cirrus walk around again? It's been some time and I'm not sure if remember everything. It's not that I fly one but every once in a while a Cirrus owner walks up to me and asks if I can help them out.

[@av8ir68]

That was nothing short of hilarious!!! I love your sense of humor!!! 😂😂😂 Have a stellar day!!! Hmmm.. Let me see!!! Smoking and 22,000 feet might not be a good idea if your Comanche can actually get there!!!! LOL!!!!

[@MarkFerraretto]

Bryan, off-topic but do you own a Cirrus as well? Or you owned one in the past? Trying to connect the Cirrus references in your past videos with you plane ownership. Also, your reply to the comments re: your Jacob video on AvWeb was pure gold!

[@MichaelOnines]

I believe the cirrus is his father's, but he does have access to fly it and does so on the channel on a fairly frequent basis.
