Where I Learned to Fly

When I was in High school I started to fulfill my dream to fly full scale airplanes. In 1993 I learned to fly at Red Stewart Airfield in Waynesville, Ohio. I started in a J-3 Cub and finished up my rating in a Cessna 150. This video is a short video from Red Stewart Airfield. Learn to fly grassroots and enjoy the freedom of being a aviator. Thanks for watching

That is so cool! I was just out there this weekend and took a lesson with Tommy. He was actually polishing up that Pitts in the background when I met him. He gave me a lesson in a Champ and he's definitely an awesome instructor for sure thanks Tommy and Red Stewart field.

I absolutely loved flying, I soloed in 77500 cub at Red Stewart back in 2004, Joe Smith was my instructor.

Just finished my PPL at 40I! Love this place and have lived locally since 1987! Thanks for sharing Dewey!

60338 was my check-ride plane!

The owner also has a big warbird he flies to airshows. This was over a year ago, I hope he still has it

[@sailhavasu]

Just starting to watch you channel.. Stumbled on it by a youtube suggestion. Really like your style. :-) Super cool video bud. :-)

I used to fly jumpers out of a 182 there!

Great to see into your backstory Dewey. Oustanding to see your early student aircraft. Love those paint schemes on the late 60’s Cessnas! Enjoy savoring the B roll detail footage and the music you picked to accompany it! 👍🏻👏🏻🙂

Airplanes with patina I really like ! Dewey you have really interesting roots in aviation and this place is part of you even now,forget the posh flying schools go to a place like this for real tail dragger flying instruction,here they understand every part of the aircraft because they rebuild them and get down to the bare bones,it is little wonder you are a barnstormer with a start in aviation at a place like this,love the old Beech 18's littering the field they add real character,this is one timeless place that you can be so proud of,this is real grass roots aviation.

I haven't had a chance to get out there in a while; I knew they replaced the 85-hp engine on the Big Cub with a 65-hp. Was that broken valve from the 85?

[@bowhuntinoh]

One of my favorite places to fly. Will be there next summer finishing my tail wheel.

Moondog's Academy of the Air and Other Disasters by Pete Fusco... Best book ever!!!

[@cloudstreets1396]

Reminds me of Van Sant in Erwinna, PA. I pretty much grew up at that place.

[@Windtee]

Nostalgic; great show!

[@MW-gs8wz]

Enjoyed seeing the airplanes

[@emilyshonk8249]

i love your passion for planes Dewey

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Great video Dewey, good to see the aircraft you first flew👌🏻

[@Ichibuns]

I love this field. I flew in the J-3 a while back. Back seat flying a cub with an instructor upfront is extremely difficult compared to a C172. Still, it's great experience

[@robocathy359]

I'm a new subscriber and am learning so much about aviation through your videos. So, thanks for allowing us into your world! Great to see where it all began for you! ❤👍🙂

[@ColeAviation]

Dewey thanks for another AWESOME video!! 🤙🏼😁🤙🏼 I cant wait to get my J-3 Cub done. I got all my tail feathers, lower door frame and left Aileron covered. I’ll be covering the wings hopefully within the next couple of weeks. 👍🏼😁👍🏼

[@DeweyDavenport]

Sounds like your coming right along. When do you think you'll be done?

[@ColeAviation]

Dewey Davenport - I’m shooting for next August 2019. It’s very time consuming when doing EVERYTHING all by my self. Lol. I’m gonna take a little cross country flight and fly up to your place one of these days in it. I installed a extra 8 gallon wing tank so I want have to stop so much. 😁😉👍🏼

[@NettAirLa]

Those rental prices! Are those the current prices at 1:38? Here in New Orleans: 172 - $149 to $169 (steam and glass), 152 - $110

[@DeweyDavenport]

Nett they are the cheapest around and they really teach you how to fly. When I was renting the J-3 it was $26.00 a hour.

[@alessio272]

How well did you do when you took your FAA instrument written test. I thought it was challenging. My CFI check Ride was a pain my DPE was difficult. Does your jet you fly have an engine sync button on the top panel?
