Wow, you do have history in Huntsville. I've read that Huntsville is the fastest growing and now largest city in Alabama. It's amazing. I'm glad you could get out of KHSV. I didn't know of the security spies. Have you ever run into Wayne McCain< he teaches aero stuff at Athens...

Thanks for the movie. Very good. You must really enjoy it.

Wow! you do have a good history for your plane. Very nice photo of it at the end. That interior redo sounds really good, and you'll be more comfortable.

Nice plane you have there. Do you have any photos from it, or others took of it flying?

I was thinking about flying during the solar eclipse, was anyone here flying at that time? Did the radio have skip or the compass act strange? Instruments lose calibration temporarily? I would expect radio waves to change during the event and skip to increase, but since older instruments...

This is strange. Yulista is the partner of SES that I worked at for 7 years a bit ago. I have only been a passenger to that airport about a year ago and it is so much larger than it was in 1982. Back i 1982, it was just the small airport. The taxiway was rather rough gravel/asphalt...

Neat about Huntsville AL area. Back in 1982 I flew to the Hazel Green airport and the Meridianville airport, it was small back then. Crusty, what do you fly these days?

Does your door automatically close after the last jumper exits the plane? Or does someone go up with you for the purpose of closing the jump door?

That makes me want to go hitch hiking at the airport you are based at. Those are nice planes. Thanks for sharing the photos. I hope some more flyers post their planes, or ones they see out at their airport.

Hi Brad. I don't know your answer but I think I'd want to check all the screws on that landing gear. And welcome, I hope to hear more of your flying adventures.

On that plane in the back-yard, where were the wings stored? After repairing it, did you fly it?

Neat to see another that has flown but never was able to be the pilot and buy the plane. I learned in a Cessna 152 about 1982. Where did you do your flying?

While learning to fly just East of the Rockies, I became aware of what were called "flat lander pilots". These were the pilots that were use to flying where there were no mountains and no air currents around the mountains to fly in. If a flat lander had not done their homework, they...

That sounds like a lot of fun. When I was taking flying lessons, my instructor and I would occasionally fly from outside of Stapleton airport to Cheyenne WY airport for lunch. At that time there was an old plane (I think DC10) fuselage that had been converted into a restaurant. We were not...

I am trying to learn more about the various Cessna's and so I decided to research this one. I did not realize that only 575 were built. And started flying in 1957 but did not start being sold until 1960. Reading more about it in various places, I see it is a 6 seater, so sounds like a...

I don't have the information you need, but you may want to check with automotive shops or even fabric/upholstery shops for those that work with headliner "fabric". Welcome to the forum.

Thank you for that video. I could feel the adrenaline start when the fuel was pushed forward and the plane accelerated. And, I could feel when the ground fell away. You take very good videos.

That is a nice looking plane. About how many air hours do you have it now?

@Aerolithium thanks for doing a better job of identifying the plane for me.

@Jack Fleetwood - How many seats are currently in the modified Cessna 182 that you fly? I saw inside a plane about that size years ago, and there was only the pilots seat, so I'm wondering if your plane has had seats put back into it?
