'Well... My Engine Just Quit.' - OSH2019 - Day 2

Never a dull moment... Thankfully Hal is a more than qualified pilot and didn't break a sweat putting her down dead stick!

Hal; "yeah grab my spare engine, it's on the hook by the door". What a cool guy and a legend.

[davemerkley]

You gotta love Hal, the most understated guy out there...‘‘tis but a flesh wound”

[adrianclehmann]

There is nothing wrong with being sick while flying. Aim to puke in every state. That's an achievement.
Set a goal.

I don't claim to speak for the world outside the US, but you lot are what the rest of us like about you guys. Humble, clever, humorous and cool (actually cool). Old school Americans. Great vids.

Draco never just arrives.... Draco makes an entrance 😁

[jarhead]

If Hal told you “ a bear is charging you” or “your shoe is untied, ” I bet he says it just the same. Quiet confidence, gotta love guys like that.

Hal is a badass! Engine swap in the middle of nowhere...no big deal. 🤣👍🏻

[BlueAngelPhantoms]

Really enjoyed! You guys make it look so easy, and calmly landing a single engine plane after an engine failure??? Crazy!

[donjennings]

Hal: Grab my engine by the door.
If you look up "Aviator" in the dictionary, you will probably see this guys picture.

Nebraska, is so flat, my dog ran away and five days latter I could still see him....

[shaunroberts]

Hal Is The Man. Wow. OUTSTANDING pilot and then pulls the Engine out of the back country of Wyoming. SuperPilot....Wow!

After seeing Draco so much, its obviously not a big deal anymore. Its just the best, coolest, most awesome bush plane ever made.

rod through the case, same thing happened to me last summer with my riding mower, fortunately I had 0 altitude and plenty of lawn. but it took me a month to put in a new engine.
Great video, very cool shots, lots of taildraggers.

Testiment to the resorcefulness and helpful attitude of pilots, going back for a friend, and that friend's ability to say "I got this".

Oh man! I live right next to the airport in Lincoln, NE. I’ve flown with Silverhawk too! Cool story: Yesterday, I was watching planes take off and I saw this unique plane. It was red, not flying too fast. I thought to myself. Hey it’s Draco. It was freaking Draco! Hope Lincoln treated you well. Give a heads up next time 👍

[GolfFoxtrot]

'Draco', not a big deal made me chuckle. Enjoying the journey.

[FlaskTL]

I'm not even a pilot...but its easy to tell Hal is a savage. Calm and Cool.

[n.leeball]

Including the wife was a great idea. Glad that she agreed to come. By the time you guys get home, she might be flying and navigating. My Mother got her Private Ticket within a few years after my Dad started flying. Hope that she learns to love it as much as you do.

HaliStone is such a trooper: "If I have to puke, just do it and go on!" What a champ!!! BTW H, the low and slow is fun, yet keep looking for things around and you to can fly higher...

Thanks and Haley, your conversations and connection make me smile.
