Flying to Lake Havasu | Cessna 172 Flight Vlog

We grab a Cessna 172 from our flight club, pack it with our new camping gear, and blast off on a spur-of-the-moment trip to Lake Havasu for the weekend!

RIP tim and joy... loved your swing music at Disneyland

Such a lovely couple, you can tell they absolutely adore each other. I always shed a tear every vid I watch of their
Journeys. Such a tragedy. RIP my friends.

Godspeed. Now, You're At the Summit. Rest in Heavenly Peace.

What a fun adventure! It was great meeting you guys yesterday. On the tailwheel vs tricycle debate, you can probably guess where my preferences lie. ;-)

Almost all GA aircraft are underpowered especially in the high mountains in the west. A Continental 85 h.p. does not make 85 hp unless it is new (fresh & tight) and at sea level. You are lucky to get 50-70 hp. At their elevation and density altitude it is a recipe for disaster. I've been all over that area and it is beautiful. Many of the local airports are ~7, 000 ft elevation. Way too high for a small carburetor engine especially on a hot day. Their last moments must have been terrifying.

Tail wheel is definitely better for off airport, but there are a ton of off airport destinations you can do with a nose dragger. Sooner or later if you want to go faster you’ll be looking at some nose draggers.

From now until I leave this world, every time I go wheels up in my 172 I will think of Tim and Joy with a smile. Godspeed you 2.

Tailwheel, my grandfather is just finishing his Pietenpol!

[behindthespotlight]

No man knows the hour of his time. These two exude something special and all one needs to do is read the other comments to see the positive impact they had on others. I sincerely hope & pray that their spiritual houses were in order. Blessings to those they left behind and blessings to all who read this ✈️💔

How come you can’t put a GoPro on the outside of the Cessna but you can on the pietenpol? And you two are SOO cute together!!!! It really seems like you guys have found your soulmates.

[cindymcguine]

Good to know that you can rent cars in Havasu.

[chrism]

I own two tailwheel airplanes, and I like the challenge of course, but there is a pleasure in flying something that most pilots do not fly, or perhaps even care to. Also, it is possible to go places that one cannot in a tricycle gear airplane, not to mention the "fun factor..."

[eskimomosul]

Not aware of Tim and Joy's demise.. What, when ? Sad indeed such anice flying couple .

[goodtalker]

I am new to these two people and I understand they perished recently in a crash. Does anyone know where they were employed? Tim looks familiar to me.

[Mrsournotes]

Open cockpit car instead of airplane.😀

[dennisnbrown]

RIP. Such a loss of two beautiful souls

[JoeJoe-zwou]

Lost 2 kind souls . God speed you two, where ever you have gone, may god be with you .

[YouTuber-epxx]

Sad what happened. Rise each morn and enjoy each day best you can.

[michaelrodgers]

RIP. So sad to hear of your accident..

Lake Havasu is a special place for me. Did my first ever cross country solo to there when I was a student pilot. Great making of this video. Brought back good memories. RIP Tango n Juliet.
