After my solo in a 7AC Champ I bought a 1941 Taylor Craft BC12D. $600.00 😳 I spent a few years and 300 plus hrs as king of the air ways at 105 mph.😂 I flew over most of Northern California exploring the pacific coast, the Central Valley and the lower Sierras. Landed on. Levy near Colusa for a night of CAT fishing. 😊 I loved my T Craft and the many adventures we shared.

So 60 years ago (plus a little), Dick Fogelman from Levittown, PA said to this 12 year old (then) "Would you like to take a ride in an airplane?" And I DID, more than once. He had an old Taylorcraft that looked like your BC model to my memory. I sat there watching him hand spin the prop to start it, and I still remember the thrill of that trip out of Old Star Airport in Bucks County for the first time. What a great memory!

What a beautiful restoration. Man I would love a ride in on of those.

I learned to fly in a '46 Taylorcraft owned by by Grandfather. What a beautiful plane. All these many years later it is hanging in an Aircraft museum in Minot, ND.

Forgot I even did this video and posted it... Over 100K hits... Not bad. Dani is a great lady. And she is a pro snowmobiler ... I would not mess with her. We had a lot of fun filming it. As I recall the owner let her take the controls while they did a loop around Stellar airfield in Chandler AZ.

Taylorcraft?...., absolutely phenomenal!.

Oh boy! That is just so perfectly simple and well put together. So appealing.

Very nice plane. Very nice presentation. As a long time pilot, over 35 years – I just got a BFR in a great Taylor Craft with a great instructor. I think all pilots should get a BFR or at least a check out in a tail wheel airplane with a good tail wheel pilot at least every couple or few years. Teaches you what those peddles are for down by your feet, no -not the brakes.

T-Craft's are one of the more efficient aircraft of its time and this one is a great example. Spent lots of time in a nicely restored T-Craft with an 85HP continental back in the early 1980's. It was the airplane that taught me how to land tail wheel planes. So gentle and forgiving this was and still is truly an airplane that made learning to fly very easy and enjoyable. This is a beautifully restored T-Craft and a very confident young woman at the controls. most people that fly on skies will hand from the rear side of the prop. This way if the plane starts to move forward you are able to get at the controls in a second. Most planes that are float equipped and don't have a starter must be started from behind the prop since there's no room in front. Beautiful airplane and woman. Thanks for the video!

We use to own a 1945 BC12D C-FSJZ sn 6411 lots of fun on skis in the winter landing on frozen lakes, flying along and positioning our shadow over unsuspecting snowmobilers...

First airplane of which I ever had control was a T-craft 12D. Easy to fly. Really loved it. Then my dad bought a Cessna 1946 140 and I had a new love but I never forgot my first.
-
Whoever did the restoration on that bird did a fantastic job . We have a Stearman and a L3 Aronica that we restored and generally folks don’t understand how much work goes into bringing these aircraft back to their former glory .
-
Nice plane, reminds me of mine back sixty years ago.
-
O.. MY !!..o my sooo beautiful!! ... the plane.
-
A nice Decoltage will sell an aircraft any time....!

My dad soloed in a Taylorcraft. He learned to fly before he learned to drive. His dad was an FBO. He remarried at 89 and recently passed at 95.

I recall Gordon Baxter writing about his memories of flying a T-craft on a hot summer day in Beaumont Texas. Hooting and hollering, with his arm out the window beating on the side of plane while doing touch and goes! Bax had a way with words.
