This is why I love YouTube. Never thought I would be watching a "Will it run" video on an abandoned airplane. Great video Jimmy!

That kind of time with his father is what that child will remember, in a world where there is more and more distance between parents and children, hugs from Venezuela

ngl the relationship you have with your son is amazing, also he's a great camera man props to you guys

I had a 1967 Aztec and loved it. It was great flying 1 ton dually.....literally would carry anything you put in it.

Way to go Jimmy. Your son will never forget the times he spends with you doing work like this. I used to work with my boys when they were that age. They are 25 and 29 now, and that time went by in a flash. Proud to be a new subscriber.

The interior of the Aztec is AMAZING! Its a time capsule. So clean and beautiful

It's so cool that your son gets to spend time with you like this. It's quality time like these that kids will never forget. It's awesome and your content is awesome!

It warms my heart to see you teaching your son with such excellent slangs and phrases! Reminds me of my Canadian country childhood!

What a great education you are providing your son. Clearly you are an outstanding dad. All his buddies are probably locked in their rooms playing video games while he’s getting aviation and mechanical education and spending time with dad!

i bought a 310i the same shape as that aztec and fixed it up. put over 100 hours on it so far. Had sat for over 20 years in a hanger

Having worked in Aviation back in the 70’s, I recall a hot Saturday midday in New South Wales where I was refuelling a Pawnee at the bowsers As I taxied back to the parking area I passed an old Aztec that had not moved for several months. Just as I was level with its nose, an engine dieseled and spun its propeller spontaneously. From that day onwards I have never ever again walked through an aircraft’s propeller arc. (Scared the daylights out of me.) Cheers from Downunder👍🇦🇺🇺🇸😬

"There's no way that's as far back as it goes" As an avionics technician who's constantly crawling back behind the instrument panel, I felt that. Seats in aircraft can be the worst, especially in GA.

I'm fairly impressed with your son. It's great to find a channel where the kids are an integral part of the video instead of being hams for the camera. I'm really warming up to your videos frankly.

This is like watching a ten year old play with a hydrogen bomb.

I love seeing old, derelict aircraft brought back to life. Thanks for working to get another one back in the air!

This is the one YouTube suggested. Love the channel.

Jimmy and his son in these videos deserves a huge SHOUT OUT on how is has such patience especially when he is interacting with his son. I have so enjoyed these videos as much as I have for a few great reasons and for the ability to watch such a healthy bond between father and son that any man and son would love to have the same strong bond of father 7 son. My best friend, my father was such a man and after he passed away at the age of 69 is when I realized what I lost in his absence. I miss my father every single day and though I am 60 years old you never stop feeling the love from your father and the love of your son. My wife and I were unable to have children and after finding why which was my wife's Multiple Sclerosis we figured out just what we both lost in the death of my dad as he loved my wife with the same unconditional love he always showed me. Rest In Peace, Dad and for Marty and his son, may you both never lose the joys, memories and the bonds of love for your dad and the love of your son. I couldn't find the name of your son, Marty??? Can you please let me know so I can refer to him by his name instead of just son? I am not a freak and just his first name is great. Please all share this video and my comments so others reading this might pay a little more attention to the treasures parents and children share. I know I referred to the relationship between father & son but it applies to both sons and parents or daughters and parents. Peace, Luciano G.

Immensely interesting and entertaining. Great content. Keep it up. I'm a 52 year old auto mechanic and there are a few similarities between auto and aviation internal combustion engines. Can I just say, from my diagnostic perspective, you seem to be spot on. Systematic, methodical approach to those engines was a pleasure to behold. Compression, check. Fuel, check. Spark, check. That bad boy MUST run. It wasn't a matter of if, but of when. Glad to see your camera crew invested in the project as well. Cheers from North of the 49th.

I repaired many Aztec Lycoming engines. The engine is very tolerate. Once it is service regularly, it preforms well. The air-cooled system is excellent, it helps to maintain the engine. Once it is properly oiled it runs well. Only complication you may encounter is carbon pressurized deposit in the electro unit of the spark plugs due to high torque combustion. However? This will be executed due to proper hourly inspection. Jimmy did a great job. The Magneto, pressure check and overall sequence was good. Good job Jimmy.
