This is Part 2 of the last video showing the repair of the main landing gear tire after landing at the Fairmont Hot Springs Airport CYCZ. We were rescued by another Cessna 425 Conquest turboprop that brought jack stands and our favourite mechanic to help us replace the tire tube. We had some trouble with a certain brand of tube, and despite smooth landings wound up with three flats over the course of a few months. Some lessons are learned the hard way! But hey, at least now we know how to change an aircraft tire, and always take extra tubes when we're off the beaten path, just in case we can't find parts!
Pilots take note... make friends with more pilots! You never know when you may need to call them to help you out!
Thanks everyone! Enjoy! You can watch Part 1 of the IFR flight into Fairmont is here.
