Pilot Profile
Collin Caneva
Collin is a passionate aviator that was first introduced to aviation through his father, who flew a Cessna 182D. After his father sold the airplane in the 70s, he and his dad always dreamt of the day they would replace the airplane, or better yet, find and buy back the 182. Fast forward 35 years and now Collin travels the country finding interesting stories and people in aviation, then broadcasts those stories for the world to hear on the show called OldGreenPlane.
Collin succumbed to the prodding of his aviation friends and in 2019 became a tailwheel pilot and the owner of a Carbon Cub (called "Doc"), and has since been customizing it to make it his own and competing in events all over the country. His love for all things aviation spans all types of flying, but backcountry flying and STOLDrag racing have become his favorite outlet. He's a consistent top-tier competitor that is always working and practicing to improve himself as a racer but has also been known to set the tone for the comradery and "after-racing events" in the racing pits and campground.
You can't miss his black over digital-camouflaged airplane that is sponsored by the Lincoln Airport Authority (LNK), Scooters Coffee, Wayne America Fly-in and STOL, and OldGreenPlane.
