A nation founded on hate, opression, theft, rape, racism, salvery and and murder can not abandon the principles it was built on and still maintian power. Acccepting truth is a very hard thing to do because it requires letting the ego die which is very painful. I took me 44 years of lying to myself before I accepted what I had witnessed my entire life as reality..
Kermit...Is this the same aircraft that Steve Hinton flew in the film The Rocketeer? It was rumored that for the film, extra wing length was added to enhance stability. Can you guys confirm? Love all the shows.....Mike
I’m sorry but shit pouring out of your engine is a good reason to stop and look things over. Other than that what a beautiful plane. Please keep up the great work and make sure to show it off every chance you get. 😊
Great video! The Curtiss Pusher is definitely my favorite "Pioneer Age" aircraft! (Although I prefer the "headless" version that didn't have the "header" assembly out in front of the pilot.)
Brilliant video. There is a book entitled Night Witches which I have in my collection and read cover to cover at least three times. Lovely video here. Thanks for sharing this unique and important aircraft. Cheers. Merry Christmas to all by the way. ❤love
Hats off to its battery to take that much load during the startup.. dint see any APU connected so i guess its the battery powering the cranking the whole time..
Sounds like she's starving a bit at the beginning ( Could be the choke ) ... grey smoke is the fuel mixture. And there ya go ... at 3.05 you hear the Pilot say something about pushing the MIXTURE forward ... and BOOM ... as soon as he gets the choke/fuel mix sorted she fires right up.
Harry Turtledove wrote a series of science fiction novels, called "Worldwar", being the battle to defend Earth from invasion by reptilian aliens (from Tau Ceti), at around the middle of WWII. One of the main characters was a Russian woman who flew a Po-2.
