1931 Great Lakes 

I love the Great Lakes. I was fortunate to ferry a couple of new ones from the factory in Enid, OK in the '70's.

This Great Lakes was on the market recently on Barnstormers. I drooled over it because I have always hoped to own a Warner powered Great Lakes. I was never quite able to afford a Great Lakes but managed to own two nice Citabria airplanes plus six Cubs and a very nice Luscombe 8F. I also owned a flew a Spezio Tuholer and two Baby Ace airplanes. All this was back in the late 1970s and 1980s. I am 70 now. Guy in Columbia Mississippi

ANDREW seriously needs to host a podcast. Such a great voice. And would love to hear a show centered around vintage aircraft and the history of aviation, etc..

Great airplane!!!!

Andrew has had quite a bit written about his flying lately! I certainly wish I had my Great Lakes back. Thank you for taking the time to share and keep real flying alive.

It’s always a pleasure and an education watching Dewey and Andrew, thank you both.

….do a ferrying video, would love to hear those stories..

I'm still hoping to find an original Great Lakes like my grandfather had. It was black and orange with a Menasco engine and had a tail skid. He bought it new and flew it from his strip in Dyersville, Iowa. They might fly better with a radial but they looked better to me with the Menasco.

And then Old Rhinebeck almost crashes it in a midair with a replica Bucker, which did crash and is totaled. Luckily everyone was ok. Glad you were safe Andrew flying this sweet thing across the country!

Ernie Gann soloed a 80hp Inverted Cirrus powered Great Lakes that came from the Ryan School of Aeronautics NC12887. Took him 18 hours at age 26

GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK DEWEY!

see you at the Barnstormers show

That is definitely a gorgeous aircraft for sure! Someone did an amazing job restoring it. Andrew is such a wealth of knowledge, I could listen to him all day talk about airplanes. If I don't see you before the Barnstorming Carnival I'll definitely see you there for sure. I'm glad to see you back on here. By the way great job on the edit. The music at the end was perfect. Thanks for sharing the videos and blue skies brother.

It WAS Ernst Kessler that first performed the outside loop -- last week in Kansas City... :) Love your Videos! Thanks Dewey!

For the uninitiated, the engine baffles they are talking about are part of the NACA cowl on the airplane. That cowl revolutionized aviation in the 1930s and was still relatively new technology in 1931.

I thoroughly enjoy the history lessons Andrew always brings with each aircraft he flies into the Deweydrome! Keep the history alive gents!

Thank you for a great video... keep 'em comin'

Marvelous,,,,

Another wonderful history lesson. Thanks Andrew and Dewey!

LOVE this 🙂 Miss your video's Dewey. Please make more! How's the "barnstorming" farm doing ? Loved those episodes ! 🙂

You guys are my spirit animals. 😂

Nice to see you again Dewey. Very interesting video, you guys have so much knowledge 😊

Yay! Another Dewey video. Always appreciate Andrew sharing the life history of a vintage aircraft. Very cool!

It's a great day when a Dewey-Andrew video shows up! Thanks.

My dad restored a '78 homebuilt Great Lakes with an O320. We brought it to the barnstormer carnival a couple years ago. Great video!

Another great video. What a nice airplane and love the sound of that engine.

That thing is gorgeous!

Back in the late eighties, I rented one in milwaukee for a little dual with their acrobatics instructor.

i could listen to you guys all day, thanks ....that was great

Thanks for the great video on the Great Lakes! I started the Great Lakes Facebook group and have an homebuilt Great Lakes project. Good history Andrew. Betty Skelton had a Kinner on her Lakes

Harold Crier used to fly in air shows around here.(Wichita) Congrats, another great and informative video.

Love It! Thanks!

Glad to see some new content. Always a fun video.😊

Sucks I missed it...😢

Hey Dewey, How is it going... I'm still restoring the Clipper!
