When I was a young man I spent four years in the Air Force on KC-135. Just watching this brought my spirits up out of the doldrums from this COVID Plandemic idiocy. I LOVE PLANES & FLYING.....
Thats pitty so I miss the AN2 and JU52. By the way enjoy every thing whatever have wings and a propeller only for the right wind and the game with the clouds to see the small world below and forget all the problem never know staying in the air
WWWWWOOOWWW ... When I saw the ages of the aircraft totally lost it. 93 years trimotor .... i mean it never struck me ... and still flying . WOW WOW and WOW You guys truly love flying. (sorry that statement means a lot to me ..... for reasons best known to me)
Excellent camera work and sound! The CG descriptions are a nice touch and non-obtrusive. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos -- a great front-row seat!
4:22 that American Legend Turbine: Did it even touch the runway? 🤔 That was such a smooth landing. 🤯 About as good as the B-25 a bit earlier; with the nose wheel held off and a nice 'chirp' when he decided to let the nose down. 👍
Awesome video, I wish I saw it a year ago when you posted it. As far as plane-spotting goes this is pure gold! May I respectfully make a request? When posting the type and age of the aircraft (which is super cool) could we get a few seconds delay after the aircraft is first shown? I was really enjoying the "name that aircraft" trivia game... the few second delay would make that even more fun. Of the war birds, I only got the C-47 wrong when I called it a DC-3... ok, that was just a bit of tongue-in-cheek.
Double-check the aircraft ID at 11:00. All B-25H aircraft had solid noses with 4x.50calguns and a 75mm cannon. Did the owner stick a glass nose on a 25H?
The ages of these aircraft belie the fact that much work and repairs has rewound the clock so to speak. A ford Tri-motor would be a pile of rusted tubes if it had literally stood for 93 yrs even in storage. One day human-frames may reach similar immortality status.
I want to get a rusty corroded pos and haul it there next year and set it up like I flew it in and look like I just got out of it in 1950’s garb. I think it would be a kick in the pants. Cracked prop would be the icing on the cake.
