90-year-old plane takes flight in Bentonville 

🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

idk why this made me crack up

Bro, u read my mind 🤣🤣

🤣

The man is like a kid again, and the kid is well, i don't know

@@starsoffyre the kid was like "I don't feel safe in this plane"😅

@@walawei82 yeah hes clearly shitting it lmfaoo

@@walawei82 for good reason!

Hey, I have never liked to fly and I'm 72. I think the young man did great!

I think the same

Flown by 80 year old pilots 😅

@@erfansafaeian8906 I’d trust those pilots with my life any day

Look at it this way - if it's been flying for 80 years it'll probably fly for the next hour too

its 90 year old plane, flown by 70 year old pilots

Worth every penny

$5.00 for the ride, $50.00 for the insurance premium.

lol not so expensive. Definitely gonna try this when got chance. In my country, to ride a helicopter require you to pay for USD 200 / tour / person. Ridiculous price!

Now is severe overpriced

True. I was the propeller

I believe Ford always used round steering wheels, not like Austin.

I didn’t catch that until you said something. I’d love to fly that plane. It must be weird.

I read somewhere that the original wheel was the same as a model T car, but this does look smaller than I image a ‘T’ would have

@@supersabrejet That definitely goes from somebody, who haven't even tried any flight simulator, let alone actually trying to fly a plane, lol

That was pretty cool

Did you go with him 20 years later

10/10 parenting, I was lucky enough to get a ride on one when I was 9, still remember it to this day now that I'm in my 30s.

Now he's more like: "Daddy are you sure this thing can fly? "

He was so scared lol

I haven't seen one in years. lol I remember when my older brother bought one when he was 15 (not old enough for a DL yet) and fixed it up, drilled holes in the body ouch! to mount directional signals on it, operated with a toggle switch (driver had to remember to turn them off). That was 1950.

You said it Martin! I've got me a '31 A Coupe. Drug it out of a framer's field last year. He said he parked it there sometime in the late 50's. 30 years before I was even born. The ol' original 4 banger wasn't stuck, so I pulled off the old Zenith carb, cleaned it all out, stuck it back on with a new set of plugs and points and what do ya know? Fired right up! The car turns 91 next year ;) and I absolutely love it.

@@matocaster love the story

If only that was the case with their modern vehicles. Biggest hunk of junk I ever owned was a Ford...

@@putridvomit It depends on how you drive and maintain any car these days. My friend has 260 thousand miles on his Ford "150" truck and is still driving well.

I did the same thing, but in Valdosta, Georgia. The pilot let me take the controls for a few minutes, too. I thought the controls were very mismatched, with the plane being sluggish in roll and hypersensitive in pitch. And the loudest flight I have ever been on, including Marine Corps helicopters! One of the few flights I have been glad to end, just from the noise. That big old radial engine and prop just outside the cockpit window!

Similar experience in Pontiac Michigan maybe twelve years ago, Cody Welch let me have the controls for a few minutes

Thanks for sharing ^_^

Yeah me too, I told the old farts I had a few sim hours on a laptop so they said "fuggit" and let me barrellrolllooopdeeloop that mf. Or not.

@@gavinvalentino6002 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The truth is different the real aeroplane was invented by an INDIAN SCIENTIST SHIVKAR BAPUJI TALPADE... yes its true which was not told to u all. Shivkar invented it 8 years before Wright brothers and that Indian shivkar's plane was very complecated machine whose engine fuel was mercury (NASA has recently started working on mercury engines and in India its invented 126 years ago). wrights brothers invented there plane in 1903 and shivkar in 1895...and it was fully controlable and powerful and it flew for several minutes. But sadly he was not rewarded for it as it was the time when INDIA was ruled by British government and Indians were fighting for freedom. British suppressed this invention and arrested shivkar and destroyed many research paper of him and steal his book of aeronautical science. U CAN SEARCH IT ON GOOGLE OR REARCH ON IT. and the story continues as there are many inventions which Indians have done but many invaders destroyed its culture literatures and steals many books and then just reinvented it and claims to invente it many inventions were stolen from India and then they parented it.

@Lultrooper I think he's drugged

@@yuvikagupta4331 Unmanned. Doesn’t count.

@@yuvikagupta4331 thank you for telling me the truth wise man.

@@yuvikagupta4331 turn off your wifi

This would have made my childhood

Maybe not, but he was and he did it. Brave.

"Prestin" and "pristine" are entirely different words. Don't type beyond your intelligence. It makes the shortcomings publicly viewable.

Did the same a few years earlier !

But hopefully not too quick

I used to fly to Malaysia on Aeroflot Ilyushin IL62M. Fabulous old aircraft except for the smell of the aviation fuel wafting about in the toilets. They have a beauty about them similar to the Vicker VC10 and the engines make a really curious sound.

@@PlaneNuts2024 Yes I miss seeing those old Russian aircraft. The TU134 always fascinated me, Aviogenex flew them for charter flights into Manchester when I worked there. A real versatile workhorse, able to land on rough grass, with a nose cone convertible to glass for military use when it also served as a light bomber. Massively overpowered and fast for a commercial jet and of course a real gas-guzzler. I loved the high pitched “trill” from the engines too.

First flew when i was 14 at duxford in likely the same moth as you. Now i fly a travel air biplane thats 92 years old and just passed my atpl exams

It ok watching from my couch a 90 yr old plane :)))

Well because you know nothing about safety and planes

@@adamr9570 I'm a simple man. I see plane, I see big windows, imma fly on it

But they are really dangerous winfows

@@starsoffyre bro big square Windows are not safe like 10-15 plane crashed bc of this Windows thats why they use round small Windows now

You must have flown it in FS2004

Awesome mate! I’m 26 and I would love to get into flying

But guys who fly this sort of plane are always old fellows with gray hair.

Yeah, they deliberately gave piston engine sound for jet plane

Lol I remember that.lol 😆

Sound of table fan

Maybe watched the night before a deadly plane crash compilation

At 90 is best for your heart to stay calm :))

Actually they died long ago but they can still fly!

He also may have developed a fear of flying and is no longer stepping on planes

POS

Yes, apparently you are ?@@mikrof467

I had an ex Qantas 707/747 captain in his mid eighties instruct me. He was far more skilled and professional than the younger instructors

Honestly is crazy to think that everything we have has only been around a short time. The guys flying were born in the 50s probably aviation would had only been around barely 50 years. All the cell phones, computers are still pretty new to humans. We think we live in such a modern time but its honestly just the beginning 100 years from now people will say the same thing. Wish we could live longer and see what future will be like

Yes, Island Airlines near Port Clinton, Oh. I flew on one as a kid in the 60s. Great fun!

Stout Airlines back in the 30s in West Michigan.. The Tri-motor I was on also had a Stout label on it. I was on the one that said "Port Clinton" on the nose. I got some good footage on my cell phone from entering the base leg to final to rolling out to the hangar and engine stop. FANTASTIC ride! I love slow flight like that.
