Here's a teaser with four highlights from a busy day out at Fantasy of Flight. Kermit Weeks tested the engines on the Fokker Triplane and Fokker D-VIII, and also took to the sky with both the Albatros D. Va and the Sikorsky S-39. It's always exciting out at Fantasy of Flight, but things were a bit more that day... got a little hot there too for a moment or so.

The guy with the extinguisher woke up... eventually. Remember - Safety Third!

@tomasinacovell4293 5 лет назад

I can't wait to see the Fokker DVII and the DVIII fly.

@brustar5152 2 года назад

Kermit was working furiously to untie the tail wheel to drag the thing back from the burning gas pool under the undercarriage. Perhaps a quick disconnect is in the future for engine tests.

The gentleman in the shades kind of dropped the ball being parked on his butt with the fire extinguisher clamped down! Lol. I can't blame him for his lack of worry, though. Every time I see a video from Fantasy of Flight those birds seem to start like they are brand new. Is that the way it really is, or are mishaps like these more common?

Wonderful, Really Wonderful ! Many Thanks! More please...

@FantasyOfFlight 11 лет назад

The plane is a reproduction (almost all German fighters were destroyed under terms of the Armistice) but the engine's original.

@qibble455 5 лет назад

Wow! Glad they were on top of it. Could have been really bad. Sad we didn't get to see and hear it run up, Those spinning radials are probably my favorite engines, They're mad but somehow quite elegant.

Brings to mind how easy it can happen. I remember fuel gauges on _________ Airlines 402 Cessna's leaking onto the King silver series radios and killing the radios. How we didnt have a fire, i will never understand, but happy it didnt happen. Check everything, then check it again, then have somebody else check it.

That Sikorsky sounds sweet.

@SUNGEAR59 11 лет назад

What a lovely collection of planes a real treat )

Next time I'm in Florida, I'm stopping in. Looks like a great spot to have some fun.

@astro_mach7117 11 лет назад

I'll be coming to you guys in June! Stoked!!!

@FantasyOfFlight 11 лет назад

Thanks all!

The Sikorsky seems to be much faster than I would have thought. Very nice stuff you guys have there.

@Peaceforallmankind67 10 лет назад

Wonderfull!! I was at fantasy of Flight a few weeks ago with my family. I took a ride on a yellow bi-plane (what was the name again?), together with Rob, a very professional en tall pilot how gave me a quick flying lesson, that was really awesome. I actually piloted the plane for about 10 minutes, i will never forget the lacy ace that i did. Thanx Rob, greetings from Al from the Netherland!

@leesherman100 9 лет назад

The tail tiedown could use an update on that D-7. The plane could have been totally involved before Kermit got it undone. Beautiful aircraft.

@1969DodgeChargers 11 лет назад

I love that S-39!

@FantasyOfFlight 6 лет назад

Check out the Kermie Cam of it here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A-CCkwPRYrA.html

Fast moves from the guy with the fire extinguisher he earned his pay that day and some

@brustar5152 2 года назад

Yeah, but blasting Co2 up in the air at the flame doesn't cut it. First rule of fire fighting is: always shoot as close to the base of the fire as you can to deprive the fuel from incoming Oxygen.

@HeldigDansker 11 лет назад

Can't till next summer! i'm going to fantasy of flight :D All the way from Denmark :)

@Arundodonax 8 лет назад

That was tense!

@joshuadavies8348 10 лет назад

I remember when this was being restored

@guntherachterhof4876 4 года назад

Goodness gracious 2:49! 😮

@Tandler77 11 лет назад

Very nice birds! And the DVIII with a rotary engine! Nice one. Is that original?

@foetwinny 11 лет назад

lol @ fire extinguisher guy. His Vitrual Reality glasses were throwing things off a bit.

@donaldparlettjr3295 6 лет назад

Kermie cam the Sikorsky, that would be real cool.

@FantasyOfFlight 6 лет назад

We did. Here's the link to it from Kermit Weeks RU-vid channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A-CCkwPRYrA.html

I believe the saying IS "Kick the tires and light the fires....". Minor.

@vegarddelegg5472 5 лет назад

I thought they were just gonna watch the fire, take your time putting it out it’s only a vintage ww1 aircraft. He could’ve been quicker.

@bfmcarparts 5 лет назад

After watching this video, and besides the dripping fuel ignition, how many other pilots are on the staff?

@FantasyOfFlight 5 лет назад

Four of the crew are flyers.

@bfmcarparts 5 лет назад

Lucky dogs of the air.

No. It has been striped of many of its parts. It will eventually be made into a restaurant for the new Act III attraction.

@dogeycj6189 9 лет назад

I Thought the DRI had a fully rotational rotary engine

@TheSkipjack95 9 лет назад

Callum Jerwood It did, but nowadays it's hard to find rotary engines, so many replicas use more modern radials.

@rodparsons521 7 лет назад

That must make it easier to fly, with so much less torque.

@FantasyOfFlight 6 лет назад

We have since replaced the engine with a rotary.

@spacedigger 10 лет назад

To bad ill never get to be a pilot, but would i have lved flying those old beauties! Especilly the fokkers. Hey, i'm Dutch. So ofcourse i like fokker airplanes.

BUD, YOU MUST BE MADE OF GOLD..................MEGA BUCKS. GLAD SOMEBODY HAS SOME , I SURE DONT........

@tomcook5813 4 года назад

Your name can have loads of monetary value, but personally you can be broke at the same time. I worked for a guy that owned a major Plumbing and Mechanical company, he lived in a gated community, drove wonderful cars and had it made. He went to buy a truck one day and could not get it financed in his own name, because he used the company name for so many years, he had no credit.. I guess what im saying is Kermit is as my father would say "well Healed", but it doesnt mean he has money to burn...
