Wow, for a second there I thought this was going to be about the plane that was used in the movie It's a Mad Mad World. Just did a search for that one, it was actually an AT-11 and it ended up being scrapped back in 1970. Too bad.

I saw that plane at the old Tallmantz museum back in the 60s. It still had damage from when it flew through the billboard.

My dad knew Frank Tallman (he was an USAF IP in CA at the time, then did MATS, combat in Viet Nam, Pentagon, etc.). About the time that movie was being filmed, he was conducting a post major maintenance check on a C-45 (Twin Beech) and had a catastrophic failure and ended up upside down on a very expensive golf course. Watched many an airshow at Meacham and caught a ride with Junior Burchinald of Flying Tigers Air Museum in Paris, TX. He went to jail too for renting a B-26 (Douglas) to drug runners.

My dad, M.R. "Dick" Dickson owned Mercury Aviation at Phoenix Sky Harbor and had it for about a year around 1979-80 for resale after MGE. He had it painted (this paint job) in Wickenburg Az., I took some great aerial pictures of him flying it in formation with my brother Steve in a K35 Bonanza. So glad she hasn't been melted down for beer cans yet! Great work.

One of the coolest things about the WASPs was, at least in single engine fighters, they would ferry anything with little more than a data card and "how to start" list. Another story was when the AAC pilots were skeptical of the B-29, command decided to have WASPs deliver the first one. It worked. "By golly, if those women can fly it..." 😂

I’ve been following this restoration and was pleasantly surprised to learn about its history in this video. I remember quite well seeing 333MG at the Van Nuys Airport in the late 1960’s when I was a kid. Merv had it tied down north of Norman Larson Beechcraft just beyond the now long gone shade hangars. A very worthy restoration!

I followed this channel a few years ago when you were working on the Grumman AA-1 but lost all the links. Glad to have stumbled back on to your channel again & subscribed. Fantastic work and backstory on the Beech 18! Great to see an aircraft restoration channel where the host is actually an A&P / IA and licensed pilot.

That airplane was at Tarrant County Junior College when I went through their A&P program. We mostly used it to learn about inspections. There was another Twin Beech they let us start, but not this one. I heard at the time that Merv once owned it, but didn’t hear all the rest.

Glory days! This may be the other Beech.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sW9JH7-cjZM.htmlsi=NL22i8Ae07JbQDhS

@lewisauer6205 Месяц назад

@@HangaRatz That’s right! Our carburetors class would take apart and “overhaul” the carburetors for this Beech, then each team would install their carb and run the engine. Bob Landry was the instructor, if you didn’t learn a LOT from that guy, it was your own fault!

Hands down, she's among the top 5 most beautiful G.A. aircraft ever made DRIPPING with Class..... Oh yeah, any chance I can be the second person to jump from it? Rated and current for public demo jumps. Anyway, in the meantime, I will go buy a lottery ticket where I'll have much better odds 😂 Thank you for saving this American treasure for everyone. Perhaps when the day comes for her to retire gracefully in a museum, it will be the Smithsonian.
