Leaving Cuba to Build Vintage Airplanes - 1941 Boeing Stearman Flight 

His restorations look beautiful and his story is inspiring. I can't stop looking in awe of his Staggerwing.

He made it and did it right and the reward is phenomenal. Outstanding Stearman and perhaps one of the very best designs ever done. Thanks for a great video.

Wow! Best vid yet, I could listen to Robert talk all day long Maybe one day I’ll meet him

Pronto voy a cumplir 34 años y llevo los últimos 4 tratando de salir de esta isla. Amo mi país, no me malinterpreten; pero el régimen asfixia de muchas maneras, y aparentemente ya soy "oficialmente" un disidente, un perseguido. De más está decir que aquí está prohibido poseer una aeronave (solo un paramotor), así como está prohibido también, solo para los cubanos, abordar en embarcaciones propulsadas o de recreo; solo a algunos pescadores con botes de unos pocos pies de eslora, con una licencia. Historias como las de Robert (Roberto, para mí) son las que no dejan que se nublen mis sueños. ¡Abajo el COMUNISMO! Abrazo desde Cuba.

Man this should be more popular than it is. It looks like there is a lot of effort that went into this.

Beautiful story. Fantastic success story. It’s thrilling to see this man make a world for himself. His restorations and his hangar designs are gorgeous. Thanks to you and Robert.

5:36 "Let me show you something interesting." Sir, the entire video was interesting from start to finish. My own parents escaped from communist Poland and came to America in 1954. I salute you for all that you have achieved in America.

Muchas gracias Robert for chairing your story. Originally my parents brought my brother and I from Havana on 01-27-70 in the freedom flights. My first love as a 7 year old was seeing a flight of Mig's taking of from San Antonio de los baños air Base. We lived in "Little Havana" for a few years. My dad would take me to Homestead to see the F 4 Phantoms Wow!! You're story brought back a lot of great memories. Muchas gracias y que Dioz me lo bendiga. ☕

Incredible story of a very accomplished man. Thanks for sharing.

Great guy and great planes! Love the “Gracious Fidel”. Hilarious!

Maybe you have already but let’s talk about living at an airport how cool is that great video with a great story of beating the odds

Tampa = _Almost Home_ {St. Pete} *GREAT VIDEO!*

Wonderful Robert. Video is excellent. Thank you for sharing. BEAUTIFUL landing !!! R Bud Fuchs

I'm actually helping him build his Super Cruiser.

Wow! Just Wow!

Fantastic Man!!

The cuban accents 🇨🇺..myself been proud to be cuban...

Beautiufull video and great guy y disfruta de la vida compañero, te lo mereces.!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the kind of guy I like to hangout with. Less and less of them around as time goes by.

More people of your generation need to talk to people like this man. I don't know your political beliefs and you are entitled to them but please understand that authoritarianism whether right wing or left wing is dangerous. The freedom to go for a flight for enjoyment like in this video would never be allowed. I've been a subscriber for a while and enjoy your content. I mean no disrespect.

Roberto muchas gracias por su historia, ojalá los jóvenes de hoy dia aprendieran a valorar mas las cosas en la vida gracias a experiencias como la suya! Roberto, thank you very much for your story, I hope the young people learned to value things more in life thanks to experiences like yours!

Great video and a great story, I loved the "gracias Fidel" banner, I was at that airstrip last Thursday looking to see if there were any for-sale signs on the planes on the ramp...

Thank you Sir.

Me encanta su historia, felicidades, sería interesante subtitularlo en español, un abrazo. Saludos desde Galicia

Great video! Robert is an amazing man! I loved hearing his story ❤️. His restorations are gorgeous, as is home and hanger. My all time favorite flight was in a 1941 Stearman and that one is a beauty. I absolutely love the Staggerwing!

Great Post. I really enjoyed. I had a Stearman. Now a Legend Cub. You did a great job.

WOW what a life!

Very nice!!!

Great video

Awesome. 👍

Great airplane, fantastic gentleman.

absolutely beautiful! Thanks for this video.

The Beechcraft stager wing. OMG! What a beautiful bird. I would have rather seen her in the air.

I always wanted to learn to fly.The first time I ever flew was in the front seat of a Stearman. Working for Learjet I got the chance to go up on a pre-delivery flight once. I have a picture of me sitting right seat at FL450 while the co pilot was checking something aft. Talk about experiencing both ends of the spectrum.

Dude! You totally knocked it out of the park with this video. Anything else I watch after this will be a bit anti-climactic! LOL! Love your stuff bro.

beautiful shots! my dream plane :)!

Cool, I would love to fly an airplane one day

Just like dying and going to heaven with gasoline great upload thank you very much very interesting very informative

good fly

Awesome video. Thank you for taking time to make and share this insight into the life of Roberto. Would you be able to list your camera equipment used on the wing?

Can you make a video of 10 2 seaters you can fly without a licence?

Been watching random videos on your channel for about a year now, and this is most definitely my favorite, great job. Side note, I grew up in south FL and my dad learned to fly at X51, so Cuban history has always been interesting to me(much to the chagrin of people that think Communism is great).

Wait a minute!!! I saw the inertial starter on that thing!!!! What’s the deal with electric start? Cranking that thing is part of the experience!!!!

i got an ad to vacation in Cuba

What kind of engineer was he?

Where is this Airport and what is the Ident of it

One of my best friends is his grandson
