The Beech Stagger..., one of the coolest planes ever. Enjoyed the air show video too. Haven't seen one since the '09 Peoria airfest. I'd love to got to the local Tampa show, but MacDill is a nightmare traffic fuster cluck.
Not trying to be rude or offensive here, but you must have been a remarkably advanced baby if you can remember things from when you were 9 months old. :-) I just love that 'plane though.
@@frankcree980 I remember stuff from when I was 14 months old. I have a photo taken when I was 14 months old of me watering the garden with my toy watering can, and I remember it being taken!
Is the cockpit noise pretty loud? I once rode in an Ayres Thrush (a cropduster with a 600 hp radial) when I was younger and it was terrible if you didn't have headsets. I had them, but I took them off briefly to hear what it was like.
Most general aviation aircraft, especially singles, are quite loud. But back then no one gave it any concerns. That's why most old pilots from that era are deaf as stumps.
Look at the oil temp. Some old supercharged radials will actually last longer if you do not spend too much time at idle beyond a quick mag check and prop cycle.
Pretty good until about 60% through it when it suddenly started showing all kinds of airshow rubbish which nobody who has searched for "Beech Staggerwing" wants to see.
@@lawix21477 Another year later..... :-) Just returned to this clip for the first time in ages. I wasn't trying to be offensive, but it doesn't come out well. I probably ought to say that you should learn how to drive RU-vid before posting stuff on it, but I wouldn't know how to edit things either. Congratulations on the first 60% though. Pretty good.
Absolutely not. It would be sacrilege! Anybody flying one of these in this day & age will very sensibly have a Garmin 695 (or similar) strapped to the yoke & an iPad strapped to a knee. Makes life a whole lot safer without ruining one of the most revered classic aeroplanes ever built.
