I have hundreds of hours in the right seat, flying next to my favorite pilot; My dad. He taught me that your just a caretaker for the rare, historic aircraft, and as incredible the Staggerwing is, it's the people and the group of magnificent people that own one that make the airplane so great. I miss those days but I will always miss my dad! Thank you for your gift of wings.
This has got to be one of the best looking modes of transport ever made. Cool to see it fly like that, I've only seen them cruising, or parked, the interior is really cool too, it's one of the few planes that is designed to such an integrated aesthetic level.
That's the kind of early aluminum I like. I love how the fuse tapers so quickly down to the rudder. Really give the Beech a one of a kind look. BEAUTIFUL!
Suspension was working overtime on that takeoff. One of my all time favorite aircraft. The design is just fantastic. It looks great sitting on the ground.
Had the good fortune to watch one pass over and land at Mackinaw Island. Iconic design and being a tail dragger the owners are to be commended for taking on this aircraft and flying it.
landing gear needs adjusting! tail wheel is half way up and one piece of the main gear is flapping. continueing the high speed passes wil evetually tear that piece of main gear door off the aircraft. the pilot should be able to hear that flapping.
I love how when you are used to reading about WW2 warbirds, an R-985 sounds like a lawnmower engine in comparison. But then you actually see and hear one in action and you realize that it is still a 985 cubic inch engine, still a beast. Just your R-2800s are monstrous.
Although I took my first flight from my grandparents' roof - aged 4 - I learned to fly in NC17GB (Beech D17s) at Flying S Farm in Justin, Texas in the early 80's. Captain Jess E. Shryack - Godspeed. Maybe Joel (Mr. "Hollywood"), Mark (SWA) or David "Bimbo" will see this entry one day & think of their father's maniacal laugh, once again.
The A-10? It is in the eye of the beholder, but I have definitely never heard the A-10 described as "beautiful" before. Possibly attractive or appealing but I don't see where beauty comes into it. Most people call it extremely ugly. The Staggerwing, the Spitfire, the DC-30, the 727, the Spartan Executive, those are beautiful. A P-51 is handsome.
I see that one part of the wheel door has not retracted.I sat in one at Sutton Bank in the 80's. I remember the polished brass fuel lines with taps to access I think five fuel tanks. The control yoke was central and chain driven. The yoke was passed across between the right and left hand pilot.

Do you like the landing ?

Fabulous landing!

Did you hit first brick?

Thx Bob 💪
Now this is the definition of grace and beauty
Yes Awesome isnt it

That's a beautiful example of the staggerwing. Nice flying passes to show it off. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed
Al Capone had one of these for his personal trips!
Yes
Wunderschöne Bilder vor dem blauen Himmel !!!! 👍👍
Beech 17 is the prettiest plane ever. Elegant and bad-ass all at the same time.
Had the good fortune to watch one pass over and land at Mackinaw Island. Iconic design and being a tail dragger the owners are to be commended for taking on this aircraft and flying it.
Best video and flight demo I’ve ever seen of the Staggerwing
Ty glad you enjoyed
Beautiful demonstration! This plane just came to Flight Simulator. Great camera work!
Love the sound of that radial eng😁
Congratulations on the machine. The painting was excellent.
Thx i loved it 2
hands down the prettiest biplane ever
Oh yes
And Beech made the prettiest AIRPLANE ever, too, when they made the Starship.

A beautiful aircraft.
Yes thanks watching

Thx for you comment. I preserve history
Beautiful landing.
I've never heard or seen this aircraft before but she is a beautiful plane. It is right up there close to the P51 and A10!
Thx liking mate

@@justforever96Don't forget the most beautiful plane of all...the Beech Starship.
Ein Traumflieger. Artdeco pur!
Danke
Art deco plane, beautiful.
Thx watching
🔝🆙 a beautiful Biplane close cockpit of the time✈️💪🌠💫
Thx watching
Beautiful aircraft,
I see that one part of the wheel door has not retracted.I sat in one at Sutton Bank in the 80's. I remember the polished brass fuel lines with taps to access I think five fuel tanks. The control yoke was central and chain driven. The yoke was passed across between the right and left hand pilot.
Thx watching and for your comment
As beautiful as any flying machine
There’s a billion Cessnas in the world, there should be a billion more of these.
True
Landing gear needs a rigging check...
My favorite and the most beautiful civilian aircraft.
- - I hope someone told him about that right gear door. - -
Schönes video.
Waren die andere flieger aus dem elchinger museum auch da?
Ja nur die hurricane nicht
Starboard gear door not fully closed
Notice that his tailwheel bungee cords are weak? Tailwheel is not retracting fully.
Did you fix the right landing gear door? Or is that something else? Damn thing flies Beautifully WoW! So stabile! Not 100% bi-plane like is it!
Didn’t see the plane lately
casually flies towards wind turbines*
