  • OK, Gang, here’s a video of the recent arrival and unboxing of my original 1929 Boeing 100 Roy Rehm has been working on for 30 YEARS since it was damaged in Hurricane Andrew.
    OMG, I didn’t realize how old I and these other old MFs (plus a kid) were and looked! But, please realize . . . that we’re ALL kids at heart!
    Pour yourselves a drink, sit back, help us unload it, and, please, keep any "peanuts gallery" comments to yourself as to our techniques!

    An amazing coincidence that driver Buddy Chapman, after this delivery, was going back out to pick up Dreadnought; an airplane with which I have a small but significant connection. "I'm actually feeling some lift!" made me laugh out loud... that must be one helluva wing. What a beautiful airplane; I've enjoyed following the restoration. Hope to see it at Sun & Fun. Also hope that you're finding time to fly between all the plates you have spinning. Thanks as always for sharing.

    I did some of the detail paint work on this plane. I also did the artwork on 3 of the other planes Roy Rehm is building. It was such an honor and privilege to work with Roy and see what it takes to build these stunning planes. Roy's work is something to be seen.

    I had a spectacular collection of aircraft when I was a young man, one that rivaled Kermit's. Perfectly detailed to the tiniest wire scale models. 😂
    Kermit is beyond belief, not only owning or curating these aircraft, but flying them too. I can't begin to imagine the number of endorsements in his log. Alas, I will continue to live vicariously through these videos.

    Thanks for another great video Kermit. It was interesting.
    Beautiful aircraft Kermit. Very nice.
    Everyone did a great job in loading it. Got it all unloaded and in the building. Great.
    Hope to see it fly in the relatively near future. Wonderful aircraft. Thanks.

    Kermit I know you were based in South FL for years, curious if you knew my uncle, Jim Hill, had a FBO at FLL in 70's - 80's. South Florida Aircraft. They specialized in Beagle 206's.

    Kermit, I would highly recommend you have 2 young guys for every 1 old timer in your shop. Just looking at it from an outsider's perspective, you've got about 5-10 more years out of your core team. What you're doing is so important, i'd hate to see the expertise retire.

    Hello Mr Weeks, Can you tell me your building location? It looks like a hanger at an old military base in Orlando. I can't remeber if it was McCoy AFB or McDill AFB. I came there from Tyndall AFB to change an engine on a T-33. It's good to see you keeping Boeing aircraft flying. I worked in experimental Testing with Boeing in Seattle. I looking forward to seeing your aircraft flying.

    Is Mr. Weeks still letting folks see his display?
    The man at one time was fantastic about opening up his facility off I-4..
    I knew he went another direction as far as doing projects a while back and truth be told he kinda stayed out that other direction mentality & physically, but the collection, did it all get sold off? Or is it still available to educate some our mindless youth of today???
