Air Force Ones - Museum of the United States Air Force

The Presidential Aircraft Gallery located in the brand new (2016) building.
Presidential Aircraft from FDR to Kennedy are on display and able to walk through.
This was filmed during a visit to Dayton with my father on July 20, 2016, just over a month after the new building had opened.

Higher quality version of CAF's B-29 'Fifi' in Fort Myers Start-up and Take off Page Field, Fort Myers, Florida March 8th, 2014
Morning from SA, Tx for the video. We have a similar museum in SA that showcase our history of fighter planes .South African Airforce Museum Cape Town. Herewith a link to a video I took last week of the museum. Let me know what you think of our planes th-cam.com/video/5LIqRaEH190/w-d-xo.html
Kermit needs to get the P47 and HELLCAT in the shop asap
Fertil mertil was used in the movie The last flight of Noah's ark and The Right Stuff.
It amazes me how many aircraft Kermit has! Would love to see him restore the B29 one day as well as the Lancaster he has too. But, I dread to think of the cost of the restorations. Also he has to build up ACT III & make it sustainable first
what would make this more interesting would be, at the least , a photo of a fully restored F-35
Worst possible music !!!!!!!
Any relation to Bill minnear..
no Bills in the family on the Minear side that I am aware of.
I work for the late building here in Arcadia Florida doing just this... Any relation? Cool 29s 😎
Why is TupElev Tu-2 ? Must be TUPOLEV !
Make all these planes flyable !!!!!!
What a great knowledge this guy has,immaculate restoration.
There's more to the story from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seversky_P-35
A rare bird
Both audio and video qualitiy have improved significantly since this was recorded.
If you want to spend your money on obsolete planes that is your wish but photos and drawings would suffice. Now it's going to be guided missiles and lasers.
It's sad that Kermit will never restore or fly any of this stuff. It's even more pathetic that he closed FoF and will probably never fully open again. He's a metaphysical freak.
Ki-61 wing that met the business end of the mighty M-2
20 years from now they will still be sitting there
Better there than in a paddock or a scrap yard somewhere.
Fascinating, many thanks for posting.
Parts is parts.
Thanks for sharing, always waned to see this stuff...
Will that B-29 ever fly again?
Weeks did get the aircraft whole and was intending to fly it to his museum. Issued developed and it was disassembled and shipped. When it will be restored, who knows.....
I could do this work and forget about every care, everybody & every thing.
So many recovery projects. Start with one at time.
so much work to do
..man, I would like to see some of these moved to the forefront of restoration efforts before it's too late for me (or Kermit, for that matter) to get to see them restored..I do know the Wirraway and BF-108 are now underway. Kermit is wealthy, but I strongly suspect he doesn't have the money to restore all this..it would take a multi-BILLIONAIRE to get all this restored in a reasonable time frame...and I suspect the costs of restoration rise each year...I would really like to see some of the really rare stuff being restored very soon..the Kawasaki Ki-61, that Val or whatever it is, the B-23 Dragon, F9F Panther, are some that come to mind...I respect that in the end, it's Kermit's stuff, and he can go with whatever plan he chooses..but I am sometimes puzzled when I see him purchasing more common stuff like Wacos, replicas like the Polikarpov I-16, or more restoration projects, when the funds could have been used toward getting some of this stuff that's been sitting forever started....
If you are serious about preservation and restoration, sometimes it's about saving items from becoming scrap or deteriorating in a farm paddock somewhere. It's also about appreciating assets, Some things can later be sold off when the market is high, to fund the restoration of other pieces or to swap for other pieces. Museums all over the world do this all the time.
Just curious, did they name the location "Golden Hill" to one-up the "Silver Hill" Smithsonian facility? What a treasure trove of aviation history!
Yes, I believe that is what Weeks was aiming for.
That was better than sex!!!!
Hey........model-man...Humm...I Love aviation...but....better than Sex....!...pilot a beatiful woman it's much better tchê...
Kermit is the Patron Saint of War Birds.
So. sad
Holy smokes that Hellcat!! Get that baby flying!!!
only about 100 years worth of restoration work there.
Brian Green You’re probably correct. I get irritated when I see historic aircraft sitting derelict and going nowhere. Wealthy enthusiasts acquire them with the intention of restoring them but don’t realize how much money and time it takes,then they just sit in warehouses or,heaven forbid,fields. The National Air and Space Museum has historic,one of a kind WWII German aircraft in storage with no timeline as to when they will be restored. The Foche Wulf TA 152,Messerschmitt Me 488,and others that are the only ones in existence. Its been 70 years since the end of WWII,by the time they get around to restoring these there won’t be anyone to care about this part of aviation history.
Até mesmo o bagaço é belo , e gostoso de ver .
I love them in this original state .... like archaeological finds. Their history is there to see.
Are these aircraft being held as a source for spare parts or are to to be restored someday??
I believe Weeks intends to restore them to their original factory appearance and make them flyable. Based on the videos for the Bf 108, they have researched and determined what it looked like when rolled out of the factory. And as much as possible, they are trying to source original parts. Some of the aircraft, such as K-61, have had pieces loaned out to other restorers as templates.
What is the status of the B-29? Is there enough of it to make a flying aircraft?
Whitpusmc i think he has 3 or 4 b29’s
@@Whitpusmc The restored nose section. Essentially from the nose to the pressure bulkhead. The bomb bay section, aft pressure area (aft gunners compartment), and the tail assembly are present, as is at least one engine assembly. I did not see all the engines, nor did I see the wings or horizontal stabilizers. Weeks did get this aircraft whole, and was intending to fly it to his museum at the time, but issues cropped up and rather then risk flying it, it was disassembled and shipped. I believe Weeks has at least 2 B-29s, including one stored out in California at Aero Trader.
@@LordSlayer001 Thanks for the info!
So many projects , so little time
Wait, so kermit's got a b-29 and a b-17?
also a Lancaster in crates, but that wasn't in view.
And a P-38 Lightning!
Looking at the sign for the JU-52... Tante means Aunt in German, not iron. Loved the video!
Both were nicknames for the ju-52, since this is a postwar built aircraft it's a Aimot AA-1C Toucan.
Okay the Wirraway is in New Zealand being rebuilt as we speak. The bf108 is getting ready to start its rebuild. This I know so far as March 2018.
Holy crap! Where did you find the worst music ever made? It's like a bad 80s sitcom intro. Cool vid otherwise
Need to shit can the music would of been good
P-38!
I always wondered what happened to the Blimp Gondolas that inhabited the salvage yard on rt 206 by Maguire AFB
What happened with all this stuff?
still there. There is currently a smaller version of the Fantasy of Flight open in what had been the maintenance hanger. The warehouses with all of these planes is across the street from the FoF
