Great Presenter, and a very interesting story. My grandfather worked for the Kinner Aircraft company and built a scale model of a Kinner aircraft complete with a Kinner Radial after his retirement. It was a functional model and he actually flew it as an RC model. He taught me how to fly, and design principles of aircraft, which I now use today, although I bend the physics quite a bit to achieve modern goals for some unusual aircraft. What a great and fun time in aviation history, and so well presented. The presenter is very cute too. Love her enthusiasm and obvious knowledge, as well as wit, and intellect! Hope to visit someday!

Fantastic plane!👏

Great presentation and so much enthusiasm - thankyou!

The Smithsonian's getting their hands on some pretty amazing planes lately! They FINALLY obtained a B-17 Flying Fortress for their collection in the last several years (Shoo Shoo Baby, which is currently undergoing reassembly) and now this fascinating piece of history. Hopefully they present it as the treasure it is!

Sad to see it leave Brodhead, but class is in a good home.

The only issue w/ it going to the NASM is it will never fly again.. but.. It will have the best care in the world.. ❤️

My Mom flew a Kinner Bird pre WW-2.. It was based in N. Fl. and an elderly gentleman owned it.. My Mom and her hi school chum used to fly it ….❤

Bird. Also built by women in long Island. Kinner motors are hand rebuilt, mainly by nickel plating the insides of cylinders. Chrome is dangerous. The Kinners last longer, between rebuilds, than most plane engines, and they have excellent " specific consumption" horsepower per pound of gas. They are also lighter strained and quiet for motors with no muffler. Birds are lifty instead of fast, and have excellent glide ratios. They slow down well and fly on less power than most similar sized planes, and it's harder to get hurt in a Bird.

I live in Virginia. I hope to visit your museum on the way home from EAA Oshkosh this summer.

What was the name of the owner who sold the plane in 2012 and where did he live?

Very interesting!!! By the way, are you old enough to have a driver's license?

Excellent content, thanks 👍

i got a TO FLY A 1929 BIRD with a upgraded engine and a 450 STEARMAN the same day at lake village airport

Wow thank you for posting great piece of history!!

As a piano technician, I feel the same way when I take apart a fine old piano. There is a certain reverence about it. And you learn things like, what makes a good glue joint that is not going to fail in 40 years.

That was fun!

My Dad lived down the bock from the factory, when he was 15-16, he worked there making wig ribs.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh remains one of the top (female) persons I've ever known (about). Like no one else, she resembled a real-life version of "Snow White", quite naturally and really. Her aircraft here, in pristine condition is priceless as a demonstration of their 100% devotion to each other and her rare compatibility to her great aviator husband by being herself a fully-active pilot, yet fully herself too. AML is "a unicorn", one in a million, so rare, thought non-existent by most people. Her husband was about as legendary and rare as well. My late-life learning about the Lindbergh's relationship is SO REFRESHING - particularly their still today little-known achievements that were incomparable too, e.g., his warwinning contribution in WWII military service and long-range aviation and her fit and complimentary depth, breadth and heartful literary and cultural achievements, stand by their own fine merit were distinctive and distinguishes her as incomparably natural, selfless, interdependent and loveable as can be. She personifies the female part of "the greatest American generation" yet. Cheers! M G T O W red pill

I think I own the Bird that she took lessons in prior to buying her airplane. It was based at Roosevelt field and was in a flight school. The name of the plane is “Lucky Lindy”.

I like clearly presented quick and to the point professional videos like this.

At 7:35 - I her new home, - my favorite thing in the world right behind her - the Grumman Goose.

Great video and wonderful story. Would've loved to have seen it flying but guess I'll have to visit the Museum now. Thank you for the history lesson!

Thanks for sharing

Wow ! Thanks for showing this on u-tube !

Oh what Dreamgirls they truly are .

So nice to see an enthusiastic young women involved with old airplanes.

Great vid Ami ! Thank you for sharing.

Ami, another great video - thanks! I hope to get up to Brodhead again this summer and finally visit KAM. For anyone who hasn't been, the Udver-Hazy Museum is fantastic and a shuttle runs from Dulles several times a day. U-D has many more and different planes compared to the Air & Space Museum on the Mall (which is great, too!).

what a beautiful aircraft!

Great story, interesting bird,,thx for that story,,all the best for 2025 , greetings from northern Germany ❄️🌊☀️🍀

Excellent

Nice to see a unique Bird retiring to the best home it could ask for. The only downside is it will never fly again, but that's the way of things. I've been restoring N833W, a 1930's B-model Bird for several years now as part of the Ron Alexander Youth Aviation program down in Georgia. I'm intimately familiar with the difficulty of piecing these airplanes back together but you shed some light on the history of them that I wasn't aware of. It's always wonderful to see someone knowledgeable and enthusiastic about aviation, especially the vintage variety. Good on you and keep up all you're doing there!

Thanks Ami! How nice to see you in a new video! Happy New Year to everyone! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!

Thanks Ami for a great little history summary about a great little historic plane.

Good history story, and a good presentation. thank you!

👍✅ Tks Ami👏

Loose the music sweetie.

She is adorable with a great presentation. The Pietenpol is gorgeous as well.

Excellent presentation

Excellent presentation

Excellent

Not only a great story,but presented by a beautiful young lady

You might like to use a technique from old school survey work in your wingtip to tail measurements. Use a scale, like those used for weighing fish, to put 30 lbs of "pull" on the tape, and then compensate for the temperature which causes the tape to expand and contract. Keep up the good videos and 'Keep Them Flying!"

I think it was off by 3 miliroons, I like that you use vintage tools on vintage airplane.

Very impressive presentation. You have a career on TH-cam!

Now that's my kind of Pietenpol. Ford powered.

Good job young lady, you have a bright future no matter what you decide to do…

Are kits still available for sale? If so, what's the cost and is there an alternate engine suitable for use? (I don't know how many of the Ford engines are still around...)

Cool little airplane. Most civilian planes in interwar Poland had that silver and red scheme. Although more colorful ones look better.

Nice 🎉👍🛩️ Ford Model A engine,,right? All the best and greetings from northern Germany 🍀
