i just happened to see your video - August 20, 2024. Fabulous build, piloting and flight. It appears that the Pete was built directedly from the plans, the way iy SHOULD be done. My hat's off to you, my friend, from an 86 year old commercial pilot and homebuilder from the U.S.A.
I learned in a PA-11 Cub and flying in anything with more than 100HP is just "transporting", not flying. I have always wanted a Pietenpol (Model A engine ONLY) and many years ago when BH was still alive I bought the plans from him but never built it. Now my wife thinks I am too old (80) to start flying again. Watching you fly it brings tears to my eyes. Its beautiful.
If kids today could get off of their phones and video games, they might find that they enjoy something like this - pure excitement and full engagement of your mental and physical senses!!
And absolutely beautiful video. I have watched this probably 5 times and still get sniffly. Beautifully crafted machine and a beautiful relationship. The true spirit of aviation is exemplified perfectly. I love this
I have watched hundreds of Pietenpol videos. Liked all of them. This is no doubt the best of all. So beatifull so nice so human. Thank you for sharing this emotional video. Its is the best motivation i have to continue thinking I am ready to build a Piet. Thanks a lot Jesper. Congratullations from Brazil.
Your airplane is gorgeous. The paint job really softens the hard lines of the airframe. That lovely straight wing!!! Your attention to detail is wonderful...the wheel covers...the engine, propeller...windscreen! Oh my, what a beautiful ship.
This is the best avaiation clip-type movie I ever have seen!!! The aeroplane is a piece of art too! Would like to see it on my next trip to Sweden! And would wish a movie like this also with our Vintage hatz HB-YSH starring! Take care and enjoy briefly your plane an landscape! Hans
You all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Kendrick Reign I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Bought a Piet last December... had it delivered last month... taking lessons in it... only have 250 hrs in my 150.... live in 4000' grass, NH69 nothing like open cockpit flying
FANTASTIC video! I love to see videos that capture the ESSENCE of flying - the joy, the freedom, the pure joy. I fly a '46 Luscombe - this video captures the EMOTION of flight better than most. Happy trails my friend in aviation!
I just want to let you know that this video and two others featuring Air Campers took me from being hesitant about getting my license to officially saving the money needed to reach that goal.
Let me just add that I have a set of plans signed by Bernie Pietenpohl, and spoke with him on the phone many years ago. I felt as though I was speaking with a true aviation pioneer. I've wanted to build one for decades!
Emocionante! Principalmente pelo fato de ser uma aeronave experimental, construída pau e tela, com motor Ford 29, e muito bem conduzida pelo piloto. Só quem já montou nervura por nervura sabe o prazer de voar sua própria obra. Congratulations!
Aside from that radiator being smack dab in the way of the pilots view, that plane seems like a cream puff. Exellent video resolution. Other posters could learn allot with this vid on what HD really means. I'm not a fan of music in these gearhead documentaries, but most people like it, so I'll get over it. Thumbs up !!!
Great film. I know that many Pietenpol's have the Ford engine with the radiator blocking the view forward. How can you "see and be seen" if your vision directly forward is blocked? Seems like you would be more likely to be involved in a collision.
Great video and beautiful Air Camper! My brother and I bought a set of plans each a couple of years ago, but we never got started. Going to have a look at those plans this weekend I guess 🤘
Hi Jesper, I would love to build one myself but since this is the first time building, I have a lot of questions. Is there any way I could get in touch with you?
Hi Alex! All Music from Smartsound. I quess thats why google cant find it. You have to bye the Music and license from Smartsound to use it on TH-cam. Thanks :)
Hi guys...I was wondering about something.. I seen a none flying Pietenpol that was built in the 1950s I believe, that had a Ford model A engine.... Has anyone considered another model Ford engine? It seems like if these were flying with the A engine it could fly with a modern straight six or something. Just wondering out loud. Lol
Beautiful video, beautiful airplane, beautiful music!!
Awesome in every detail.
Awesome build!
I admire those that are mechanically gifted.
The popularity of this video has far exceeded my expectations. Hope you all will enjoy my flight.
Great working with you Per! :) Time to film a second part soon? :)
We have a long Nordic winter in front of us.
This should be the top comment.

10 out of 10 video, between them camera angles, the high quality HD, and the beautiful airplane. Very nice job
Thank you😊
I love how he captured every vintage aspect of that plane I have watched this a million times
agreed, but you'd have to view it non stop for over 14 years to watch it a million times :)
Very nice plane and video, thank you very much and keep the flags flying!!
A really wonderful video and a truly superb aircraft, thank you for sharing your efforts!
That cinches it! A Piet it is. I've already got the Model A engine sitting on my shop floor. Time to get started. Brian in Michigan
A truely inspirational video. You know the romance and adventure of flight the same way I do.
Thanks Martin!😊
And absolutely beautiful video. I have watched this probably 5 times and still get sniffly. Beautifully crafted machine and a beautiful relationship. The true spirit of aviation is exemplified perfectly. I love this
Without a doubt the best Pietenpol video on the net. Great filming, music, editing and one fine airplane. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely one off my favorite Pietenpol videos. Beautiful airplane.!
Thank you😊
Wow! What a beautiful sight! Beautiful Plane!
I have watched hundreds of Pietenpol videos. Liked all of them. This is no doubt the best of all. So beatifull so nice so human. Thank you for sharing this emotional video. Its is the best motivation i have to continue thinking I am ready to build a Piet.

carlos roberto petean Thank you very much😊
The most incredibly done video I have ever seen!. Captures the true spirit of flight in a most beautiful aeroplane!
I agree. This is the best general aviation video I have ever seen. Amazing.
Thank you very much sir! I will do more film like this in the future.
Beautiful video and flight and aircraft Pietenpol Air Camper!
Wow!! Gorgeous plane and outstanding video production skills. A real joy to watch.
Very very classy, well done! I felt like I stepped back in time. Thank you

@Kendrick Reign it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Emerson Jedidiah Happy to help =)
I've always liked the aircamper but I love yours. It's exactly I mean exactly as a pietenpol should be like. 👍
Brought a tear to my eye. I just bought a scale RC model Air Camper. Now I want a real one!!! Absolute magic.
Powered by Henry Ford!! A true classic video!!
Bought a Piet last December... had it delivered last month... taking lessons in it... only have 250 hrs in my 150.... live in 4000' grass, NH69 nothing like open cockpit flying
Excellent production and a beautiful aircraft!
Beautiful video! We just bought a GN-1 Aircamper in California; hope we can find the same joys flying it that you show in this movie.
fantastic video and beautiful aeroplane. nice job!
Fabulous video 👍👍👍
Excellent work and video... you have every right to be proud...My Heartfelt Congratulations...Ron
Excellent job!!This is like a therapy.
great video and music
Belle machine le Pietenpol et belle vidéo.
👏👏👏👏 What a joy! Thanks!
Oh it’s such a beautiful bird it makes me cry
Thats beautiful...great video. My dad had a Pietenpol before I was born. I wish I could have flown it!
Looks for all the world like a Westland Widgeon. Beautiful
Great video of this amazing plane....old days gone
WOW!!! Beautiful!!
and some GREAT SHOTS too!!!
Thanks!!
Great video
So beautiful movie and flights! Thanks, man!
Now that is a proper Pietenpol. Water cooled auto engine and big wheels. I love it.
Beautiful airplane! My father used to have an Aircamper. I never got to see it or fly in it, but I have always been drawn to the airplane!
Good looking plane, looks like the original 1920s Pietenpol Air Camper design !
Beautiful footage of a wonderful classic airplane!
Thank you sir!
That's one of the best videos ever on you tube!
I think Per will be very happy hearing that :) i am :)Thank you!
I love your plane 😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 fly it 👍🏻
January 2020. And still a great video. Such a beautiful old bird
I'm in love! 😍What a wonderful plane!
Great video, enjoy the plane and the scenery. Well done!
Beautiful plane and nice flying! Much future success!!!
Loved the video
Helt fantastisk film och ett otroligt bygge, stort grattis från de djupaste smålandsskogarna!
Great video ! Reminds me of some of my flights in my Pietenpol Sky Scout.
Felicitaciones desde Argentina, América del Sur.
FANTASTIC video! I love to see videos that capture the ESSENCE of flying - the joy, the freedom, the pure joy. I fly a '46 Luscombe - this video captures the EMOTION of flight better than most. Happy trails my friend in aviation!
A friend of my dad had a Luscombe in 1949 and took me for a ride in it. I was 11. Great ride, and I couldn't believe how sensitive the controls were.
Most of this video has you believing it is 1933. The sound of that engine is wonderful!
Great achievement Per. This is Ali's friend Semih aka "oldbird". Also building a Piet in Turkey.
Beautiful plane Per. I still have a long way to go.
Excellent video! Hoping to build myself one of these one day myself. Great flying and great video! :)
outstanding...
I just want to let you know that this video and two others featuring Air Campers took me from being hesitant about getting my license to officially saving the money needed to reach that goal.
InfiNorth very happy to hear😊👍
Beautifull great pilot and great movieman 😀
Very very cool.
Yes it is :) Thanks!
Superb, you made my day!!
jo pitomnik Thank you😊
I'don't know how many times I watched this film. Fondamentalism in aviation is the only good Fondamentalism. 👌😁
Thank you very much!😊
What a beautiful plane and video.
Thanks Bryan :)
Let me just add that I have a set of plans signed by Bernie Pietenpohl, and spoke with him on the phone many years ago. I felt as though I was speaking with a true aviation pioneer. I've wanted to build one for decades!
Just fantastic! All the best :)
Fin film och ett fantastiskt bygge.
Tack för kommentaren :)
That's some amazing footage!
Thanks my friend! Beautiful day and great flying :)
Is this like the last 7 minutes of a Disney movie about a pilot who struggles back from the devastation of war or something?
beautiful plane!! beautiful footage!! I'm actually looking for an aircamper!! ^^
Beautiful job
Emocionante! Principalmente pelo fato de ser uma aeronave experimental, construída pau e tela, com motor Ford 29, e muito bem conduzida pelo piloto. Só quem já montou nervura por nervura sabe o prazer de voar sua própria obra. Congratulations!
Excellent! I like the look of a Piet with the old motorcycle style wheels, but Cub style "fat" tires may be more practical on a rough unpaved runway.
awesome footage
Epic man I want one now

Beautiful
Thanks for sharing 😊 I am wondering is engine a model T, model A or model Y Ford.
It's a model A-Ford
@@perwiding1910 thanks 😊
Very nice.
I don’t know where this was filmed
But it sure looks like the American Midwest
It was filmed just outside Stockholm Sweden. I grew up here. Love those open fields. Freedom.
Thank you for this. Im building a sky scout and Im wondering what kind of magneto you are running, Thanks again
Thank you.
I joined the group, thanks again.
Super Video !!
😃 👍 Espectacular muy bien 👍 😃
wow amazing
Jättefin film!!
Tjusig kärra också!!

Hi Jesper, I would love to build one myself but since this is the first time building, I have a lot of questions. Is there any way I could get in touch with you?
😍🤩😍🥰
what is the plane that flies next to you?
It´s a Tiger Moth
What Engine is used in that plane?
This is killing me....even Google can't figure out the name of the music at the beginning. What's the name/composer of the piano piece?!
Hi Alex! All Music from Smartsound. I quess thats why google cant find it. You have to bye the Music and license from Smartsound to use it on TH-cam. Thanks :)
Очень красиво!
Lovely film. Where in Sweden?
Thanks! Filmed at Skå-Edeby airfield just outside Stockholm.
A wonderful video. You, the videographer and Kajsa have captured the spirit of flight. Thank you so very much!
