Thanks Kate. Totally agree with you, it’s amazing to watch the Yak 110 scream through the sky. Jeff was an interesting guy too. I did an inside tour of the Super Constellation also which is coming out on my channel this weekend. Hopefully an opportunity to watch that one. Thanks for watching.
Another awesome vid.. You growing in leaps and bounds mate.. Maybe try something different like the wrestling school at gateshead, or going for a fish on a tourboat etc..
Thank you… I appreciate your support! Aviation is the main theme, but I have done a few car and helicopter videos too. Fishing could certainly be an idea! Not sure if you have seen it, but I went to Canada at Xmas and Vail Resorts let me film a snowcat video… I drove it. Sounds like you could be from Newcastle area… me too. Here it is: High-End Snow Ride in $500,000 Pisten Bully Snow Cat at Whistler th-cam.com/video/ZEs7Keh75sA/w-d-xo.html
I knew the Yak 110 was popular at airshows in the USA, but wasn’t aware the team were local legends in Idaho. Jeff was generous with the time he gave me for the interview and also let me sit in his cockpit which was awesome. Thanks for watching.
G'day, Look up the Heinkel He-111 Z. (Zwilling means Twin...) Two He-111 Bombers with a 5th Engine on a rectangular Section of Wing joining the Outboard end of one Right Wing to the end of the other 'Plane's Left Wing. Group Captain Charlie Scherff, RAAF, shot down one of the only 6 ever made - to Aerotow Launch the Me-320 Gigant Cargo Glider...; over Belgium in 1943... The BBC made a big Hero of him for the Kill, and Hitler got so pissed off he mentioned Charlie in a Speech in the Berlin Sportspalast, putting a 10,000 Reichsmark Reward on his head to whoever shot him down. He came home to Emmaville, 15 miles from here, in 1945. After Hitler shot himself. True Story. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
@@BeSnappy No worries. The "Land Of The Beardies History House & Museum" In Glen Innes, NSW, Australia has a portrait of Charlie Scherff on display in an obscure corner, up near the Ceiling of their (renovated) War Memorial Room. Before the ' "renovation" they had a large (3 ft X 2 ft) Wartime BBC Propaganda Dep't Poster about him, the Heinkel Zwilling, and his DeHavilland Mosquito Fighter-Bomber. The old Poster has a lot more information than what's currently on display ; and hopefully the old one is both in Storage, and on microfilm (?). Have fun with digging out the story... ;-p Ciao !
