I have hundreds of hours in the right seat, flying next to my favorite pilot; My dad. He taught me that your just a caretaker for the rare, historic aircraft, and as incredible the Staggerwing is, it's the people and the group of magnificent people that own one that make the airplane so great. I miss those days but I will always miss my dad! Thank you for your gift of wings.
This has got to be one of the best looking modes of transport ever made. Cool to see it fly like that, I've only seen them cruising, or parked, the interior is really cool too, it's one of the few planes that is designed to such an integrated aesthetic level.
That's the kind of early aluminum I like. I love how the fuse tapers so quickly down to the rudder. Really give the Beech a one of a kind look. BEAUTIFUL!
Suspension was working overtime on that takeoff. One of my all time favorite aircraft. The design is just fantastic. It looks great sitting on the ground.
Had the good fortune to watch one pass over and land at Mackinaw Island. Iconic design and being a tail dragger the owners are to be commended for taking on this aircraft and flying it.
landing gear needs adjusting! tail wheel is half way up and one piece of the main gear is flapping. continueing the high speed passes wil evetually tear that piece of main gear door off the aircraft. the pilot should be able to hear that flapping.
Although I took my first flight from my grandparents' roof - aged 4 - I learned to fly in NC17GB (Beech D17s) at Flying S Farm in Justin, Texas in the early 80's. Captain Jess E. Shryack - Godspeed. Maybe Joel (Mr. "Hollywood"), Mark (SWA) or David "Bimbo" will see this entry one day & think of their father's maniacal laugh, once again.
I love how when you are used to reading about WW2 warbirds, an R-985 sounds like a lawnmower engine in comparison. But then you actually see and hear one in action and you realize that it is still a 985 cubic inch engine, still a beast. Just your R-2800s are monstrous.
The A-10? It is in the eye of the beholder, but I have definitely never heard the A-10 described as "beautiful" before. Possibly attractive or appealing but I don't see where beauty comes into it. Most people call it extremely ugly. The Staggerwing, the Spitfire, the DC-30, the 727, the Spartan Executive, those are beautiful. A P-51 is handsome.
I see that one part of the wheel door has not retracted.I sat in one at Sutton Bank in the 80's. I remember the polished brass fuel lines with taps to access I think five fuel tanks. The control yoke was central and chain driven. The yoke was passed across between the right and left hand pilot.
Man and machine and nothing there in between The flying circus and a man from Prussia The sky and a plane, this man commands his domain The western front and all the way to Russia
Do you like the landing ?
Perfect 😎 Biplanes with retractable gear are really rare.
Fabulous landing!
he didnt land he buttered bread with how smooth that was
Did you hit first brick?

Al Capone had one of these for his personal trips!
Yes

Thx Bob 💪

Now this is the definition of grace and beauty
Yes Awesome isnt it
That's a beautiful example of the staggerwing. Nice flying passes to show it off. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed
Beech 17 is the prettiest plane ever. Elegant and bad-ass all at the same time.
Had the good fortune to watch one pass over and land at Mackinaw Island. Iconic design and being a tail dragger the owners are to be commended for taking on this aircraft and flying it.
hands down the prettiest biplane ever
Oh yes
And Beech made the prettiest AIRPLANE ever, too, when they made the Starship.
landing gear needs adjusting! tail wheel is half way up and one piece of the main gear is flapping. continueing the high speed passes wil evetually tear that piece of main gear door off the aircraft. the pilot should be able to hear that flapping.
Wunderschöne Bilder vor dem blauen Himmel !!!! 👍👍
Beautiful demonstration! This plane just came to Flight Simulator. Great camera work!
Best video and flight demo I’ve ever seen of the Staggerwing
Ty glad you enjoyed
Congratulations on the machine. The painting was excellent.
Thx i loved it 2

Beautiful landing.
I've never heard or seen this aircraft before but she is a beautiful plane. It is right up there close to the P51 and A10!
Thx liking mate

@@justforever96Don't forget the most beautiful plane of all...the Beech Starship.
Beautiful aircraft,
Art deco plane, beautiful.
Thx watching
Ein Traumflieger. Artdeco pur!
Danke

Thx watching and for your comment
Landing gear needs a rigging check...
🔝🆙 a beautiful Biplane close cockpit of the time✈️💪🌠💫
Thx watching
There’s a billion Cessnas in the world, there should be a billion more of these.
True
My favorite and the most beautiful civilian aircraft.
- - I hope someone told him about that right gear door. - -
Schönes video.
Waren die andere flieger aus dem elchinger museum auch da?
Ja nur die hurricane nicht
Starboard gear door not fully closed
As beautiful as any flying machine
Did you fix the right landing gear door? Or is that something else? Damn thing flies Beautifully WoW! So stabile! Not 100% bi-plane like is it!
Didn’t see the plane lately
Notice that his tailwheel bungee cords are weak? Tailwheel is not retracting fully.
casually flies towards wind turbines*

Biplanok soha nem szűnnek meg.... békében..Ha újra indul az élet a földön ,,GERLEVEL kezdik....
