Winnie Mae: Her Last Voyage

This time lapse video, produced in the summer of 2012, documents the preparation and transport of the Lockheed Vega "Winnie Mae" from the Steven F. Udvary-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC where it will be displayed in the "Time and Navigation" gallery, scheduled to open in March, 2013. Music by the Lost Patrol.

Kermit Weeks is restoring one...if not this very one to fly again.

[@vanislescotty]

Thank you, interesting video. In response to some comments above, they can't all fly again. Some just need to look pretty. I love a moving plane as much as anyone else and it does give the most complete feel for the plane but sometimes it just isn't practical. This one is well preserved and loved.

A Line Or Two About The History Of This Plane Would've Been Nice But The Audio Blew Chunks . . .

[@MatthewSwasta]

Sometimes I think there is an award out there somewhere for the most annoying music accompanying a video on TH-cam. This wouldn't win it, but might deserve a nomination.

Thank you...

How many guys sat in the seat and imagined they were there for that first trip to the stratosphere and discovery of the jet stream?

[@robertcushman7002]

fabulous 👌, but no narration??😢😢😢

[@wqgram]

Really good! A tribute to the people at Garber.

Did his plane land at floyd Bennett field in glens falls ny

I like the humble VW wheels. Did they replace them before the wheel pants went on?

[@iainforbes902]

Beautiful Aeroplane! seems a shame it's trapped in a building as a display and not still flying

[@alexanderreimer387]

Music cudda been better thought out...Benny Goodman or Glenn Miller...!!!

[@georgefrench1907]

Alexander Reimer Better still, no music at all, IMO.

[@coodycaster9812]

What happened to Wiley Post?

[@bfmcarparts]

He founded a kids cereal company... not. If I remember correctly he was killed in an aircraft crash, along with western folklore teller Will Rogers.

[@earlwright9715]

He died in a plane crash in Alaska, he was 35 or 36. His passenger was Will Roger's

[@bruceschneider4928]

Awful music.

[@hawkdsl]

Anything not flying is a waste.

[@3240590]

I agree!

[@MatthewSwasta]

preserved for history

[@scowell]

So their Space Shuttle, a waste? The rockets, at waste? They should fly their Concorde once a week? Plenty of Vegas around... flying examples too.

[@earlwright9715]

Look up, Kermit Weeks
