The Beech Stagger..., one of the coolest planes ever. Enjoyed the air show video too. Haven't seen one since the '09 Peoria airfest. I'd love to got to the local Tampa show, but MacDill is a nightmare traffic fuster cluck.
Not trying to be rude or offensive here, but you must have been a remarkably advanced baby if you can remember things from when you were 9 months old. :-) I just love that 'plane though.
@@frankcree980 I remember stuff from when I was 14 months old. I have a photo taken when I was 14 months old of me watering the garden with my toy watering can, and I remember it being taken!
Is the cockpit noise pretty loud? I once rode in an Ayres Thrush (a cropduster with a 600 hp radial) when I was younger and it was terrible if you didn't have headsets. I had them, but I took them off briefly to hear what it was like.
Most general aviation aircraft, especially singles, are quite loud. But back then no one gave it any concerns. That's why most old pilots from that era are deaf as stumps.
Look at the oil temp. Some old supercharged radials will actually last longer if you do not spend too much time at idle beyond a quick mag check and prop cycle.
Pretty good until about 60% through it when it suddenly started showing all kinds of airshow rubbish which nobody who has searched for "Beech Staggerwing" wants to see.
@@lawix21477 Another year later..... :-) Just returned to this clip for the first time in ages. I wasn't trying to be offensive, but it doesn't come out well. I probably ought to say that you should learn how to drive TH-cam before posting stuff on it, but I wouldn't know how to edit things either. Congratulations on the first 60% though. Pretty good.
Absolutely not. It would be sacrilege! Anybody flying one of these in this day & age will very sensibly have a Garmin 695 (or similar) strapped to the yoke & an iPad strapped to a knee. Makes life a whole lot safer without ruining one of the most revered classic aeroplanes ever built.

Thank you. Mom past away a few years ago and Dad is now in assisted living but doing ok.
My first plane ride was in one of these from Floyd Bennet Field ,N.Y. when I was 9 monyhs old ....Still remember flashes of it. [1936]

Yes,amazing.

Such a beautiful aircraft, flown by a seasoned Pro.
Always wanted to ride along in a Staggerwing, thanks for the experience.
Great video of this iconic airplane and KJVL's iconic aviator! Fun to see the clips from AIRFEST, wonderful memories!
Gotta love the bar stretched across your line of sight…
Larry, your dad stayed in T-Ville next door to me ...your mom and he were very cool people. Rick Perry
i,along with a top ap took care of nc18575 for over 15 years...what a treat.
Love the cold idle....
Ah, that warms my conventional cockles. ,what ever they are.LOL.
I am a fair guitar player, but that is real music.
beautiful!!
Some one has done a bunch of cockpit relocation like fuel selector, flap switch and tailwheel lock (Just to name a few.)
We have a nice RED Staggerwing up in Abbotsford, BC...seen it land with no landing gear once on the news hour....havent seen it since then tho.
*had
Agreed. That plane just sounds sexy as hell..
Very cool.
That's one beautiful aircraft, the Staggerwing Beech. Are those Stewart Warner analogue gauges? Just asking!
Yes. Good eye
I have time in staggerwing. It a joy to fly.

Yes, It's very loud. We use Noise cancelling headsets
Yes, very loud. I use a noise cancelling headset. It's the only way to hear ATC,

No mag.check,prop cycle, even a little warm up...???
This is not a continuous tape. There is a Gap in it

Looks like you filmed this with a paper towel tube!
crimsontriton Yea, I bought a "Wide Angle" lens for the video camera and that's what it does to the picture. Not the best unfortunately
I don't like the location of the engine controls, too high .
Thank Walter Beech
Gotta love the beech throttle control can turn them for fine adjustments
It’s a beech thing
3:20 That is not a Staggerwing. It's not even a bi-plane.
You’re an idiot
Is that your dad flying?
+Perry Swanson Yes

Sorry, didn't know how to edit it out.

A what's with the looking through a tube??? Anoying.
Don’t like the throttle , mixture and carb heat up that high
Mixture, Throttle and Prop lever and I agree but all the Stags are the same.
How come no skywriters never write "Surrender Dorothy"?
needs to upgrade to an efis system.
That would de-grade the value of an antique aircraft.
