  • You Are There! Come fly another seaplane with me. This time its the Sikorsky S-39. Part one is a little pre-flight inspection and cockpit tour. Part two we'll take off, and in both Parts 2 and 3 we'll do a couple of splashes on nearby Lake Agnes. I think you'll all agree... it's Pretty cool! - Kermit Weeks (20130419)

    Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for taking us along for a ride we would have never ever experienced otherwise.

    I was sort of surprised how sensitive the throttle was. Amazing plane for its day.

    Oh God! You Have a Sunderland! Please make a "Kermie Cam" of that! Here in New Zealand we had a few and so did the rest of the British Commonwealth! They are such beautiful machines and i'm so proud that you have one that still flies! Keep Up the amazing videos!

    Make sure you have zerk fittings on those wheel bearings and grease them often. This is why we see so many boat trailers pulled off and sitting on blocks next to the freeway. Immersing precision bearings in water then leaving the water polluted grease in there is asking for trouble.

    Nice. I love this machines unique appearance. I also love the way you can drop in the line "I landed the Sunderland here last week"!!!

    have you ever considered getting a grumman goose to do a kermie cam flight with?

    Man that's cool, its like a flying RV almost. If I were you I'd take the plane out into the water and fish, then use the wing as a platform for a small grill or skillet and have fresh fish.
    or crocodile :D

    I like the subtitles in flight -- in previous videos, it was difficult to hear your commentary.

  • @schlutorflyer
    @schlutorflyer 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The controls seem fairly sluggish, especially in roll. Plus you seem to be putting in a lot of left aileron when you are turning right. Is that an optical illusion or as it flies?? Great videos..Closest I'm going to get to flying in one!!!

    How does bringing the gear up help when in the air and the gear is totally exposed?

    its a shame that when we were young and doing routines water planes were not on the routine.
