  • Hey Kermit Weeks here. I want to share an interview I did during Sun 'n Fun 2019, that was recently broadcast on The Florida Aviation Network. The interview took place at the Florida Air Museum at the SUN 'n FUN complex, and was hosted by Ben Coleman. We covered a lot of different topics, and I thought it might be of interest to my viewers here on UA-cam. Hope you enjoy it.

    I can't thank Kermit enough for sharing his videos, I have always loved airplanes and anything to do with flight, cars have become ugly and lack any styling, it's impossible to make a ugly airplane,they are so sleek and absolutely beautiful in my eyes, Kermit brings me a lot of enjoyment with every one of his videos, thank you for your generosity Kermit.

    There is a lot of enthusiasm and dedication in this channel - and not just in terms of historical aircraft, but also human and in terms of prospects. Thanks so much. Many greetings from Denmark.

    It's good to see someone with a real passion owning these aircraft unfortunately I'm from the UK and our vintage aircraft a disappearing being sold abroad as the regulations are so strict and there just isn't the money here I'm a huge mosquito fan and it's sad to think I'll probably never see one in the air here as much as there is some groups trying its seems unlikely.

    Hey mr. Weeks.

He was my first experience with warpilotes and this interviues knock me out. if you know what I mean, I'm just a modellpilot but really enjoy what you are doing. regards...

    Kermit I also firmly believe the reason Air Museums are having such a struggle is because the lack of young people's ability to get introduced and involved in Aviation because of how expensive it can be and the lack of decent paying jobs now a days. Also the lack of School programs introducing young people to Aviation.

      masskilla469 - I am VERY lucky. My son is going to Stewart Magnet Middle School in Tampa. It's a partner school with NASA and also has curriculum in cooperation with the Civil Air Patrol. Look for a Civil Air Patrol group in your area. It's a great way to get kids involved. My son is already looking forward to joining CAP, when he turns 12.

      @masskilla.(Your screen name gives a bad first impression) "Lack of decent jobs these days"? Haha!! No! It's lack of decent help these days. All the younger people want is hand-outs. And they can't keep their mind off of playing on their phones (addiction) long enough to have a "decent" job.

      Lack of decent jobs? Right now is the best time to become a pilot. There’s a worldwide pilot shortage.

      CRISIS550166, then you haven't watched some of the interviews I've watched. He's not bad at all. And I have a degree in Communications with Journalism and Broadcast Production. I've spent my share of time behind a microphone. As a mentor of mine told me, many years ago, I have a great face for radio.
