Charles is like the Jay Leno of old airplanes. What he has, runs and he knows the history behind it as well as the unique stories that had me wondering, “How will he top the story he just told?” A gentleman, a great story teller, a living history museum, and a Texan. The best of everything.
Jimmy, you have to consider yourself blessed to have had the opportunity for this conversation. I am not an aviator myself, found your channel thanks to the algorithm. I will listen to anyone who has a passion about their collection and is willinig to share the amazing stories that come with it. You have a fantastic channel.
His stories and knowledge multiply the significance and add so much value to the collection as a whole. Very worthwhile, and thanks to our gracious host.
So So worth watching. didn't skip but did pause a few times to school my self on the people mentioned. A true saviour of a living history. Every single one looked like it just rolled off the line...
If this video would have been twice as long and I could listen to Charles telling his stories, I would have watched it. Just amazing, real aviator. Thanks Charles, Jimmy and great camera work Silas!
This is likely my favorite jimmy's world video of all time. I love that guy and his history and his planes. I would love to see him fly a few. As a Texan i would love to go visit him and thank him for sharing his love of flying with those of us who love it too..
I hope Charles reads the comments here and accepts my thanks for the tour he gave Jimmy. VERY informative and interesting...he's quite a man. What a collection of history and the perfect spokesman able to tell their stories.
This is one of the MOST FACINATING episodes ever! I love the history Charles speaks of and he seems emotionally attached to everything he has in those hangers. Worth the watch and THANK YOU for sharing...
I love Charles' shirt. The song, by the same title by Merle Haggard, will be in my mind all day. Chalres is a facinating guy with a facinating collection and lots of great stories.
I've never appreciated you, Jimmy, more than now. Texas and Oklahoma is so blessed to have such great aviators with great and colorful histories, and aircraft collections. Thank you for all you do.
The Smithsonian museum should contract with a documentary photographer to record every piece of history this man has lived along with his memories of aviation. He and his family are living examples of aviation lore.
My friend Don Lockwood joined IMAC in 1921 at age 10. His dad was a case associate of Sam Insull and thus quite wealthy. He presented his son in 1927 with an Hisso powered surplus Standard. In return Don would make occasional flights from Chicago to Windsor Ontario for renewal of liquor supplies for his dad's private use. Don would navigate by the railroad tracks and if he returned after dark picking up the light from the steel mills was all he needed to get back to the south side field. His dad lost a great deal with the market crash so Don went to the steel mills to work and a bit later to Matty Laird's company at Orchard field.
Thank you Jimmy and thank you Charles Cook! Charles and his collection are a treasure of aviation history. Charles, for an aviation buff, you are so down to earth and a pleasure to spend time with. Keep up the good work!
When I was 4 or 5 years old my brother worked at a book bindery. One day he brought home a black hard cover book that he gave me as a present showing sketches with a brief yet detailed explanations of every airplane, glider and rotorcraft made from the beginning of flight to at that time in 1960. Thank You, Charles Cook for your graciousness allowing us to see your collection and Jimmy, making this UA-cam video I "Liked" it with "Thumbs Up", "Subscribed" + choosing "All"
Absolutely the most interesting gentleman you have had on. My Dad was from the era and flew many of those types. The stories he told were very similar and brought back good memories. My Dad built the Studebaker engine plant in Detroit, during the war, and rolled the wheels of a Bathtub Eronica on the roof one day and when he got back to the airport the police were waiting for him. Had to prove he was the superintendent on the job, and they let him off. Of course, sense he flew I had to also and flew 42 years. I am so glad there are those that can keep this history going. Cheers to him, Lee
Well, that 85 minutes went fast. I was totaly engrossed in Charles' amazing story telling about the unique history of these fabulous airplanes of old! More amazing memories and outstanding stories of early aviation development per square foot than anywhere else I've visited over my life. Of course, watching Jimmy contort his not-so-small lanky airframe into these contraptions and then extracate himself was pure hilarious. A superbly done video! 😀 I'll have that Porsche 911SCW though!
Home repair contractor here, love your videos. Had to give a shout out on the $1.00 Kwik Set brass door striker plate on that first production Cessna. Genius
Fascinating visit, a fabulous Collection,, a real Collector with a fantastic expertise. A low-profile Gentleman, sharing is knowledge with the viewers.
This is a guy you could spend an afternoon with.and still not get all the knowledge he has. He is a wealth of information from early aviation, I would like to see Ken Burns do an extensive documentary on him and his planes.❗️🇺🇸
I like the interview with Charles Cook. That was one of your best ones to date very informative. Kept me glued to the TV. You knocked it out of the park you and your son Jimmy good job.🎉
I was hesitant to click on this video, Jimmy. I'm glad I did. Guys like this need to be recorded as when they are gone, so is the history. We need the stories, not just the specs on some "old airplane". We need to remember those before us, and what they did.
Hi Jimmy. Been watching your channel for a few years. The biplane episode is by far my standout episode. Incredible interesting and educational. An incredibly nice and knowledgeable person. Deserves all those ridiculously cheap hangars.
A very generous, charming and interesting gentleman. Thank you for your love of aviation, sharing your collection and stories with us. It’s the stories behind the aircraft that really make this collection special.
Original 1980 MSRP around $32,000. For sale/auction now with 55K+ miles will go for around $40,000 and up. The low mileage car in this video would probably go for much more. (if it was ever going to be sold…which I doubt)
That’s a 911 SC weissach (vee sock). I have one of those that I inherited from my step father! That’s awesome!! According to someone in the know that I have spoken to in the past, of the 200 made (200 in champagne, 200 in silver) there are only about 86 left around.
I grew up in the front hole of the CRG in the 70's, 80's and 90's. She's looking gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished metalwork as well. I'm enjoying seeing the airplane come back to it's original form. Pete used to mention possibly removing the turtle deck when it came time to restore her. Unfortunately, that time never came. I spent a good bit of time in the CTO as well after Gordon sold it. It was well cared for and very much enjoyed! Great memories all around! Best of luck to you and enjoy the WACO's!!
Jimmy, this is a wonderful video. I really enjoyed it. thank you. If you would love to see more aviation history from back in the day, head up to Ct. and see if you can get into Sikorsky Aircraft. Igor was making fixed wing before he invented the Helo and there is a ton of history to be found there. I was an employee there for 32 years and I have met and spoken to his son several times. They are a fantastic family.
What a grand gentleman! What a wonderful life he has, i am truly impressed at his collection and his sense of style, we could all use him as a role model! Thank you sir for sharing your wonderful collections!👍👍🙂 the “rosebud” comment really hit a home run what a great comment!
Great video, I totally enjoyed it! I was never a pilot but I was a door gunner on a Marine Corps helicopter during my first tour in Vietnam. Tom Boyte GySgt. USMC, retired Vietnam 1965-66/1970-71 El Mirage, Arizona
Wow, Jimmy! Wish my dad was still alive to see this. He started out in a tail dragger, a t-craft., but even earlier in the late thirties he had his first plane ride as a kid on grass strip, and I wonder if it was like one of those. What is so cool is that they are all still flying and beautifully maintained.
Watch your film. reminds me of the twenty years of absolute fun I had in two different Stearmans I was part owner in ! I'm 87 now and just loved to fly!
Jimmy you always make fantastic content but wow I feel to date this was your best video .. Great job Thanks for finding this gem of a history to share !! Other Aviation content creators should use this as a templet ... Keep them coming !!
Comet kitted the C3 on Edo floats. Cute model of about 13 inch span and Flys pretty good to. Their Aeronca K kit of 25 inch span is on floats too and is a good flyer. I am completing one enlarged to 36 inches also on floats. The original shared the same engine as the C3
Let's see if someone defames him after viewing this? He needs to think about multi engine aircraft added to is collection.. A DC-3??? That collection is amazing!
@@woofaero defamation: To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence; and 4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject. Yes, the Texas court found Gryder guilty of defaming Cook. But no trial by jury, and according to Gryder, he was not properly served by an officer of the court or designated representative. So from a technical standpoint, it appears to be a frivolous lawsuit. From a proof standpoint 1) was not proven nor could it be, 2) was easily proven via UA-cam video, 3) would be difficult to prove, and 4) appears to be impossible to prove given the financial resources Mr. Cook apparently owns. Harm to reputation is not the same as harm by hurt feelings. But Gryder’s remarks may have been hurtful and unnecessary to be sure. Regardless, I believe the court awarded a default judgement to Mr. Cook because Gryder did not appear in court, which was understandable if he was not served a court summons.
This is unexpectedly fantastic viewing! So much early aviation history and knowledge unlocked right here with Charles. Aviation in his very DNA, and he’s happy to share it. Particularly enjoyed the tribulations of Jimmy trying to fit in these planes. Loved the story of the Robin - a legacy of the days when people trusted each other! 👍🏻
Jimmy, Beyond the shadow of a doubt, THE Best video ever. The level of knowledge of aviation history is astounding. I could listen to him for hours. Thank you Blue Skys
Thanks Jimmy, for getting this video posted! I'm not a pilot but, through good fortune, have been at the controls of a 1929 Travel air, a 1943 Stearman, plus few Cessnas. and to see all there beautiful plane being so well cared for was a real treat. Keep up the great work and really, looking for a "part 2" of this video to see into some of his other hangers!

What a lovely gentleman. Could listen for hours.😊😊😊
I was thinking the same thing! There’s not enough time to just walk around, sit and listen to a real interesting history lesson 😊 He’s a gem !
Exactly my thoughts too, what a genuine kalm and knowledgeable gentleman!
me too and additionally I could have a sleep over in his hangar :DDD
Totally could listen to his stories for hours
His stories and knowledge multiply the significance and add so much value to the collection as a whole. Very worthwhile, and thanks to our gracious host.
Mr Charles Cook I could sit and listen to you all day. Love every minute and story you have. Jimmy Bravo on this episode.
THIS was DEFINITELY WORTH the time to watch.
i didn't fast forward one moment, in fact I rewound certain parts and watched them multiple times. Great interview and tour.

I was... Oh man, It's over already?
It was the fastest hour and a half I have ever experienced.
That’s going to be hard to top , Jimmy. What a great bunch of stories he had.

I don't know anybody with as much aviation legacy as this guy, this is insane.
This man is the definition of “living the dream “. I’m so happy for him and to see and hear his story. Thanks for sharing!
What a cracking video. Great to to hear Charles's stories. Could listen to him all day.
I wonder what this Gentleman did for Work. It’s Awesome that he was able to collect all the things that he loves. Awesome Video

I love this. Iam 82 in a month and loved flying especially the Idaho backcountry.
thank you so much for sharing and thank you for your love of early aviation and preserving these pieces of history
I love hearing these stories and their relationships with friends & family.
"Weissach" is the name of the Porsche, for anyone interested. It's a special trim package.
Original 1980 MSRP around $32,000. For sale/auction now with 55K+ miles will go for around $40,000 and up. The low mileage car in this video would probably go for much more. (if it was ever going to be sold…which I doubt)
It is good to see a collector who looks after his collection. Something that seems to be very rare.
You dont have many like this in aviation anymore. Fun to listen too
41:30 you can tell this one means a lot to him he teared up almost
Great video. I hear Cook is trying to add a pound puppy DC3 to his insatiable collection 😮. Gonna need to ‘repurpose’ another hangar.
I hear Thanks Dan!!!!!! will be painted on the nose.

Is this the guy who put the 2 overweight guys in his Champ?
No. He is the guy who bought it, restored it, and sold it.
Hard to believe that with his knowledge and experience that he would encourage them to fly that champ being so overweight.
@@Iflyagrasshopper There is no evidence that this occurred.
Rumors ? Really ? The man has more accomplishments on his own than most of us
I could listen to this man’s stories all day. I love the stories on old Aviation
Isn’t this the guy that sued Dan Gryder for defamation?
Yes it is, good catch!
Yep, and Charles won $1M. I can't stand Dan Grinder.
Back story
Let's see if someone defames him after viewing this? He needs to think about multi engine aircraft added to is collection.. A DC-3???
That collection is amazing!

The guided tour was very much appreciated and educational. Thank you gentlemen
This is the guy suing Dan Grider, so he may soon be able to add Dan's DC-3 to his collection.
I'm pretty sure he already won. Dan really smeared him bad, I'm not a fan.
I think it is unlikely that he will get his airplane. But I think he will get the proceeds from it.
