Hello! I'm the guy, who built this X-Wing in his company located in Germany - together with eigth more Fighters. It was hard work with a satisfying result. I'm proud to see, that some of them are still alive - and are visited - despite some mosquitos. Thanks for the film...
Yes, me too, I also built it along side Bernd. He probably won’t remember me because I was just the guy who stared the pots for the various glues and paints. What a victory for the rebellion!
Great job, even from the fence it looks awesome! If you could build these to order there would absolutely be a market for them, depending on copyrights etc…
I believe this is one of the 3, 3/4 scale Xwings made for promotion in the 90s. One is at the Denver Wings over the Rockies museum and has been restored by local fans.
www.aymnetwork.com/full-scale-lifesize-x-wing-sale-e-bay I cant find the article I remeber reading that detailed where the 3 known ones are, but this could have been the one bought on ebay years ago.
It's one (of seven) of the 3/4 scale Promotional models created by Panasensor (Fox Studios Berlin) for the Special Editions theatrical release. We have one at the Wings Over The Rockies Air Museum in Denver. I'm on the restoration team. :)
Thank you for teaching your fans/viewers that Trespassing is wrong. You set a good example Adam. God bless you! You are only a handful of vloggers who does not curse, you are a rare bread.
Come up to Kent, Ohio and go to a restaurant called Mike's Place. The owner built an X-Wing fighter and it's sitting outside the restaurant. I'm sure you'd love it, not to mention they have really good food.
I lived in a town where the County fire department painted their trucks white (mostly; they had a thin yellow stripe down the side too). They still exist, although red is more common.
The Woo.....tramping through the (Bug infested!) woods & I'm thinking...another natural bridge?.... naw.....a local lookout?.....naw...a really cool waterfall? Maybe.....But of course, who else but the Woo goes walking in the woods & comes up with an life size Xwing fighter from Star Wars!!! Adam, I don't know where you headed mate, but by golly I am gonna follow you every step of the way!
After clicking a title that literally says he found an x-wing, you were really wondering what he was going to show us? And your first guesses were a natural bridge, local lookout and waterfall? Can't pull anything over on you.
I'm sure it's already been mentioned but please check yourself for ticks, I'm in MD. My daughter was 4 when she had Lyme disease. Thankfully we got her antibiotics in time. Safe travels, loved the vlog!
Adam, my family and I got to see Large Marge in Pigeon Forge a little while ago. Got some family photos infront of your Majestic. It was raining like crazy, wish we could have met you! We watch you on UA-cam nearly every night. Keep up the amazing work you do!
Because this X-Wing is well known to everyone in northern virginia (and perhaps beyond) so they receive countless 'tourists' and trespassers (as you can see from the extended fencing) and have made it known from signs out front and other things that they don't want visitors knocking on their door.
I live near that big roller skate, but the roller rink there closed down, i think its a truck stop now or something. Its kinda cool that I recognize everything. I pass that barn alot
You should invest in a drone and then go back there and do a fly over of the X-Wing and see what you can see from a higher elevation. It would be cool to see an overhead view of it.
That is NOT from any Star Wars movie!! The original one that Mark Hamill sat in was a wooden prop built by boat makers. It was dismantled after filming wrapped as they didn't plan to have another Star Wars movie because no one knew at that time that it would be so popular. There is documentation and pictures on the modeling forums that confirms this. All the sets were destroyed and then thrown onto the Shepperton Studios backlot. There are even pictures of Harrison Ford posing in what used to be part of the Millennium Falcon set. What you have filmed is a FAN MADE X - Wing that was on display in one of the shopping malls on the Star Tours attraction. How much this sold for is anyones' guess. Thanks for posting this any way.
Adam,remember the Original Battlestar Galctica? when I was on summer vacation up the coast,my family and I saw "coming soon battlestar galactica" and we got to see one of the Viper ships up close..that reminded me of this X wing :)
Good early morning Adam, that was quite a trek. I'm up early too - hubby and I are leaving today for our first trip to Disneyland, super excited. Been to WDW many times but never the original. Have a good day.
That fence wasnt tall, i would have jumped it and spent a few minutes looking at that X-Wing up close. If i go there, i will tell you all about the interior cockpit and front view. Sometimes you just have to take the chance, Woo.
Sorry to bust everyone bubbles, but that particular X-Wing is not an original prop from the Star Wars movie. What Adam did find was one of nine replica X-Wings that were made by the company, Pana Sensor, in 1995 in promoting the Star Wars trilogy to home video.
hard to tell, there ARE a couple full size xwings out there, the '95 ones were only 3/4 scale and had glaring proportion errors. this doesnt look like those
There is a full size or 3/4 size X Wing at the Denver Wings over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. Its pretty bad ass. It has a full size R2D2 in the back.
Maybe one day the owner will sell it to a Star Wars collector, who in turn, will let other Star Wars Fans enjoy it. What a shame it's hidden up there in the woods.
Bama MoonDog.....I'm guessing the guys significant other said he could keep it...but it's not coming in the house....I'm also guessing he doesn't want everyone and their cousin tromping through his property and possibly damaging the x-wing
adam, not all firetrucks are painted red even today, some are red, some are lime green, some are yellow, some are orange, it just depends on the city as to how the trucks are painted ! take it from a firefighter !
They say that it’s a replica. The guy who owns it was actually a former X-Wing Pilot for the Rebellion, but in an attempt to retreat from a battle, he set random coordinates for a hyperspace jump & ended up in our solar system, landing on Earth and living as a normal citizen ever since.
I live 5 minutes from that rest stop. It was closed down for awhile because of bad activity going on there and they did a small remodeling. I no where that x-wing is.Its behind my sister in-laws house about a 15 minute hike. So cool you where right there. Wish I new.
Fantastic, as always! Loved seeing the 1:1 X-wing! I am surprised, however, with you being such a history buff, and pass up epic Civil War battlefields? Especially Manassas?
Jim Felton A little trivia: there is a town called Felton in CA with a Big Foot museum. Thought of this when I saw your name and Woo's car air freshener.
In one year in the 80s they made white fire trucks because when the red trucks rusted it was very expensive to repaint it but white paint was not very expensive to repaint I hope that answered your question!
Ursus americanus (black bear) is the only species of bear in this area of the country and unless you walk up on a den (which is super unlikely due to the residential proximity) you would never know they were ever in the woods with you. Source: myself, 23 years living in heavily wooded Pennsylvania forestland. :)
red is a traditional color for fire trucks, but yellow is also a popular color, in fact it is recommended for trucks that go on the highway and runways which is why the trucks at most airports are yellow. there is also a variation on yellow that has a greenish tinge which is referred to as slime lime. white is probably the third most popular color for fire trucks followed by green or blue which are fairly rare. a company near me has a burgundy color that they have mixed up for them only. the only way other fire trucks have this specific color is if they purchase one of this company's trucks used. in fact I believe they used to request you repaint them after purchase but I'm not 100% on that.
I'm from UK and it's a bit shocking how where you are exploring looks exactly like where I live. The only difference is you drive on the wrong side lol.😀
Most likely not an original movie setpiece. The Star Wars films (except 2 of the prequels) were all shot in the U.K. Back then, set pieces would be demolished after use, and it would've been pretty unusual to ship something like that overseas.
Times changed mighty quickly. When I was a kid in the 90s my parents and I always stopped and ate at those rest stop picnic tables! I guess that was about 20 years ago :/
OMG!!!! THATS FRIEKEN AMAZING .. THANK YOU ADAM, I NEVER KNEW THAT EXISTED.. THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT TO YOUR VLOG, AND SHARING THAT.. THAT PROPERTY OWNER MUST BE THE LUCKIEST PERSON ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH!! lol.. Awesome!
I'm only 10 miles from there. You can actually see it using Google Earth and the historical imagery feature, just go back a few clicks to 4/2015 and 4/2016.
They should open it to the public and charge a small fee to help maintain the craft. What an amazing find.i myself have only steed foot on a scale replica
10300 Hickory Forest Dr, Oakton, VA Use Bing maps instead of Google because the trees have no leaves. The stream is the Rocky Branch. All those houses in that hood are mc-mansions. Who ever owns that X-Wing has 7100 sq ft.
No Adam, that is one of the lost 3/4 scale X-wings. we have one at the 'Wings Over the Rockies' Air and Space Museum that we are renting from Lucas Films Ltd. It was one of 12 or 13 sent out around the world to promote the Star Wars Episode 1 and the re-release of the Original Movies to theaters. Lucas Films has been looking for those but most were lost. There are only three known to be left in existence. You may have found a fourth.
The three known to be in existence are the one here in Denver, Colorado at Wings over the Rockies, one in Japan and one in Australia. At least that is what I've heard. That is one of the lost 3/4 scale X-Wings.
@TheDailyWoo I used to live in this neighborhood! this was a cool video to chance upon. i've been up there a few times, it really is breathtaking. By the way when you passed by that pond that was private property as was the land leading up to the X-wing. i've been chased off before :P As for the owner of the X-wing the dude owns a company that sells the internet to service providers, take that as you will haha. Anyways, i'm glad you got to see it. good for you!
You always find amazing gems away from the normal paths of travel!! That find was so cool! You are awesome!! Enjoy your Saturday!! See you tomorrow. God bless you!!
Adam - the backyard you traveled through the forest to reach was accessible by a main road. It's a subdivision actually. Info from reddit and Google maps.
Drove by the Giant Single Rollerskate going south to Myrtle Beach. Cracked me up that this was one of the last videos I saw before I left. Nice. Great Video.
Welcome Adam from Rockville, MD. Your not that far from here now. Ive lived here a long time and been out that way plenty of times and never knew that X wing was there. Pretty freaking cool!
Hi Adam! The X-Wing is one of several 3/4 scale (not full) versions made in the 90s as part of a tour promoting a home video release of the trilogy. No film-used fullscale ships were able to split the wings in "attack" position like this one is. The two built for the original trilogy (one for Star Wars, and another for Empire Strikes Back and reused for Return of the Jedi) were trashed after filming, and there are vintage photos of them as piles of junk behind Elstree studios. Still a fun find, thanks for sharing!
Wow Adam you confirmed it! A stroll through the woods is well rewarded with the sight of a an X-wing! It does exist. Also...That's a Fire engine convertible! Pretty cool lookin!
The Laser Cannons are mounted wrong. If you look on the sides of the tubes on the wing tips, you will see two small thin tubes connected to a rectangular piece. That detail is supposed to be on the opposite side of the lasers, facing outwards, not on the inside, like seen here. This is either fan made, or it was assembled wrong.
Hello! I'm the guy, who built this X-Wing in his company located in Germany - together with eigth more Fighters. It was hard work with a satisfying result. I'm proud to see, that some of them are still alive - and are visited - despite some mosquitos. Thanks for the film...
Yes, me too, I also built it along side Bernd. He probably won’t remember me because I was just the guy who stared the pots for the various glues and paints. What a victory for the rebellion!
EXCELLENT WORK! Now, turn it into an Airbnb, Id pay good good money to stay a few nights in it.
I also made it
@@nicpowell8949 me too
Great job, even from the fence it looks awesome! If you could build these to order there would absolutely be a market for them, depending on copyrights etc…

Impressive.....most impressive
heck yes!
TheDailyWoo Go see Dave Hughes...
Tyblorg
He should stop by for the pizza :D
Sorry but Star Wars is not real 100percent fake
Jessica Roth Well No Duh Sherlock This Is A Replica X-Wing
Who buys a full size x-wing, then hides it in the middle of the woods to sit and rot?
But he is a dick anyway...
A very selfish dick?
where>?
zoom in...is that Darth Vader standing just in front of the X Wing?
g4macdad I would equip the thing with turbines and a car engine and fly it
Wow that is too awesome Adam!!! Wish I could have been there to see that X-Wing with my own eyes! 😁🙌🏻
it was incredible. Hope all is well buddy
How long did it take you to hike up there?
Magic Journeys you guys should do a cross over episode
I saw one just like it at a Star Wars convention in Los Angeles 2007, "Impressive....most impressive!"
All you guys are dumb
The S-foils should be closed when it's parked
Well red leader said to lock them in attack position, soooooo
? Bruh what
KUBI BUBI its nerd stuff, not for you
@@heyahhhnold yep
Not if they have to do repairs.
Great find! I heard about this a couple years ago.
May The vlogs be with you
seriusly, by the way May the fourth be with you.
It's crazy that it's in the middle of nowhere rather than in a museum or something! Would have been cool if it was in a swampy area!
Its not in the middle of nowhere. Its in someones backyard
@@davidjones-wy3ln Who hurt you?
You used the force, and found it.... Pretty cool.
Only Adam the Woo can find a freak-in X wing in the middle of nowhere
robert smith Using his Colombo like research! ,👍
Maybe he used the Force...
It's spelled "spelled", not spelt, dude.
You ain't speaking in the past nitwit, you can dish it but you dumb fucks can't take it.
that's how spell check corrected it. I know it was wrong
I went and saw this today....still there!
No you didnt
they missed a great opportunity for free advertising at the Graffiti House :(
DjTechnoid as usual
DjTechnoid didn't they notice who he was did he tell him that he is Adam the woo and he had over a million followers
DjTechnoid your assumption is they wish to work....getting paid for nothing worth seeing, suits them.
Come up to Kent, Ohio and go to a restaurant called Mike's Place. The owner built an X-Wing fighter and it's sitting outside the restaurant. I'm sure you'd love it, not to mention they have really good food.
Geeky Boo The whole restaurant is interesting
Happy Saturday out there
Greetings from Oslo,Norway
can't sleep now.. thanks Oslo :P
London, Ontario Canada :P
Sorry :)
Hvor i Norge bor du??
Where in Norway do you live??
Where in UK do you live Denise??
I got family in Ipswich,suffolk
Okidoki. Tht can be a lot of places but I respect your privacy...
Use the force, woo...
man, that belongs in one of the more well known museums. should not be sitting out in the elements like that. Awesome.
Nice find!! You would think something that rare and valuable would be at least covered, out of the elements.
This is 10 minutes from my place and I had no idea it was there. Learn something new every day.
Wow !
TheDailyWoo loved the video!!
TheDailyWoo awesome video Adam! I gotta check this out dock! 😊👍
TheDailyWoo well put...
The Force was with you Adam....the Force lead you right to the Xwing fighter! Thanks for the effort to obtain this vid!
TheDailyWoo I second that.
When I hear Murdock I think of the Ateam. how in the heck did u find that? u could tell in your voice the excitement. congrats and thanks
+David Thacker he loved it when a plan came together
I always think of MacGyver's arch nemesis Murdoc!
David Thacker I never understood why they could have a 10 minute firefight, fire hundreds of rounds of ammo, and never hit anything
David Thacker
Because the film director has 90 minutes to kill.
I think of Murdoc Niccals, the demonic bassist from Gorillaz.
Plus ive also seen old fire trucks that era also in white, yellow and a light green.. but red is definately my favorite.. have a great day everyone
I lived in a town where the County fire department painted their trucks white (mostly; they had a thin yellow stripe down the side too). They still exist, although red is more common.

The Woo.....tramping through the (Bug infested!) woods & I'm thinking...another natural bridge?.... naw.....a local lookout?.....naw...a really cool waterfall? Maybe.....But of course, who else but the Woo goes walking in the woods & comes up with an life size Xwing fighter from Star Wars!!! Adam, I don't know where you headed mate, but by golly I am gonna follow you every step of the way!
cool
After clicking a title that literally says he found an x-wing, you were really wondering what he was going to show us? And your first guesses were a natural bridge, local lookout and waterfall? Can't pull anything over on you.
of course, posing it with it's s-foils in attack position instead of landed position is just wrong in the technical sense.
not if it crashed.
Just 2 miles from where I used to live. Hiked all over that area and never knew about that X-Wing thing. Way cool......
I was so hopeing for the shanka kank ka konk thing. yessssss he did it as he revealed the x-wing. awesome vlog today Adam
I'm sure it's already been mentioned but please check yourself for ticks, I'm in MD. My daughter was 4 when she had Lyme disease. Thankfully we got her antibiotics in time. Safe travels, loved the vlog!
Have a great weekend
Adam, my family and I got to see Large Marge in Pigeon Forge a little while ago. Got some family photos infront of your Majestic. It was raining like crazy, wish we could have met you! We watch you on UA-cam nearly every night. Keep up the amazing work you do!
why not knock on the door and ask if they would of let you see the whole thing in the back and have them tell the real story from the owner ?
Where's the fun in that?!? :-)
Yeah I really don't get it. Why on earth would you not try speaking to the owner?!?! Madness...
Probably because the owner may not like a mess of fans crowding his property asking to look at the X-Wing, perhaps?
David Rouson Not all of us Star Wars fans. Some maybe introverts, shy or some might get stressed out. Just sayingm
Because this X-Wing is well known to everyone in northern virginia (and perhaps beyond) so they receive countless 'tourists' and trespassers (as you can see from the extended fencing) and have made it known from signs out front and other things that they don't want visitors knocking on their door.
secret hidden endor rebel base protected by ewoks
Bob Guzman we must steal it from the ewoks
If this is guarded by Ewoks, than how is he not dead?
I live near that big roller skate, but the roller rink there closed down, i think its a truck stop now or something. Its kinda cool that I recognize everything. I pass that barn alot
8:08 for title
Harry Eames ayyy
You should invest in a drone and then go back there and do a fly over of the X-Wing and see what you can see from a higher elevation. It would be cool to see an overhead view of it.
You just March yourself right up to their house and inform them that you are Wook Skyvlogger, and you want to sit in the cockpit.
Ugh 😑
You are dumb

40 years ago today, Star Wars was released in theaters. What a perfect time to discover this video.

an authentic X-Wing prop would have Dagobah slime all over it.
And would have a Dagobah filthy price tag that would kill any normal person who does not make 6 figures a year haha.
hard to tell, there ARE a couple full size xwings out there, the '95 ones were only 3/4 scale and had glaring proportion errors. this doesnt look like those
That sounds about right. I don't recall there ever being a 1/1 scale prop with the S foils in the open position.
Look at those houses in one of the more expensive areas of Virginia.... that person is not hurting for cash...
There is a full size or 3/4 size X Wing at the Denver Wings over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. Its pretty bad ass. It has a full size R2D2 in the back.

Bama MoonDog it would appear that the owner IS a Star Wars collector. Lol
adam, not all firetrucks are painted red even today, some are red, some are lime green, some are yellow, some are orange, it just depends on the city as to how the trucks are painted ! take it from a firefighter !
That crossing the stream area looks very Blair Witchy! :)

They need to put b a roof over it before the weather destroys it.
red is a traditional color for fire trucks, but yellow is also a popular color, in fact it is recommended for trucks that go on the highway and runways which is why the trucks at most airports are yellow. there is also a variation on yellow that has a greenish tinge which is referred to as slime lime. white is probably the third most popular color for fire trucks followed by green or blue which are fairly rare. a company near me has a burgundy color that they have mixed up for them only. the only way other fire trucks have this specific color is if they purchase one of this company's trucks used. in fact I believe they used to request you repaint them after purchase but I'm not 100% on that.

no it actually weren't. It is just off the coast of Ireland and it is an old catholic monastery I think called Skellig Michael
Jude Holmes oh I heard it was in Scotland. I'm surprised I didn't know it was in Ireland. I'm actually from there XD
If only Adam had a drone to see the x wing in full view.
Times changed mighty quickly. When I was a kid in the 90s my parents and I always stopped and ate at those rest stop picnic tables! I guess that was about 20 years ago :/
that hike was WORTH IT!. THAT THING LOOKED AWESOME!.
OMG!!!! THATS FRIEKEN AMAZING .. THANK YOU ADAM, I NEVER KNEW THAT EXISTED.. THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT TO YOUR VLOG, AND SHARING THAT.. THAT PROPERTY OWNER MUST BE THE LUCKIEST PERSON ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH!! lol.. Awesome!
it is a sight to behold
The mosquitoes say, "bite you I will". Pretty cool to find that in the middle of nowhere. Looks like a lot of farm country down there.
the guys always hang out behind the rest stop ,be careful have you ever seen something about mary ?
Haha!!
May The Force Be With You. 👍
Are there no roads to the place? Do the owners have to make that trek to get home? What the heck?!
Adventures by George pretty sure they come around another way. Adam said in the video it's on the outer part of their property
Star Wars is not real
It is on the back of the property. The owners have no tresspassing signs everywhere so to see it its a mile or 2 trek thru the woods to see it.
I'm only 10 miles from there. You can actually see it using Google Earth and the historical imagery feature, just go back a few clicks to 4/2015 and 4/2016.
ticks, snakes, and bear,its all on purpose to deter you from enjoying nature
This thing isnt in the middle of nowhere. Its just in their backyard in northern virginia.
It's an early woo!

Good info. I thought it looked a bit small, especially from the aerial shot.
Wot no Ewoks, but who in their right mind keeps a full size screen used x-wing in the back garden!! Great vid Adam keep em coming!
Ah that's super cool! Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures Adam!
That....was AWESOME!
It's one thing to find a full size X-Wing fighter, it's another thing to find a fully functional X-Wing fighter!
the force is strong with you Adam...

By the way when you passed by that pond that was private property as was the land leading up to the X-wing. i've been chased off before :P As for the owner of the X-wing the dude owns a company that sells the internet to service providers, take that as you will haha. Anyways, i'm glad you got to see it. good for you!
You always find amazing gems away from the normal paths of travel!! That find was so cool! You are awesome!! Enjoy your Saturday!! See you tomorrow. God bless you!!
Adam - the backyard you traveled through the forest to reach was accessible by a main road. It's a subdivision actually. Info from reddit and Google maps.
+Constaintine A you can't get a good view of it from the road tho
If you're still near Centreville, go to Spa World and relax for a few hours. It's a Korean spa. I always go there when I'm in that area.
I'm a 48 year old dude and I would play in that X-wing 24/7, holy crap!!!
Drove by the Giant Single Rollerskate going south to Myrtle Beach. Cracked me up that this was one of the last videos I saw before I left. Nice. Great Video.
Nice! It really should be in a museum.
Unbelievable, I bet disney would love that for star wars land. Truly a magnificent find, well done Adam.
Welcome Adam from Rockville, MD. Your not that far from here now. Ive lived here a long time and been out that way plenty of times and never knew that X wing was there. Pretty freaking cool!
Hi Adam! The X-Wing is one of several 3/4 scale (not full) versions made in the 90s as part of a tour promoting a home video release of the trilogy. No film-used fullscale ships were able to split the wings in "attack" position like this one is. The two built for the original trilogy (one for Star Wars, and another for Empire Strikes Back and reused for Return of the Jedi) were trashed after filming, and there are vintage photos of them as piles of junk behind Elstree studios. Still a fun find, thanks for sharing!
The owners of Elstree studios must be complete morons for not storing them to sell later as they would be worth an absolute fortune by now.
Wow Adam you confirmed it! A stroll through the woods is well rewarded with the sight of a an X-wing! It does exist. Also...That's a
Fire engine convertible! Pretty cool lookin!
Now we need this guy to team up with the dude that made the full scale AT-ST
The Laser Cannons are mounted wrong. If you look on the sides of the tubes on the wing tips, you will see two small thin tubes connected to a rectangular piece. That detail is supposed to be on the opposite side of the lasers, facing outwards, not on the inside, like seen here. This is either fan made, or it was assembled wrong.
Adam, I am excited for you. The happiness was heard in your voice. Good for you.
That's pretty legit. Full size movie prop that was used for filming. That's pretty cool. Too bad you couldn't talk to the owner and check it out
