Mr Kermit, there may still be an opportunity for the Goose. We visited Mcminneville last year, and they said they're losing money now and the airline that sponsored the museum quit, so it's possible they might be looking for a new home for her.
1:00 He can't hide that he wants that airplane. "It ended up where it should have ended up..." shaking head no. ha ha. I believe him when he says he would fly it if he owned it...for that reason alone they should sell it to him.
The original plan was to fly it, before Michael King Smith was killed. Del and Michael we're going to try to fly it at the mouth of the Columbia River. I volunteered there in high school and Michael had already passed. The talk at the museum was what could have been

Hey Mr. Weeks, just a bit of trivia for you; That photo of Mr. Hughes sitting in the cockpit of the XF-11 was taken AFTER his crash in the airplane... How do I know that?
A legend looking at a legend. Kermit, you are making a pretty big mark in aviation history yourself that will remain long after you're gone.
I don't think he's planning to go anytime soon

Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
Love the way you ended this video. This is what history is all about - the people, what they did and how they did it.
Mr Kermit, there may still be an opportunity for the Goose. We visited Mcminneville last year, and they said they're losing money now and the airline that sponsored the museum quit, so it's possible they might be looking for a new home for her.
Excellent film footage and sound.
What a Great Still of Kermit,,, aka,,,, "Howard Weeks",,,,
A radial engined aircraft that could make the Martin Mars look almost quaint. Incredible.
Yes I think Kermit should own the Spruce Goose
A Kermie Cam of you flying the Hercules - what could have been...
Keep 'em coming Kermit! Love the videos.
The only proper owner of this airplane is Kermit. Nobody else could give it the respect it deserves.

A very dapper Kermit @5:47
I almost closed out before the last photo bomb! That's cool.

I share your wish to have met Howard, Kermit.
I love these. You haven't been making enough videos Kermit. :)
Great man. Full stop
Very interesting 👍😀
good video
I wish Kermit owned it. He'd set it up with 8 fresh R-4360's and fly it to Oshkosh.
It’s a horrible idea to let that thing fly.
Shouldn’t fly it. Can you imagine what it would take to repair the cracked spar? What else is broken that they haven’t found yet.

Great video....needed to be much longer!
4:15 448 Spark Plugs total
... nice :-)
R u like rich u said u were one of 5 people to get one or try to get one
Maybe you should look at some of the other vids of his.
Nick Smith lol.... yes and yes
Hughes was a bit wacko wasn't he ?
Define Wacko!
Yes , he was a bit eccentric, but it seems like the really gifted, hard charging types are.
kermit seems to have gone off the deep end, he used to fly, now he just reminisces. The wizard of Olampia? get a grip.
