Mr. Weeks has dedicated himself to providing an invaluable service to mankind. Not just to preserve these absolutely incredible aircraft, but maintaining them in FLYING condition and doing so in a way we can be right there with him. Sure you can see these in a museum in a static display, but he literally breathes LIFE back into them so we can enjoy them in their natural element... the AIR! Thank you Mr. Weeks. Thank you indeed.

It seems like Mr. Weeks is cleaning his computer house. Quite a few videos from years ago being published on UA-cam. I have loved all of them. Some very great planes and I am thankful that there are people like Mr. Weeks that are able to restore these historical planes and keep them flying.
The men of those days risked their lives for the changing turn of technological advancement and the men of these days demonstrate such achievements of menkind. Thank you for doing such a good job of reminding us all of the incredible and history changing journey of the flying machine.
Kermit Weeks and his wonderful flying machines. It is wonderful in 2017, we can see many of the aviation flying aircraft still go up in the air. Thank you.
I have a wood propeller that Curtiss used on their JN-4 aircraft. It is 102 inches long and the tips are sheathed with copper. This footage is magnificent.
I felt like I was watching some sort of past aviator travelling through time into the present day and flying around in our modern skies. Especially when the Curtiss taxied past the Helicopter at the end. Nicely done Kermit! And team!
While I love your videos of the warbirds, this one has brought the biggest smile to my face. Looks like hard work to fly but the joy would be unbelievable.
In my flight simulator, MSFS9, I've flown Glen Curtis' flight from Albany to New York city. Quite the fun time, replicating historic flights ! Wonderful to see this bird flying! Peace and Love from Canada
I would never have believed such a thing could fly but heck it DID and beautifully. Brilliant piloting skills. That was very special both for the pilot and all viewers. They must have thought they were seeing visions when they saw that flying over them. I really get it and loved watching your pride and joy flying like a bird. Just beautiful and congratulations . Keep the vintage in the air. Peter
There’s something so beautiful about this, seeing one of the first Machines flyin is not in incredible but I can’t help but wonder what it was like seeing it fly for the first time.
My Grandfather flew as a passenger in something like this about a Century ago! He was about 16 or so, and was so SCARED that he NEVER got in an airplane again for the rest of his life! Lived to nearly 95 !
There's actually film footage of the longest flight for a powered, heavier than air flying machine.. with a passenger looks just about like this one.. makes one proud to be human ❤ Wilbur Wright and some army guy as the passenger .. braver men than I.. the motor sounds like a B&S lawnmower engine 😳
In the 21st century, one can live many lifetimes, explore the ends of the universe, see, experience, have, become, and understand anything and everything made possible by UA-cam!
OMG how cool was THAT!?!? Perfect choice of music too. Was anyone else remembering Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? I haven't seen that movie in decades but I wonder if that music was part of the sound track. And good thing the helicopter didn't blow Kermit upside down! That video was fascinating! The people in the boat were probably thinking, "What the...?" but then they are probably used to seeing odd contraptions in the air near Kermit's airport.
That is one beautiful piece of functional art. I swear, someone could put a control stick on a washer and you could fly it. Great job to you and your team. Thank you for posting and God Bless from right here in Florida, Brooksville to be precise.
This is some great video, K. Some of the best you've ever had. Flying over Florida is such a marvelous experience I love each time as if it were my first. For those who've never had the opportunity, you brought that into their homes. That's wonderful. And what a flying machine!
Great video! Thanks! I love the Curtiss pushers as they were so much more graceful and beautiful than anything the Wright brothers ever put together. My favorite Curtiss pusher of all was the 1909 version, because it didn't have those control surfaces sticking way out in front of the pilot like this one does.
That was just totally, totally awesome kermit one day I swear I'm coming over from England to visit FOF and can't wait. Good luck with the horrible storms.
Mr K Weeks, Thank you for such a beautiful video. I can only fly in my FS-9 Sim, Golden Wings addon, with a Curtiss pusher. I've done the Hudson river flight many times. Just watching this brings a lump to my throat. Peace Love and Happiness to you and yours. An Old Flightless Bird.
I certainly enjoyed watching that. I also enjoyed the Blue Danube as the music to go along with it. I was caught back to 2001: A Space Odyessy. I found it semi-ironic that this was at the beginning of the flight, and the scene in the Pan Am shuttle craft has yet to be realized. Of course, Pan Am is no longer in existence, but still, it was two ends of the spectrum, kind of. Thanks for posting this, even if it was from five years ago! It was well worth the wait.
Fantastic Kermit, fantastic! I don't know if I've seen another video that captures the magic of flight quite so beautifully. (But next time lose the white sneakers!) Great meeting you in Campbell River (CYBL) a year ago, by the way. Stay safe and sound over the next few days with that storm coming.
The Curtis was very advanced for its time having ailerons instead of the then common practice of wing warping (twisting the structure of the wing to roll!) and tricycle undercarriage, not common till after the second world war. Its a privilege to see these vintage aircraft in their element. 🙂👍
I was amazed at how gracefully the Pusher lifted off. I expected Kermit to wrestle it into the air. Now that's flying!
I felt the same way. Especially since canards of that era tend to have more abrupt responses to pitch control. Gracefully flown and filmed.
that might actually be the coolest flying footage i've ever seen

Thank you Mr. Weeks. Thank you indeed.
I'm sure you know that is not a "preserved" 1909 Curtis model D. It is a replica built in 2009 by Dean Wilson and Jim Otey in Idaho.

Absolute JOY..... All smiles !!!! Thank you ever so much!!!
Flys so beautifully and is so stable. I watch Those magnificent men and their flying machines every Christmas
That was one of the most beautiful pieces of flight film I have ever seen. ! Music was awesome also. A joy to watch!

We now travel in aircraft without giving it a second thought, but it's still the most miraculous thing we'll ever do in our lives.
unless you become an astronaut.
Ever since I was I child, I have been trying to fly like a bird! 😀

Incredibly appropriate now that the opening scene of 2001 A Space Odisey was accompinied by it.

Super. It is nice to watch from where we have developed to present comfortable Aircraft
This is the measure of how truly brave Kermit is. Flying a collection of bedsheets and garden canes.
Thanks for taking us on an amazing flight.
Imagine driving down the highway, looking up, and seeing this antique overhead. A good day it would become
I have a wood propeller that Curtiss used on their JN-4 aircraft. It is 102 inches long and the tips are sheathed with copper. This footage is magnificent.
It's so beautiful with the classic music ❤❤

Simply BEAUTIFUL !!! THANKS, Kermit !
Today I learned: Not to wear a hat when hand swinging a prop.
Fantastic video!! Loved it.

That was Great just like the first time she flew I Thank you for your Time to shaur the love for Flute.
Those magnificent men in their flying machines comes to mind. Great stuff.
While I love your videos of the warbirds, this one has brought the biggest smile to my face. Looks like hard work to fly but the joy would be unbelievable.
Lovely video and the Johann Strauss music adds to the nostalgia.
Bonus! A Super-Constellation in the background! That being said: superb video! Thanks a bunch for sharing it with us rampants!...

there is something about seeing a person at the controls in full view that makes flying seem relatable and attainable
There’s something so beautiful about this, seeing one of the first Machines flyin is not in incredible but I can’t help but wonder what it was like seeing it fly for the first time.
no matter how old... the airpane is a beauty...
BEAUTIFUL !! ❤😊
That's the true way of flying no instruments no wind shield. Lovely video. Thanks
My Grandfather flew as a passenger in something like this about a Century ago! He was about 16 or so, and was so SCARED that he NEVER got in an airplane again for the rest of his life!
Lived to nearly 95 !
hahahahaha cant judge him!
Totally cool, very enjoyable. It looks like Kermit has to really stay on the controls but it's graceful at the same time. How far we've come.
My God that was beautiful!
Try to imagine : How beautiful was first flight of man!

gorgeous plane, great video footage, great music !!!
Great video Kermit. Best of luck with Irma. I'm sure you'll have everything strapped down as much as you can at FoF
I'd love to live in the area to see Kermit flying his treasures around...!
Great video.
It looks like it flies quite well.
The air to air is very beautiful , i 'm cryin to emoution. Congratulations from Brazil , by and good night !

This makes so happy I found this channel.
Literally like going back in time to aviation's infancy. What a trip Kermit! Well done!
working at this place is my dream! another fantastic video, thanx a lot!!
That was extremely relaxing, nice life-size drone too. Thank You.
Just magnificent, thank you Kermit!

This is the first time I have heard the Blue Danube, and not thought of the space station scene in 2001! Well done!
Few days ago I actually went through your videos to find the video of you flying it. Beautiful beast.
it's amazing the amount of advancements that were made in aviation in not so many years.

I want to buy/build one and finally learn to fly. Such a great thing you did.
Amazing video! I could not stop smiling and laughing from pure joy watching this.
Very cool airplane and very cool video. Thanks for bringing that plane back to life!
excellent video thanks. it's like watching the original flight live and reliving that Wright brothers' ocation. Thks Kermit
Estupendo reportaje. Felicidades.
We traveled back in time for a moment to the beginning of the 20th century. Wonderful
Gorgeous! Love the Strauss too!
Awesome. What a privilege to watch. Bravo!
So beautiful! Great work!!!
This is outstanding ! Thank you
Now I Know How It Was For Glenn Curtiss, America's Real Aviation Pioneer!
Amazingly graceful, as if Strauss had written the music just for you and Glenn Curtiss.
Perfect music. How beautiful!!
Beautiful .. Cant say more .. beautiful in every sec of it ...
Great to capture this on video. What an amazing machine.
That was just totally, totally awesome kermit one day I swear I'm coming over from England to visit FOF and can't wait. Good luck with the horrible storms.
Would love to fly it! It's take off and landing attitude is three-point...interesting. Great footage! Many thanks.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks!

What a wonderfull Video and very suitable soundtrack good enough for Space Odyssey 2001 as well ...what a contrast

Its a privilege to see these vintage aircraft in their element. 🙂👍
I think Glen Curtis also was the first to use a control wheel in lieu of the levers
In one word briljant, I loved every shot fom it, keep up the good work
Amazing aircraft and footage!
Fantastic! Flying reduced to the maximum!
Oh my! What a perfect contrast..your Curtiss Pusher & 2001 A Space Odyssey. This is the most beautiful video sir.
Well done! Beautiful! I would not like to try aerobatics in it. Would get tangled up with all those wires.
Kermit, you are a star! CAVU skies.
