Gorgeous!😍 I believe the Boeing museum has a model 100 on display...

You have a wonderful group of people working with you Kermit!

Congratulations, Mr. Weeks! I know your glad to have it home, after 30 years!

Nobody does an unboxing like Kermit. What a cool and rare machine that 100 is!

A little bigger unboxing than I am used to, (8 foot wing span).

My gosh Roy did an amazing job on the beautiful Airplane......Thanks Kermit & crew 👍 Old Shoe🇺🇸

Boy is that one gorgeous machine, she’s a keeper.

kermits always got the coolest 1:1 scale airplane kits!!!

An amazing coincidence that driver Buddy Chapman, after this delivery, was going back out to pick up Dreadnought; an airplane with which I have a small but significant connection. "I'm actually feeling some lift!" made me laugh out loud... that must be one helluva wing. What a beautiful airplane; I've enjoyed following the restoration. Hope to see it at Sun & Fun. Also hope that you're finding time to fly between all the plates you have spinning. Thanks as always for sharing.

Looks like a pristine job done there. Immaculate and sharp and gorgeous.

Fantastic, I’ve been following this rebuild for a long while, glad you got it done and back to FOF.

The aviation version of "The History Guy". Thank you Kermit. Now that I am living in Florida I must visit FoF again soon.👍👍

30 years waiting?? God that`s surely love.

Kermit is the Jay Leno of aircraft.

Really, Kermit perform an unboxing as a "Le etat d'art" An artist for sure.

I’m amazed that he’s still restoring more airplanes after all these years! I would love to understand how he keeps funding this. I wish Kermit would live forever and just keep restoring airplanes!

@@email4664 Go to F of F when they reopen. I used to go a couple times a year. I felt like Kermit was a friend. If he was not involved with something. He was willing to talk about the planes, ones my FIL flew in WW II It was something I miss about not being in FL.

Thank you "Big Oil"

🤐 LOL, yep, I read your comments Kermit, so now moving right along. I saw how much sweat was on the Chapman trucker's T shirt, so I guess it was pretty warm in that big container. What a great day to finally have one of your precious art works returned back into your care! Looking forward to the next video of the Boeing 100 getting it's wings put on. Thank you so much. Kiwi David 🇳🇿

What a beautiful aircraft! So glad it could be saved. Now to put the wind beneath its wings!

It is gorgeous! Congratulations! So refreshing to see it roll out of the trailer, compared to when we packed it into the container bak at WAM. I can't wait to see it again at SNF!

You definitely got a very beautiful airplane back home. She looks stunning. 👍

gday from oz,what a machine its looks like its movin when its stood still.fantastic resto, congrats.

Too cool! Great videos. Thank you.

Wow ! That looks magnificent !!😊

A beautiful plane from a bygone era. Fantastic! Can't wait for Kermi to take it up with a camera and give us all a ride. Salute o7!

Absolutely beautiful machine...

That is a Beautiful Plane! I like the Color!

It is gorgeous. Love the colors too!

Thanks for the video Kermit, after the last couple days, I needed this so very much.

WOW That is a beautiful plane

My god what a beautiful machine.

It would be nice to see her flying again. Glad to see her back at FOF where she belongs.

What a Beauty ! WOW 😍👍

Dang that's a beautiful plane!!

Beautiful bird!

That is one beautiful plane.

That is one beautiful restoration! I’d love to see it in person.

Two words, "Foam Pads!" Oh, good, I finally see them.

Just freaking FANTASTIC!

Never thought I'd be so enthralled with watching a video of them unboxing an aircraft but yet here I am and I agree with Kermit that's not a plane that is a piece of art, What a Beautiful biplane!

WHAT A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL AEROPLANE !!--AND THAT BEAUTIFUL ENGINE !!--I COULD LOOK AT FOREVER ! --AND WHAT A WONDERFUL CREW,-THAT CERTAINLY "KNOW THEIR OATS"-

Thanks for another great video Kermit. It was interesting. Beautiful aircraft Kermit. Very nice. Everyone did a great job in loading it. Got it all unloaded and in the building. Great. Hope to see it fly in the relatively near future. Wonderful aircraft. Thanks. Retired Air Force veteran.

I had a spectacular collection of aircraft when I was a young man, one that rivaled Kermit's. Perfectly detailed to the tiniest wire scale models. 😂 Kermit is beyond belief, not only owning or curating these aircraft, but flying them too. I can't begin to imagine the number of endorsements in his log. Alas, I will continue to live vicariously through these videos.

What a beautiful Machine!

Stunning !

So so so cooool!

What an awesome looking aircraft, they sound awesome too.

Fantastic !

"Hey Ken don't we have some roll around wing racks?" I was waiting for the reply. "Yes we do, but they're all full Kermit" So many projects....LOL

Beautiful restoration, but 30 years is crazy. Sounds more like a patronage, but there's nothing wrong with that if that's how it worked out.

Pure art ❤

0:56 Guys standing in the hangar doorway: “Oh, kack, here comes another one, where are we gonna put it?” 😂

Wow, what a beautiful plane!

Toutes mes félicitations et tous mes encouragements ...C·est super de voir ça !!...

This was great.! "We could just put it on the airplane..." FTW.

Perfection is sometimes worth waiting for

That upper wing has been sitting so long, does it need a punch test? Absolutely a beautiful bird...

Way cool Kermit ,made my day.😀

What a beautiful airplane!

This is the one I was waiting for, can't wait to see her fly!

Love it! Thanks so much!

That Boeing is beautiful! Can't wait to see it assembled and flying.

For most of us working class guys we are used to fresh out of the box is hoping it's a good lunch. 😁👍 I'm happy you share . Even if I can't afford what you get it's nice to see you enjoy and at least we get to live through you. It's like watching travel shows of places in Europe I've been. I see other's eat and drink. I drool a bit but can't taste it.

I'm glad you showed some clips of your visit to Roy's shop those many moons ago. All those variations of the same aircraft. Youve got one home (Kewl!). If you want someone to crank on the handle...

I remember this ship in Miami.. Fantastic rebirth… Terry&ThePirates South Florida

Congrats on this beautiful bird. I volunteered at POF Chino for several yrs non A&P but lent helping hand. I appreciate the history of your restoration team & POF. Hope see fly soon.

Kermit, I love how you suggest what you want, by asking a question. My lady does that. 😎

Very interesting.thanks for shareing.what a beautie

I had been wondering how this project was going, happy to finally get an update on it!

Very cool plane, can't wait to see it flying.

Those guys at Fantasy of Flight are awesome 💪🤛 they did great job keeping the fantasy alive ✈️

So freaking cool!! Congrats on the project getting to this point. Can't wait to see it assembled and ready for flight.

Would love to see Boeing 100 fly again.

Man, I know what it's like to get a new RC airplane, I can't imagine how thrilled Kermit is when these show up at his doorstep!

Great video Mr. Weeks! Gorgeous aircraft

Congrats over and over!

When I see the area I used to tour. That’s now the maintenance, storage. (As Kermit intended) I really want to get back to FL to see the new digs. I remember him talking about it.

Pretty airplane in the two tone green. (the light color looks like a pale greenish grey to me at the moment)(brings to mind some Seaboard Air Line passenger train diesels in 1950s painted a light minty green hue which camera film usually interpreted as white) Plane fits in trailer in a manner not overly unlike how the ten pound housecat fits in a shoebox a bit off to my left.

Thats the spirit of MADE IN USA ALWAYS POWERFUL

Great to see you posting content again Wizzard.

Never stopped!

I agree with Kermit it's a piece of art (valuable art 30 years in the making!) ...Beautiful

The Wizard of Orlampa never ceases to amaze. FOF is on my bucket list, and I'll gladly pay for a back, or right side ride with the maestro. Kermit I know you were based in South FL for years, curious if you knew my uncle, Jim Hill, had a FBO at FLL in 70's - 80's. South Florida Aircraft. They specialized in Beagle 206's.

Very beautiful plane, it is a work of art, especially the details on the engine. Hope to see her fly soon!

That crew led by Kermit sure knows how to make an easy job look real hard. Nice aeroplane.

Moving a $$$$$ plane is never an easy job!

Beautiful aircraft, can't wait to see it together and the Kermit Cam of you flying it. Thanks for sharing!!

Kermit, I would highly recommend you have 2 young guys for every 1 old timer in your shop. Just looking at it from an outsider's perspective, you've got about 5-10 more years out of your core team. What you're doing is so important, i'd hate to see the expertise retire.

I remember before Andrew you flew one of these to Richards field. we all watched you depart and how great it climbed out going toward Tamiami

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Thanks for the video and your care of aviation history, inspiration, and enlightenment to the accomplishments of others.

Ken was a bit of a worry on the forklift.

Gorgeous!!

that's a beautiful airplane. looking forward to seeing it in the air where it belongs. I love the colors - very PNW

Every time I see that twisted pile of Aircraft Anxiety in a flash back, my tummy does a bit of a flip. o~0 Andrew was not kind that day.

Absolutely art. ❤

I think the "Wasp" engine series was built by P&W; the equivalent of Wright would have been the "Whirlwind". Apart of that: What a gorgeous plane, absolute excellent work!

A legend, a jewel of aviation. Nothing to add, just thanks for the great video.

What a BEAUTIFUL project!!!!!!! Looking forward to the maiden!!!!!!!!

Absolute airplane jewelry!

Kermit does so much for aviation history. So glad has shared alot of this footage

SO beautiful!!!

I remember hurricane Andrew vividly. I was in Miami by that time. 31 years ago. I can't believe how fast time runs.

PARABÉNS PELA FILMAGEM, LINDO AVIÃO ANTIGO NOVINHO 👍👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇧🇷

Kermit , you must have been devastated after hurricane Andrew. This one looks great.
