☠BLACK BARON☠ 2:04 What a funny brain 👍 Such a great looking airplane with smooth and elegant aerodynamics. A "Meisterwerk".

Beautiful, one of the most good looking aerobatics plane.

Seems Ernst Udet is flying. Compliments!

One of the great aeroplanes and perhaps a little under appreciated. Great to see video of it.

Well it looks like my plane……Curtis had many examples to look at ; The Spad xIII the Bucker and Stearman come to mind. Four outstanding aircraft IMHO. I’d love to fly a Bucker……

Thanks for the ride!

Fantastic!

She purrs like a kitten thanx for sharing haven’t seen one of these in about 60 years

What a nice flight. Great!!! The Jungmeister is also rightly named "the stradivari of the air". There is no better sound than the original Siemens SH 14. Keep this beauty flying! One nice story of that plane: At the Cleveland Air Races in 1937, Papană and Otto Graf Hagenburg competed in an exhibition match, both in Bücker Jungmeister aircraft, Papană on YR-PAX and Hagenburg on D-EEHO. Papană made a low inverted flight in front of the grandstands, and when Hagenburg tried to copy him, his plane grazed the ground and it broke. Hagenburg himself was hardly injured. Papană then lent Hagenburg his machine so that he could finish the competition. Greets from the Bücker Country Germany

The BEST snapping airplane ever designed!!!!

He's gonna give me a haircut!

Beautiful plane.

Shes no S1 but the next best thing! The caster in the wheels is adorable. A legend!

What a sweet plane. Thanks for keeping this on airworthy and acrobatic worthy.

The legend lives on. And Kermit too… lol

I've always _LOVED_ the Bücker Jungmeister! Schweet ride ya got there!

It's such a case of "what might have been." For those who don't know, Alex Papană committed suicide near Las Vegas, in 1946. He abandoned his car, walked into the desert, and poisoned himself. He was only 39 years old. He had been an Olympic bobsledder, a competition glider and aerobatics pilot, and had helped Northrop test the P-61 Black Widow, during WWII.

Wonderful performance. I have always loved the lines of the Bückers . . . Jungmann and Jungmeister. It would be amazing if Kermit would give us a close-up tour of this aircraft and describe what she is like to fly. . . in gory detail.

Thanks for another great video Kermit. Beautiful flying Kermit. Great video to watch and such a beautiful airplane. Loved the flying routines you did and you made it look so easy. You have the touch on the stick that is for sure. Thanks for putting the airplane thru it’s paces. Was just great. You take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. Retired Air Force veteran.

The Bücker Bü 133 Jungmeister is a very able aerobatic aircraft, used for advanced aerobatic training and aerobatics in general. Used in numbers by German Luftwaffe, Swiss AF and Spanish AF, as well by private owners. Many pilots who have flown one are quite fond of the Jungmeister. Built by Bücker at Rangsdorf / Berlin, Doflug Altenrhein / Switzerland and CASA / Spain. They are very nice looking aircraft able to perform quite aesthetically aerobatics. Plus (in comparison to modern aerobatic aircraft) are the quite narrow maneuvers near to the public on airshows. BTW the engine Siemens & Halske Sh 14 was made in Spandau just next to Berlin (another well known trainer using this engine was the Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz). Later the company changed to Brandenburger Motorenwerke (Bramo), then BMW. Post war BMW built / is building their motorcycles in the same plant.

Very beautiful biplane🛫 Thank You for great video with little piece of his history and veeeeery nice landing - landing gear kissing mother Earth👌 Good Work!👍

Love those funny wheel fenders and raked forward LG's, have a Flyline Jungman model kit in my stash.

just anything that gets flown is cool to watch

Perfect snap rolls! 👍👏👏👏👏👏

Bet this makes you want to fly competition again! Such an impressive airplane. A friend of my father and mine performed flying the Jungmeister back in the 70's& 80's. It puts on a great show! Beautiful restoration!

Hi Kermit . I wondered why the Olympic rings weee on the tailplane .......now l know ! And thanks for showing us your legendary flying skills ,you don't have many opportunities to do so . Thanks Kermit .

Loved it! Thanks very much.

Not many people get to see a Bucker Flying, Great video Mr. Kermit.....🙃

Thank You Kermit! That is very interesting history.

That was great. You clearly love flying that machine!

Yes, sometimes you it is so obvious when an epic pilot loves an airplane he is flying. This is one!

1:28 Love it!! Cheers!!

Thanks Kermit....Shoe🇺🇸

Thank you for posting

Neat little plane!

Great video!!

Nice formation snap barrels Kermit. Great height loss at the end. You plan to keep that Bücker Jungmeister?

Did I miss something here? Kermit knows aviation history as good or better than just about anybody. Maybe Papana once owned this Jungmeister befor Bevo.

Romanian pilot Alex Papana brought that Jungmeister to the United States crated in the airship Hindenburg and flew it at the 1937 Cleveland Air Races. Mike Murphy reregistered the airplane as his own and flew it to win the 1938 and '40 American Aerobatic Championships. Beverly "Bevo" Howard then bought it and won the '46 and '47 championships. Howard was killed in an accident in this airplane in 1971, but his estate restored the Jungmeister and donated it to the Smithsonian in 1973.

I love the audio in the background of the guys giving octane ratings to drinks, with coke being "high octane"!

That one hanging inverted, at the Smithsonian, N15696, is Bevo Howard's Jungmeister. Restored after Bevo was killed in Greenville NC.

I fly a Jungmeister.... an rc model....

Looks like Waldo Wright's New Standard D-25, not a Standard J-1 as captioned

I wonder if Kermit keeps track of how many different airplanes he has flown?

Great video, but I'm just thinking... every time I see the old Connie, I wonder if she will ever fly again?

Not this one. She was gutted for other restorations around the world. She will however be repurposed as a themed dine-in restaurant with state of the art projection windows for FoF ACTIII, where you can dine while you “fly” over Paris, New York, the Grand Canyon, Alaska . . . etc.
