I was amazed at how gracefully the Pusher lifted off. I expected Kermit to wrestle it into the air. Now that's flying!

that might actually be the coolest flying footage i've ever seen

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.

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.

Beautiful to watch! Just imagine how amazing this looked to the people watching it fly back in its original time period!

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.

This is the measure of how truly brave Kermit is. Flying a collection of bedsheets and garden canes.

Imagine driving down the highway, looking up, and seeing this antique overhead. A good day it would become

Today I learned: Not to wear a hat when hand swinging a prop. Fantastic video!! Loved it.

THIS IS SO COOL Kermit🤗👍👍👍,..... I want one !... I could fly this ALL DAY with this music playing in my David Clarks.

It seems like Mr. Weeks is cleaning his computer house. Quite a few videos from years ago being published on KZread. 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.

That was one of the most beautiful pieces of flight film I have ever seen. ! Music was awesome also. A joy to watch!

there is something about seeing a person at the controls in full view that makes flying seem relatable and attainable

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 !

Now I Know How It Was For Glenn Curtiss, America's Real Aviation Pioneer!

Those magnificent men in their flying machines comes to mind. Great stuff.

no matter how old... the airpane is a beauty...

I'd love to live in the area to see Kermit flying his treasures around...!

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!

Flys so beautifully and is so stable. I watch Those magnificent men and their flying machines every Christmas

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.

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.

Absolute JOY..... All smiles !!!! Thank you ever so much!!!

SO beautiful! Love your choice of music My Best to you, stay safe and thank you...

Simply BEAUTIFUL !!! THANKS, Kermit !

That's the true way of flying no instruments no wind shield. Lovely video. Thanks

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 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.

Very tranquil and smooth, nice old fashion plane.

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.

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.

Super. It is nice to watch from where we have developed to present comfortable Aircraft

Lovely video and the Johann Strauss music adds to the nostalgia.

it's amazing the amount of advancements that were made in aviation in not so many years.

Try to imagine : How beautiful was first flight of man!

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 😳

The best way to fly low and slow. Glen would be proud

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 think Glen Curtis also was the first to use a control wheel in lieu of the levers

Pure magic. Utterly superb footage that captures perfectly the essence of the miracle of human flight.

Thanks for taking us on an amazing flight.

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.

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 KZread!

For some reason this airplane looks More amazing than a modern combat jet

Wonderful mr. Weeks

Amazingly graceful, as if Strauss had written the music just for you and Glenn Curtiss.

This is the first time I have heard the Blue Danube, and not thought of the space station scene in 2001! Well done!

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

How many are looking at this in 2024 thinking how many Boeing max will still be up there in 100 years? Ok months

Great video Kermit. Best of luck with Irma. I'm sure you'll have everything strapped down as much as you can at FoF

Cool plane and nice camerajob of the heli !

a pretty video, and a pretty plane. i'm speechless

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.

i was driving down the road about 10 years ago and we saw one of these flying just a bit above the tree tops.

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

Hey, Kermie! Time to batten down the hatches. Storm's coming!!

What a beautiful aeroplane! :-)))

Few days ago I actually went through your videos to find the video of you flying it. Beautiful beast.

I've always liked the Curtiss Pusher. Especially the type without the front elevator, like the one made for the film The Great Race. Fun movie. Haven't seen it in years, though.

That was Great just like the first time she flew I Thank you for your Time to shaur the love for Flute.

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!

Just magnificent, thank you Kermit!

Gorgeous! Love the Strauss too!

My God that was beautiful!

Awesome, Kermit...! Nice video...!

Great video with great music, thx!

Great video. It looks like it flies quite well.

God Bless Kermit Weeks

This is by far one of the coolest airplanes I've ever seen fly and the music was the perfect touch. Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤❤

That was extremely relaxing, nice life-size drone too. Thank You.

gorgeous plane, great video footage, great music !!!

excellent video thanks. it's like watching the original flight live and reliving that Wright brothers' ocation. Thks Kermit

I want to buy/build one and finally learn to fly. Such a great thing you did.

WoW the plane looks great

This is beautiful

Great to capture this on video. What an amazing machine.

Plane and music is perfect

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.

Impressive. I like the all black version of Professor Fate's in the Great Race! Max!

Awesome. What a privilege to watch. Bravo!

It's so beautiful with the classic music ❤❤

The ultimate stealth aeroplane. No way radar could pick it out.

Wow. Just.... wow. On all levels.

really fascinating. He is old but has lost nothing of his nobility.

Definitely the most beautiful aeroplane I've ever seen

That really was quite wonderful. thank you. Someday I'll get to your museum when its open. Tom Nied (aviation enthusiast).
