It’s great to see them in museums, but it’s even better when they’re still flying

He always has some interesting airplanes. Seen you in the why I fly video and they couldn’t have picked a better more upbeat person.

ANDREW seriously needs to host a podcast. Such a great voice. And would love to hear a show centered around vintage aircraft and the history of aviation, etc..

It's a great day when a Dewey-Andrew video shows up! Thanks.

That thing is gorgeous!

You guys are my spirit animals. 😂

I'm still hoping to find an original Great Lakes like my grandfather had. It was black and orange with a Menasco engine and had a tail skid. He bought it new and flew it from his strip in Dyersville, Iowa. They might fly better with a radial but they looked better to me with the Menasco.

This Great Lakes was on the market recently on Barnstormers. I drooled over it because I have always hoped to own a Warner powered Great Lakes. I was never quite able to afford a Great Lakes but managed to own two nice Citabria airplanes plus six Cubs and a very nice Luscombe 8F. I also owned a flew a Spezio Tuholer and two Baby Ace airplanes. All this was back in the late 1970s and 1980s. I am 70 now. Guy in Columbia Mississippi

Back in the late eighties, I rented one in milwaukee for a little dual with their acrobatics instructor.

i could listen to you guys all day, thanks ....that was great

For the uninitiated, the engine baffles they are talking about are part of the NACA cowl on the airplane. That cowl revolutionized aviation in the 1930s and was still relatively new technology in 1931.

Ernie Gann soloed a 80hp Inverted Cirrus powered Great Lakes that came from the Ryan School of Aeronautics NC12887. Took him 18 hours at age 26

I thoroughly enjoy the history lessons Andrew always brings with each aircraft he flies into the Deweydrome! Keep the history alive gents!

My dad restored a '78 homebuilt Great Lakes with an O320. We brought it to the barnstormer carnival a couple years ago. Great video!

Love It! Thanks!

That is definitely a gorgeous aircraft for sure! Someone did an amazing job restoring it. Andrew is such a wealth of knowledge, I could listen to him all day talk about airplanes. If I don't see you before the Barnstorming Carnival I'll definitely see you there for sure. I'm glad to see you back on here. By the way great job on the edit. The music at the end was perfect. Thanks for sharing the videos and blue skies brother.

Yay! Another Dewey video. Always appreciate Andrew sharing the life history of a vintage aircraft. Very cool!

….do a ferrying video, would love to hear those stories..

Another wonderful history lesson. Thanks Andrew and Dewey!

It WAS Ernst Kessler that first performed the outside loop -- last week in Kansas City... :) Love your Videos! Thanks Dewey!

LOVE this 🙂 Miss your video's Dewey. Please make more! How's the "barnstorming" farm doing ? Loved those episodes ! 🙂

Sucks I missed it...😢

Thanks for the great video on the Great Lakes! I started the Great Lakes Facebook group and have an homebuilt Great Lakes project. Good history Andrew. Betty Skelton had a Kinner on her Lakes

Harold Crier used to fly in air shows around here.(Wichita) Congrats, another great and informative video.

Another great video. What a nice airplane and love the sound of that engine.

Nice to see you again Dewey. Very interesting video, you guys have so much knowledge 😊

Glad to see some new content. Always a fun video.😊

Marvelous,,,,

see you at the Barnstormers show

Andrew has had quite a bit written about his flying lately! I certainly wish I had my Great Lakes back. Thank you for taking the time to share and keep real flying alive.

It’s always a pleasure and an education watching Dewey and Andrew, thank you both.

GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK DEWEY!

Hey Dewey, How is it going... I'm still restoring the Clipper!

In his 1974 anthology "A Gift of Wings" Richard Bach included a chapter titled "People Who Fly", about airport people, pilots and not. About their trust of other People Who Fly, their trustworthiness, kindness, willingness to help their fellow pilots and airport friends with anything at almost any time. Clint and Ryan, not to mention you two, prove all that still exists at little airports and even bigger ones, all over the US. A great thing to see, and something I've experienced again and again in 45 years of GA flying. I suggest you investigate the book if you haven't already read it.

Is there a 12v power source inside the cabin? An electric jacket would keep the pilot toasty warm even on a cold day.

that is a beautiful aircraft

I learned to fly in an Aeronca champ at 17. Did you know that "sully sullenberger" learned to fly when he was 16! I'm 73 and still think I could fly one!

Awesome video trip Dewey! Did the Kinner R540 burn a lot of oil on your trip? How often did you have to add? I heard they run through quite a bit.

Nothing sounds like those short-stack J-5's!

Congratulations!

Thanks for taking the time to make this awesome video! I need to get back in the air soon.

Glad to see you're back, always enjoy the Champ videos. Hoping to make it to the barnstorming carnival in July.

Priceless! We didn't get much of an eclipse like you guys but we did back on 8/2017. Thanks for posting.

You are one lucky, blessed man...

It's a good day when Dewey drops a video! Thanks for sharing that fun trip with us. Congratulations on the new addition, too!

Good to see you guys!

What a sweet little one

Missed you! We were thrilled to see a new video pop up today. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family too ❤

I did a video in Xenia with a pinhole camera. It worked a bunch better that trying to point anything at the sun. Even in totality the camera just didn't pick up the amazing spectacle.

Thanks for taking us along for a ride in the Champ. Since you hand prop regularly, you should do a primer on to do it properly, from "switch off" to "switch on."
