Where's the Fly again part...some taxing & that was it..

Did a T-6 intro with Thom 3 years ago - absolutely the best experience in my aviation life! Highly recommend these folks!!!!!

Robin Olds....The real Maverick. He is what a real legend is.

Fighter pilots to be effective stretch the limits; the German Marseilles was a wild card; many other American fighter pilots,wild card,and successful with many kills( Germans were doin it for longer years) that's why high scores! And some had mom's flight instructors so learned at a very early age! Chk it out

A timeless beauty!

The engine of the first cruise missile.

Yall noticed that #1 engine started counter clockwise. #2 starts clockwise. Critical to induce lift over the center wing section. If they turned in opposite order, the wing would not lift, causing it to stay on the ground. I believe this very incident happened during initial testing. The plane WOULD NOT lift off. Please correct me ifnI am wrong, but this is how I read it.

just the best of men

What an amazing plane !

I love this pane so much, i wish the had put merlin engines in tgem instead of the allison ones.

Looks awesome! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Ok,it’s 2024. Is this Phantom still airworthy and flying?

If this great man were still with us he would distain the ex president trying to squirm out of his trials. He would distain the Supreme Court for their flagrant disregard of the rules. He would really distain trump for wanting to destroy the constitution and his desire to become a dictator like his heroes Putin and Kim. He would stand for Biden because they have the same ideals about America.

My God, who could play Olds in a movie? Cause we gotta have a movie!

Beast…

That was idle not full thrust.

Flew back seat in this bird almost 5 years ago. CAF does a GREAT job!

The sound sends shivers down my spine

ไอ้หน้าเหลี่ยมมึงปกครองคนพวกนี้ไม่ได้หรอกมันเห็นแก่ตัว

A few years ago I saw a picture of about half a dozen or so of these in storage somewhere. They were former Chalks planes but had their original piston engines on them and not the turboprop crap they were flying. Like to see a collector get one to fly in air shows.

Legend and a great role model i'll strive to be like him

The USAF museum in Dayton, OH has a great exhibit dedicated to Olds. His F-4 Scat XXVII is there.

Sad to see all those iconic great planes just sitting there .

“I only did what you told me to do.” Sounds vaguely familiar, given 20th Century German military expositories from Nuremberg: Any of the high ranking Nazi Officers: “I was not a Nazi, but I only followed my orders.” Robin Olds must not have known of this historical conundrum.

It's interesting how it can run while stationary, not needing air pressure into the inlet to charge the combustion chamber. The exhaust blast must create suction or scavenging that draws a fresh charge of air past the front vanes. The simple design is deceptive, concealing the engineering that must go into calculating the chamber size and shape.

This is beautiful stuff and important part of American history. Thank you for allowing Staff Sgt Edwards to tell his story so that he and his comrades will not be forgotten!

How many F14s are at the Boneyard and will they ever be reused for purposes?

Can you be any more of a patriot than this guy. I salute you.

The dog is all happy someone is home.

Robin Olds, what an amazing roll model!!!

Thank you for posting.

Thanks for sharing this excellent video with its beautiful music. As a former USAF instructor/flight examiner in the Air Training Command, it would have been a thrill to have used the S.211 as my flight trainer aircraft.

Wonderful work. Am pretty certain I saw one of these fly at the CAF airshow at Harlingen in the 80s. I think it touched down early, but for the life of me I can't recall.

That's a nice one! How much for the dog? I can afford him.

Fantastic, thank you. I've been a keen fan of NASA birds and other sundry exotica.

Only one photograph of it actually flying in the whole video

What it sounds like when Hans mows the lawn early on a Saturday morning

how many pounds of thrust?

It looked like something was smoking at the front of that engine when they cut it off.

Salute to MY gen, Bgen Robin Olds!!!!! It was an honor to serve under his command,Ubon Thailand!!

Meh🤷🏼‍♂️. Not very efficient 🤓😎✌🏻🇺🇲

Wonder if they still have any Cessna O-2A parts. Would love to get my hands on some original parts to put on mine to assist in the restoration. My O-2 came out of Pima in the early 90’s and was lost for years. Till I found her 3 years ago and started the restoration.

Que máquina maravilhosa, anfíbio e terrestre. Esses caras são muito bons.

what is the crap? write in capital letters that the plane is to be sold but you don't give a price and you don't name a price in the video either? that's annoying.

Heaven is for Heroes, R.I.P.

Good take on the Constitution

This plane and the X-15 are principally responsible for me becoming interested in aerospace engineering (them and my Dad being a Rocket Engineer out at Cape Canaveral in the 50's/60's/70's). I had both models hanging from my bedroom ceiling as a young boy in the 60's/'70's. I was good at math and a good athlete and wanted to be a fighter pilot but was told that my vision had to be 20-20 uncorrected to get a pilot contract out of OCS so I switched my plan to AE (a recently retired A.E./C.E. from America's largest defense contractor).

The folks in Ukraine need your help- kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6WUkHilfc2EaJI They’re trying to make bug bombs in mass to send over the Russian troops to overwhelm air defense

Very cool my dad flew F4’s three tours in Vietnam when I was just a little kid no more then seven or eight years old I remember the planes well looked just like that one I built a model F4 and painted it to look just like the real thing love the F4 super cool looking plane

I believe that it was the F-16 that finally broke the F8F Bearcat's Climb Record and nothing and I mean NOTHING has beaten the F-16 as of April, 2023.
