Boeing 100 UNBOXING! - Arrival at FoF - 10/23

[@jcwoodman5285]

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

[@skyd8726]

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

[@steveshoemaker6347]

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

[@jflan8536]

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

[@goatflieg]

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.

[@dbaider9467]

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

[@mattharte7334]

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

[@c1ph3rpunk]

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

[@johncaldwell-wq1hp]

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

[@darkredvan]

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

[@michaeleaston547]

Too cool! Great videos. Thank you.

[@wingnutsworkshop]

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!

[@glencrandall7051]

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

[@roymanewell4958]

[@ericbitzer5247]

It is gorgeous. Love the colors too!

[@haroldmclean3755]

What a Beauty ! WOW 😍👍

[@stevenicoson6670]

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.

[@jimcollier7869]

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

[@tedmoss]

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

[@hanspuelinckx5602]

Absolutely beautiful machine...

[@garypugh1153]

Wow ! That looks magnificent !!😊

[@barrygrant2907]

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

[@jakejacobs7584]

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

[@MrStoney61]

Just freaking FANTASTIC!

[@ditzydoo4378]

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.

[@dwb345]

Gorgeous!!

[@harryberry474]

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

[@robertsalanon2909]

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

[@fw1421]

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

[@KidYuma1880]

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.

[@jhaedtler]

Love it! Thanks so much!

[@Grossman2868]

"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

[@andrewfraser4347]

What an awesome looking aircraft, they sound awesome too.

[@bfmcarparts]

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...

[@PAA2FLY]

That is a Beautiful Plane! I like the Color!

[@lutomson3496]

Was here in reno saw the engine fail and excellent landing poor Trucker has to drive back here

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

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.

[@Whitpusmc]

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]

Big oil money

[@chrisreynolds7164]

Not big anymore@@email4664

[@larsharris]

@@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.

[@jimbo81553]

Thank you "Big Oil"

[@TheZl9000]

My god what a beautiful machine.

[@KyleCowden]

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.

[@KimM-q7h]

I did some of the detail paint work on this plane. I also did the artwork on 3 of the other planes Roy Rehm is building. It was such an honor and privilege to work with Roy and see what it takes to build these stunning planes. Roy's work is something to be seen.

[@2140BlackCreek]

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

[@angelicchandler8275]

That is one beautiful plane.

[@jomaxfortyfive1817]

Beautiful bird!

[@thurin84]

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

[@danielcarlson800]

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

[@jlwilliams]

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

[@Dumbrarere]

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

[@ClovesPastrana]

Fantastic !

[@jerryh265]

Pure art ❤

[@davelewandoski4292]

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

[@Dan-sd5bm]

WOW That is a beautiful plane

[@tanpengjoo7205]

Thats the spirit of MADE IN USA ALWAYS POWERFUL

[@flyingdutchman700]

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

[@flyermarkbig465]

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

[@P61guy61]

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.

[@math4U1234]

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!

[@nathanbond8165]

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!

[@bearbergmann2782]

What a beautiful Machine!

[@larsharris]

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.

[@jirihamersky6152]

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

[@robertcornelius3514]

So so so cooool!

[@leehill9922]

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.

[@faustobaptista8555]

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

[@terryforbes4038]

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

[@rickm8003]

Stunning !

[@solucky70]

Wow, what a beautiful plane!

[@markgamble8377]

Very interesting.thanks for shareing.what a beautie

[@av8tore71]

Great video Mr. Weeks! Gorgeous aircraft

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Dang that's a beautiful plane!!

[@joshuashaw3315]

Wow, look at the CAC Wirraway in the background, that would look great with the CAC Boomerang!

[@David-yo5ws]

🤐 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 🇳🇿

[@MA-iv7ol]

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

[@emmettbaker5024]

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

[@dancrawford174]

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

[@release19]

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

[@scottfw7169]

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.

[@michaelwasson5490]

Kermit, you have some amazing air planes. Some day I would love to visit your museum.

[@diversherwood9631]

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

[@Leesbiz52]

Congrats over and over!

[@MikeEaton-p3n]

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

[@rolandalfonso6954]

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

[@jimydoolittle3129]

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

[@pollyskirt1]

Way cool Kermit ,made my day.😀

[@LJDRVR]

Thanks for sharing, Kermit. Was that Frank Tallman's 100? What a great airplane - the history on that one is spectacular.

[@greghelms4458]

Absolutely art. ❤

[@hadleymanmusic]

Man just the truck haul alone $$$$$$$$$$$

[@dyer2cycle]

Absolutely stunning! This aircraft looks like it is related to the P-12/F4B series....

[@tabcreedence6553]

What a beautiful airplane!

[@ferociousfrankie]

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.

[@BoatingBiker]

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

[@KermitWeeks444]

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

[@darindooley4509]

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

[@robertcornelius3514]

Kermit is the Jay Leno of aircraft.

[@edfrawley4356]

Love that priceless antiques are being hauled around in a non-descript ratty looking old trailer. Nothing to see here folks, move along. Looking forward to the video of this old bird back in the sky here she belongs.

[@bernardthefourth]

Beautiful plane.

[@Grossman2868]

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!

[@heywoodplanes6651]

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

[@WellsLarry]

Fabulous.

[@robertharper3754]

SO beautiful!!!

[@Bullifreund]

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!

[@Gary-r4x]

Would love to see Boeing 100 fly again.
