Charles Lindbergh 1930 Bird

Andrew King flew a Brunner-Winkle 1930 Bird biplane into my place in Ohio. This aircraft was first purchased and owned by Charles and Ann Lindbergh. Charles bought the aircraft so he could teach his wife Ann how to fly. Over the years the aircraft has changed hands, but it still in flying condition and to believe is the the only Lindbergh aircraft not in a museum. Andrew flew the aircraft to Oshkosh,WI for the ‪@EAA‬ Airventure. #flying #ferrytrip #

Hey! That’s my Uncle flying that baby!

[@brentdykgraaf184]

Wow....I would just love to touch it..sit in Lindy,s seat. Magnificent piece of history.

I love how the engine cowling covers the engine up, yet leaves the cylinders out so they can run cool. Very aesthetic and functional. Cute like a button, just like Anne.

Wow. Can you imagine owning a plane that was owned and flown by Lindbergh? The sound of that radial is pure aviation music. I had a chance to visit Lindbergh's grave in Maui. He picked a beautiful spot to rest.

Beautiful footage!! What a Great Video!

[@greybeard5774]

That was beautiful 👍

[@WVMbe]

Beautiful.

[@ess64cee]

Nice film Dewey! 👌

[@audiehollon4292]

Green leaves, and fields full of new crops. People in shorts and no parkas. This makes me eagerly look forward to the warmth of late spring to enjoy flights to watch the sunset from the cockpit. Another gem of a video, Dewey. I always look forward to seeing your videos which brings out the romance and why we love flying so much. Thanks.

[@timothygaffney9296]

Great video, Dewey. Nice ending.

[@DeweyDavenport]

[@ronturner7379]

WOW! Simply beautiful.

[@deeanna8448]

I'm loving these videos! I want to fly in a bi-plane one day!

[@scottinohio701]

That is awsome!!!! My father had a Franklin Sport with that same engine in it!!!! (Late 30s)

[@jerryh265]

Amazing footage, gorgeous airplane. Keep up the good work Dewey, aviation needs people like you to keep it alive. 👏👍

[@galentimblin3309]

Thanks Dewey and Andrew what a beautiful beefy bird ! nice lines. great videography! that Andrew what a lucky guy

[@TheFlyingStampede]

What a beautiful aircraft and not to mention a great story. Thanks again for sharing your adventures!

[@RVN782P]

Beautiful video. Wish I could have one done just like it when I finish my Hatz.

[@n55ma29]

Marvelous footage! Excellent addition to the magazine article.

[@DocsPracticeRoom]

Wow

[@kevincollins8014]

That is definitely one amazing looking aircraft , thank you Andrew for sharing it with us all. By the way the videography in this was incredible. Great job on the music choice too. As always thanks for sharing the love of aviation with us all brother.

[@chrismaley339]

Those Kinner's have such a wonderful, unique sound! It must be an amazing feeling to pilot a plane that was once piloted by the Lindbergh's. If only that plane could tell stories!

[@DeweyDavenport]

IMO, the aircraft can tell you many stories. The caretaker is responsible for keeping history alive. Andrew truly worked hard to take her to Airventure last year so thousands of people would appreciate the story. While he was in Ohio he took a few people for rides. Now they can tell part of the story. Just my opinion.

[@chrismaley339]

@@DeweyDavenport That's an interesting perspective. . . and I like it. I have a 1943 Taylorcraft L2M. I've often thought that I'm just the caretaker. You bring up a good point. I share the plane's story and at the same time, create new stories for those that accompany me. . . thereby keeping the story alive. One thing is certain, you and Andrew do a wonderful job of sharing the history and stories of the unique aircraft you fly. I always look forward to your videos. It's exciting to see what you'll surprise us with next!

[@elosogonzalez8739]

[@ecdevine]

What a treasure of an airplane. Ever consider hosting a fly-in at the Deweydrome?

[@samuelweaver9308]

You got this to the Deweydrome?? Nice.

[@dcmflydude6320]

Actually the woman in the front seat looked a little like Anne

[@mustangmikep51]

good observation...its true!

[@boogerwood]

Beautiful video. How does Andrew get his hands on these planes?

[@DeweyDavenport]

Andrew is very blessed and he is good at what he does. He has been flying and ferrying antique aircraft for over 40 years and with that experience you are known in the antique community.

[@boogerwood]

And we’re equally blessed by these videos and you sharing these experiences. Thank you!

[@billhickman6455]

Awesome scenes its just a shame that the sound is replaced with music.

[@DeweyDavenport]

The music is much better than the wind noise. Trust me, I have been doing this a long time. Most importantly thanks for watching
