Flying and Overview of a 1939 Fleet Model 10F

[@brendac1051]

My dad owned this plane and I have a number of flights in it. Such a wonderful airplane. I'm glad others are enjoying it now.

[@DeweyDavenport]

Thanks for watching Brenda. I think it is great that you and others has a part of history with this plane.

[@brendac1051]

I sure miss those low and slow rides on a warm summer day. Wonderful video of the Fleet. I really enjoyed watching this. I wish I could post pics here. You would see the smile on my face while riding in it.

We owned this plane for about 12 years before its brief sojourn to Texas, and now to New York. Andrew you did a great job explaining the plane. We are so pleased it ended up in Skaneateles. My Grandmother, Great Aunt and my dad’s two brothers raised their families there. Spent a lot of our childhood there... and now our plane is there. Great video. I miss her. Thanks for great video Dewey.

I love this channel my kind of airplanes I flew a model 9 fleet down on Long Island in the early 80s very similar to the ten but it had a 5 cylinder Kinner lots of fun keep up the good work

[@Lechonsitoasado334]

I can not find another word to describe this video, but simply beautiful.

[@DeweyDavenport]

Thanks Alfonso.

Andrew is very impressive with his aeronautical knowledge! Really cool cat!!!!!

[@DeweyDavenport]

Andrew is one of the best!

I really enjoy this sort of video. Nice to see an antique actually be used and to show a little patina from that use.

[@wmfife1]

Thanks for the explanation about the 16B connection. When you said this was one-of-a-kind I was like, wait. It looks too familiar to be a one-off. 16B did use the Kinner and there is at least one I've seen with a J-6-5 Whirlwind. But it's long been an all-time favorite. Great walk-around! I'm ready to go fly!

[@kenlincoln8345]

Dewey, you're the best. I enjoy your videos.

[@miguelslade]

Thanks so much for this, I really enjoyed it. Great production.

[@amumumu]

That is one amazing aircraft, so much history!

[@satellitegirl9144]

Andrew I'm digging the beard. It's a good look on you. Miss you Dew-man! Awesome video guys!

[@CaptainCam]

Great video Dewey

[@mikestreeservice534]

Super Video! thanks!

[@DL-kr3ir]

Great work Dewey these videos with Andrew are awesome

[@Andykev]

Beautiful! As usual, you are a wonderful host. I could spend all day there soaking it all in. Happy 4th of July!

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

I just started watching your videos...I love them! You've got the coolest, errrr, 2nd coolest set up (Kermit gets#1). Neat people, neat planes, fun times!

[@hakuneman2320]

I love biplanes. I started my pilot career on Antonov-2, and it was best experience in my life. I had engine failure during the flight 4 times. and also one time I had a tailspin during landing roll. But I think, only on biplane you can have experience of real flight. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with american biplanes yet. Thank you for video.

[@QuiteSBR556]

Man you always have fantastic videos! I love the old XL but it’s my dream to fly some of these older airplanes, it’s my true passion! Very jealous, love it!

[@dillonlexington]

those planes you actually fly, not like the corporate jobs :) I still love the challenger, hopefully more of your "work" videos are coming soon sir. Thanks for posting Dewey.

[@DeweyDavenport]

David I plan on making a new video over this next week. I was on vacation so now I'm back.. Well see what I can come up with.

[@dillonlexington]

you put out a great product, look forward to seeing the places you get to go. Hope you enjoyed the vaca!

[@ethanbrown1235]

your content is so freaking good.

[@Peorhum]

Fleet is still around making parts for other companies. Actually the tigermoth was used more in WW2 for training by the RCAF, then the fleet. Canada made over a 1000 tigermoths. The fleet did make another trainer, a monoplane but it handled so well it was used for training navigators instead of pilots.

Syracuse! my hometown :)

[@kfarrel7]

Just realized I saw this plane at skaneateles aerodrome!!!

[@jimhumphrey]

[@abeash9529]

That was so cooool and informative!!!!!!

[@blackbirdpie217]

I'm guessing they had a lifting tail because of the rear passenger configuration which is the real oddity.

[@dancahill8555]
