Sikorsky S-39 - Part 1 - Kermie Cam

[@USAIRFORCE621]

I love Kermit's personality and I've been flying since I was 15 years old. This is one guy I'd have a thrill flying with!

[@jacobaubertin645]

Just came back here to say this was the first video of yours I ever saw in 2014! I've been addicted ever since!

[@Aruchan16]

What an amazing plane ! The interior is simply fantastic ! Thanks again for the great video !

[@itzajdmting]

Kermit really has a fascinating collection of aircraft. I visited this place in1996. Will be great to revisit 20 years later (more likely 21) and this time will hopefully have my private certificate.

[@jeffersonspace]

Reminds me of the African Queen in that Bogart film. Thanks Kermit. I like world music!

[@beegee22]

Awesome airplane, awesome video!

[@carloscosta4212]

this is briliant, somehw reminds me of all the richard bach books

[@thebradfordcamps]

Glad this plane is getting all its TLC and airtime - and water time - that it was meant for, back in 39 when it was built, and also when Dick Jackson got it back together. Thanks Kermit, hope we meet up sometime. Igor, III

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

I love that Giraffe style "camouflage"!

[@tootired76]

Kermit, you rock! Thank you for all your cool videos!!

[@mothmagic1]

The window strap are reminiscent of 1950's British Railways carriage windows.

[@matube73]

Cant wait for the next episode. Cheers

[@WhallonJesse]

"Everything is giraffe color coordinated" haha Made my night. Love your videos, thank you.

[@MrJDP1974]

It seems like Dick Jackson also has the WACO D? Beautiful restoration!

[@sailrjim]

Looking to see you splash it!! Go Kermit!

[@sethmeriwether]

Love the video Kermit! Can't wait to see the next thing you put up!

[@HeldigDansker]

Awesome! I cant wait to visit next summer :D all the way from Denmark!

[@reconmodelsvaughn469]

We love your videos. .we was at the fantasy of Flight Museum about 2 years ago and it's definitely probably the best museum that I've ever been to I've been to a lot of Aviation museums and I got to meet you 2 years ago in Florida .do you ever come to the Willow Run air show in Michigan

[@sailrjim]

Awright! Will do. Thanks Kermit!

[@obese1konobe]

Giraffe stripes... the original digital camo!!

[@LowEarthOrbitPilot]

Fantastic!

[@gregbolitho9775]

your video on this has convince me to try an put together a smaller 2 seater similar to this. but i'm not sure what powerplant to give it.

[@KermitWeeks444]

Check out my Facebook page. Link is in side menu here. We posted a video of the S-39 flying there recently.

[@jacobmckenney7540]

Wow, Great Video I saw this S-39 at the 2009 International Seaplane Fly-In in Greenville, Maine and then here at Fantasy of Flight in 2012, what a beautiful airplane. Question: Are the B-26 Marauder and B-25 Mitchell that can be seen in the background of the video still airworthy, just wondering

[@vxluka998]

hey kermit thank you for your videos i really enjoy them i am 11 and i really want to be a pilot someday

[@FSXGOLDKING]

You should look into recording cockpit audio there are quite a few videos on youtube on how to do it

[@beauf1ght3r]

Thank you Kermit I love these updates, absolutely fascinating! At 1:52 in the video is that a B26 Marauder?

[@karlosio1]

awesome airplane!

[@travisolson9190]

How do you keep the floats from corroding inside, add marine fogging oil?

[@JavierRigaud]

Hi, I come back to this video from time to time because I love it, but knowing that Phil(mer) is allways there taking the moment, Why don't you use some external views in the final montage?, it will be interesting too and I don't think the spirit of the Kermie Cam videos will be touched. It would be nice to see the low pass by's and the splashes. Anyway, thanks for your videos.

[@Nerflover10097]

If you have that much space to take off, why taxi all the way to the end?

[@J3flyinginus]

To be safe if engine stop running after take off

[@beegee22]

Because the runway behind you is one of the three most useless things in aviation. The other two being the air above you and the fuel in the underground tanks at the service ramp.

[@sailrjim]

When can we see it fly?

[@jorgenelsonfelix52]

Muy lindo avión anfibio.

[@AlexDonnett]

WHAT DO U DO FOR A LIVING!!!!

[@bluemarshall6180]

What? he Just Start it without shouting CLEAR!

[@emmetwright5495]

Blue Marshall I'm not sure fully why he didn't, but I think the prop is high enough that you don't even have to worry. He also probably knows no one was around him.

[@kentsibille6850]

He’s an arrogant person
