OK gang, it took a few months, but here's a new update on the Messerschmitt Bf-108 restoration. As you know, we've been busy lately tidying up some project containers and storage areas, but we've got back on the 108 and have some progress to report. In this clip we'll talk about the work going on with the right wing, the engine, the fuselage and the electrical system. It's pretty jam packed with info and visuals, so check it out.

Here we go with Part 2 of the Avro Lancaster CONTAINERS REVEAL. We continue our exploration of the final two containers, then move on to Fantasy of Flight storage bay #1, where Kermit joins Paul to check out the Lancaster center section, and wings. The clip finishes up with Paul and Kermit viewing parts moved to the south hangar mezzanine. Come on along and join in on some interesting discoveries and conversation on the planes history and acquisition. Pretty Cool!

Avro Lancaster "UNBOXING!" Well, really a CONTAINERS REVEAL. What ever you want to call it . . . This is exciting! We decided to finally crack open the containers housing the components of our Avro Lancaster. The containers have taken a beating in the Florida heat and humidity, and it was time to make a change. Come along with Paul as he crawls through the darkness, and checks out the different sections and parts of this magnificent bomber, . . . as the process of securing them in better conditions commences. Pretty Cool!

The Grumman Wildcat is such a cool plane and so great to fly. I did this flight and crowd talk at Fantasy of Flight a few years back, for airplane of the day. The clip contains some info and history on Butch O'Hare, probably one of the most famous Wildcat pilots. The crowd that day definitely enjoyed the info and the flight. I hope you do too!

Here's a helicopter air-to-air shoot I did a few years back with my Spirit of St Louis replica. It's pretty inspiring footage that is both tranquil, and uplifting . . . and visually poetic. The flight footage is without sound, (all you could hear was wind and the copter,) so we added some equally inspiring music! This plane will be the next in line, wood and fabric restoration project, after the Standard J-1 is finished. Hope you enjoy the flight!

Ok gang, we’re hitting the home stretch now on our Standard J-1 restoration with Ken starting on the fuselage fabric. In this FoF Mechanic’s Corner update, we give a step by step view of the process, as Ken fits, trims, fastens, and then glues the fabric into place - making it ready for final doping. One step closer to having a finished plane. Check it out!

One of my fondest memories is when I first bought my P-51D Mustang. I landed the plane, threw my bags out, and started giving rides to all my friends. Through the years I've given many friends and acquaintances the opportunity to fly in aircraft they would never had the chance to experience.

During Fantasy of Flight's heyday, I extended that opportunity to my employees and, at every 5-Year Anniversary, I would buy them lunch, and then take them flying in a plane of their choosing. I used to have almost 100 hundred employees and had as much fun as they did!

Light That Spark Within!

The aircraft crew got a chance today to get into one of our storage containers here at Fantasy of Flight. As you know, there are several containers here housing some very special airplane projects waiting for their restoration turn. Weathering and rot of these containers has led to us moving their contents to storage or display. Today we save our Supermarine Spitfire MK-XIV from its cold, damp, and dark seclusion, to see the light of day, and breathe in the light and fresh air of our Golden Hill facility. Come join Paul, Ken and Erich as they escort the MK-XIV to its new home!

OK, Gang, here's a great clip on my 1929 Travel Air 4000 that we did a few years back auditioning for the proposed film, "Illusions." The film was to be based on the book, written by the famous author, aviator, and long-time friend, Richard Bach. The movie was never made but we had fun flying that day. Enjoy!

The Ford 5AT Tri-Motor is truly one cool airplane. Here’s a great clip of a start-up, taxi, and run-up. At some point, in ACT III I plan to give rides in this, so people can experience the birth of commuter flight. Enjoy!
