Bucker Jungmann Cross Country Flight Part 1

Goodfolk and O'Tymes has been talking about taking a journey across the country in an old antique biplane, so we could meet the world. This vlog is kinda our first time to do this. We have been barnstorming the coolest biplane ever made and now Andrew got a job to ferry something just as cool as my Travel Air and New Standard. We flew a 1947 Bucker Jungmann over 1200 miles in the middle of January. The experience was great and the I know the opportunity will be even greater.

Great video! Very interesting. Are those arrows I see in the wires?

Dewey-- A special thumbs up for your music treatment here. Adding music to aircraft videos is a tricky business, mostly resulting in failure. Many vids taken from the sidelines at an airshow or some friend's 1st flight should not have music at all. And those that should often get saddled with the guy's favorite crappy car music, etc. These tunes here were all well-chosen, and I believe not off-putting to anyone. A tricky business indeed. Other aircraft vid-makers TAKE NOTE!

Nice Dewey, a little education, history and great scenery.

What a great adventure. Just fantastic. Low and slow brings back the true essence of flying. Cheers

Couldn't knock that smile off your face with a 2x4!! Thanks for taking us along with you. Who doesn't dream about cross-country in a open cockpit bi-plane?

Hey Dewey, just saw this vid. You were in my neck of the woods! Was that Doolittle field you flew from?

[satellitegirl]

Awesome. Can't wait for the next one. Love the old school flight planning. That's my next class.

I have a Lindberg map and it's marked with a red line and marked every 50 miles and noted where he jumped out of the plane on his mail route

Another awesome video Dewey!! You do really good work on these videos!

GLAD it wasn't too cold - that plane is PERFECT. Great article on Bunker Jungmann home built - February 2018 EAA Sport Aviation magazine! I had frost on my Skylane in Reno, and the sun got it melted off with a little help from my nightshirt over top of the wings.

Hi Dewey
This video brought me good memories of Falcon Field. Had the opportunity to live in Peachtree City for 6 years and had my Light Sport based on that field.
You had your plane parked in front of that little park which is where I first parked my new airplane when I landed there for the first time.
Thanks for sharing this video and safe flying

Nice video, How do you keep from cramps in such a tight space for so long?

[calebhenderson]

I live about 40 miles from Vivian la in linden tx

[stevemiller]

I'm surprised they wouldn't let you put in the corner of a hanger

Dewey this is such a great video, you have taken us lesser mortals on a wonderful delivery flight landing at some lovely friendly aerodromes along the way, love the dead reckoning old style old skills navigation, the Jungman ( meaning ' Young Man in German ' ) is a beauty in those Czech markings, the new owner is a lucky person to own such a lovely historic machine, you did right to highlight the bad manners of the Cessna 140 pilot with no regard for other peoples aeroplanes, you never prop wash like that and it was not needed, looking forward to Part 2 of your adventure, thank you for all the work that you put in ou behalf to see such lovely aircraft and scenery.

[Windtee]

Be mindful of our propwash or jetblast. It's a good neighbor policy reminder, Dewey! BTW, thanks for the soundtrack refs.

That isn't a Bucker Jungman. Is not even a sorry copy.
