The P51 c looks truly magnificent in her Tuskegee colours !

Kermit, your comment about your ultralight brings to mind something you might enjoy. My father is Richard Peterson, triple ace of the 357th FG in WWII flying P-51 "Hurry Home Honey". As a result of that, I once had an opportunity to have dinner with Chuck Yeager, and during conversations about all the exotic aircraft he's had the opportunity to fly, I asked him what his favorite was, and without any hesitation at all, he enthusiastically said, "My ultralight!" He said that was the one plane that gives him the most personal sense of flying, with a big grin.

I absolutely love that listening to you talk is like sitting with you on the end of a dock, hearing the water lap against the hull of one of your Sikorsky aircraft. It's like listening to a good friend more than a famous flyer.

Just when I thought, your videos could not get any better....BAM!!! KERMIE Q’s. Keep it up Please.

Thanks for taking the time to field some questions and give some answers and backstories - every airplane has a story (or several), and it's fascinating stuff. I also want to mention that your format here is excellent - a couple of cameras to keep you from being a static talking head, background video relevant to subjects, and at 20 minutes - enough time to go into detail as needed but not so long where viewers might get restless. Top notch, Kermit.

17:36 - "It was cheaper to get into warbirds" SAID NO ONE, :D

Oh I remember that Stuka control-line model, my folks bought me one in the late 60's. It had a .049 glow plug engine and - like the real Stuka - was woefully underpowered but great fun to fly!

Easily one of the best Q&A formats on YouTube. Kudos to you Kermit, and your top-notch video-editing staff!

[kittonsmitton]

great Q&A, I'm perched on the edge of my seat for Episode 003 of "KERMIE Q's" Thank you Kermit for your dedication to your passion, it's infectious.

[jackbelk]

Your enthusiasm is infectious and the passions you share are very much appreciated. Thank you!

[michaelfuller]

Always enjoy it, Kermit! I bought Air Classics magazine at the drugstore as a kid in the 1970's...guess I never outgrew seeing the old birds fly! Thanks for the fun & interesting videos!

[topfuelfan]

Kermit these are great ! Nice to learn the history and have so many answers in these Kermie Q' videos. I visited Fantasy of Flight a couple years ago and really enjoyed the tour. I'm ready to move to Florida now and visit more often.

[phantomTomcat]

Love the Kermie Q's series! Thanks for doing this, it's a great insight

[darrelljourdan]

Hey Kermit... Just want to thank you for all that you do for aviation history and for us aviation addicts. I am absolutely thrilled that someone is so blessed to be able to salvage, repair, restore, and bring these beautiful birds back to the life. Even more thrilled that you are passionate enough to share your glorious collection with us. Keep up the good work and again... THANK YOU!

[robertinscoe]

Thanks for taking the time out of what i am sure is a busy schedule to answer some questions. You sir have earned a nice Rum cocktail, enjoy.

[markwilliams]

Thx for sharing YOUR LIFE with us!! Always great stories!

[tngtacticalmiata]

Sheesh... Don't apologize for the P51C! That was absolutely the right thing to do!

[alwatt]

Did not know you did RC. Loved hearing about that. Thanks. I guess that's why you have an RC field close to F of F

[AeroDinosaur]

Kermit, totally amazing how you've accomplished all this over the years, you're such a positive force for me (fairly old man) and otherwise our kids who have tremendous headwinds and horrific negative influences these days, Godspeed!

[alphabravocharlie]

Wow Kermit! Thanks for answering my question about the mantz racer! You made this Airman’s day! I have been making a new aviation history podcast and will now re edit the mantz racer episode with your answer!
