Touring a Lockheed 12-A!

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to tour this Lockheed 12A Electra Junior. John Posson of @stallion51 was gracious enough to give us a full tour at the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo!

This model was restored to closely resemble its original 1937 manufacturing and includes a multitude of interesting details. Check it out! 📸

Never the less it a beautiful and great air plane 💯👍

I love these little air history vignettes.

My 1968 Mooney M20C uses a hand lever pump hydraulic system to lower the flaps, and relief valve to raise them. Weird but cool stuff 👍

A beautiful plane with a nice restoration and i believe never enough can be said of radial engines as well. Thank you. I enjoyed this.

If you dig underneath Ahlito airport on Saipan, you will find Amelia's plane.👍😉

Totally cool 😎 plane. I'd love to fly in it. New subscriber 🎉

Sadly one of these recently crashed, if I remember it killed two
Rest In Peace to those involved

So this thing is related to the Hudsons and Venturas right? Very neat!

[scottyscott]

Help me with terminology, plunger for flaps and gear, like the throttle and mixture in c172 Cessnas?

[Iflyagrasshopper]

Is this the Chino aircraft? How many are left? How many are flying now?

[michaelsullivan]

Wow. I was going to say gorgeous but somebody just beat me to it.

[KlintonWyont]

I was recently partially paralyzed and have always dreamed of becoming a pilot, how can I get help to go to your school 🙏 please, thank you and God bless 🙏

12-A: small prop aircraft A-12 highly top secret SR-71

Quickest way to tell it is a Lockheed and not a Beech 18 is to look for the horizontal stabilizer extensions beyond the vertical fins. Unfortunately not visible here in this rushed video.

Nice airplane. I witnessed one doing a cartwheel at the end of the runway at EAA Oshkosh back in 1990. Most awful thing I ever saw.
