My Grandfather flew one of these during the war…lovely lovely aircraft!!

"Florida was the Western Front...", "I never fly any higher than I'm willing to fall!" Love it. Keep 'em flying, Kermie.

I had the tremendous luck to be refuelling one day way back in the mid 90's when Kermit landed in this aircraft and taxied up to the same pump. It was the first time I had ever seen both the Storch and Mr. Weeks, a real twofer! When he left it looked like the Storch rolled about 6 feet before it lifted off. I was inspired to visit Fantasy of Flight a few weeks later. The beautiful Catalina that can be seen in the background of some of these videos was a hulk at the time (I assume it is the same Cat!) and it makes me smile when I see how great it looks now.

"Florida, the Western front" Kermit is cool as hell and a Comedian to boot. Keep killin it Kermit!!

One of my favorite airplanes. Thanks!

Beautiful aircraft. That Storch and the WACO you have.....heaven!

I had the good fortune of see in person this plane fly. It was totally mesmerized by the experience

One hell of a history lesson, enjoyed every second.

"I'm not planning on flying higher than any than I'm willing to fall" hilarious! Love your soup-to-nuts coverage of flying this beauty.

finally a new Kermit cam video, excited to see part 2&3

Thank you Kermit. I love these Kermie Cam's, you never get to see these old birds so close. Keep them coming if you can Kermit, the aviation community loves you!

Thanks mate, cool little plane and appreciate the effort you put in to covering all the little details.

Another good Kermie cam video. I have been enjoying these for a long time, keep them coming. Thank you for sharing your planes with us.

I just love your level of detail in explaining every aspect of the aircrafts. :)

I have always been fascinated by these little planes, thanks for giving me a closer look and greater appreciation for them.

Kermie Cam videos are worth waiting for! Thanks Kermit.

Absolutely Fascinating Little Aircraft - Thank You Sir For Sharing ALL Of Her With Us !

love this series!! Great work and very interesting to listen to you!

beautiful aircraft, one of my favourites. great video.

Excellent video mr Weeks. Looking forward to the next one!

Awesome contributions! Thank you Kermit.

Lovely airplane. If I could only have one, this would be it. Beautiful restoration.

Excellent video explaining the plane that was used to rescue Mussoloni from a mountain top

I love the Fieseler Storch and how you present it. 👍🌟 A fantastic airplane, beautiful and nimble and strurdy at the same time. Great videos you make 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Greetings from Europe

Beautiful restoration. Can’t believe how big the flight controls are! It’s like a stunt plane.

So glad to see another kermie cam video!!!

Wow- - thanks for sharing the experience !! This vid was a excellent 1st person walk thru and I am really lQQking forward to the next 2 parts! The Storch has, and will always will be, my favorite bird ..its STOL performance is truly amazing for then (and now !)- - this example was pristine - like it just rolled off the factory line into service. awesome! thanks again!

I have seen your videos here and there now I’m hooked and I will make sure I see them all,I learn so much love what you do and thank you thank you

Kermit has some serious big boy toys.

Alot of people today are always about speed. It takes skill and a great aircraft to play around going slow. My hat is off to you sir. I love to see beauty in motion.

I have seen and been with Kermit and his Storch, I believe it is his favorite aircraft he owns, and is his favorite toy in his amazing toy box! Good to see you again Kermit! They changed my territory and miss dropping in after work and helping when I could! Check out the handle here!!! My secretary caught me there after work so often. and did it as a gag back in the early 90's. setting up our accounts for a project for work using youtube and I kept it! She would call me late in the day and I was there too much I guess!! Hope to be back soon and see the new place!

Such an interesting aircraft. I'm really looking forward to parts 2 and 3. Thanks Mr Weeks!

Amazing! I can't wait for the other two parts!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this all with us!! It is a great pleasure to watch your "Kermie Cams". As an Aerospace Engineering Student i am hugely interested in every detail of the Fieseler Storch. Best greetings from Germany!

Almost as good as being there, many thanks for a fascinating look at the Storch!

Kermit, love your videos!

You are the right person to own this

Great video! Love seeing these video Kermit. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Waiting for part 2 now... Also, I'm waiting for a flight in the PBY that I always see sitting outside. I would really like to see a pre-flight and in-flight video of that.

I watched your plane preflight, flight, and postflight flight than and I enjoyed you specification report on your stork! I can not watch again lose the SWASIKA!!!!!!

Thanks kermit! Amazing! Answered so many questions I had about 109s building models and such.

Mr. Weeks, thanks for sharing your fun. I must schedule my next vacation so to stop by at proper time of your business hours. Dad was a ball turret gunner.

Cool I love the storch so majestic the sound of engine amazing

It's constantly wagging its tail like a happy little dog. :-) Probably trying to say: "Let's go flying! Let's go flying!"

Lucky man, love it, keep em coming! Thanks so much!

Thanks for REALLY showing wat the Storch looks like!

What a great looking aeroplane love the style of this aircraft it's so cool 👍

thanks kermit. love these kermie cams

I've seen you fly this. Neat little plane. Great walk through, thanks!

thank you so much for sharing.

This is a man who knows how to spend his money on things that matter. Keep em flying Kermit :)

Kermit you are amazing and i admire you and your talent :)

There are many KZfaq Fiesler Storches to compare with Mr. Weeks's...check em' out... his Fiesler, in my opinion is the most complete, the most authentic and the coolest (cough) bird...

OK. Very very very good. Even more videos like this. Thank you so much. I subscribe. Francis

It looks like the German version of the Piper Super Cub with a bigger engine :) Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us, Mr. Weeks!

Can't wait for part 2

Pretty pony tail !

I love this airplane ,too> such a beauty.

Nice plane! Thanks for sharing!

So glad you're still flying your incredible collection since you no longer operate daily.

A very interesting video. Very detailed.⭐⭐⭐

Love these little machines, probably my dream airplane.

"Don't fly any higher than I'm willing to fall"... great line! Can't wait for the next two parts... so I'll revisit your Lockheed Vega Project Update Trip video to watch the Storch in action.

This is a candidate for the best airplane ever!

OMG 2:27 BEHIND , THE BIG PLANE "DOUGLAS DC 3 A3 DAKOTA" MY FAVORITE PLANE OMG I DREAM MAYBE ! THANK YOU KERMIT ! SO LUCKY !

Mr. Weeks, Thanks for a trip in an airplane I've long lusted to have in my logbook ! In my airport bum days ( about the same time you were tying knots in the air !) there was a Storch based at Sky Manor but I could never cage a ride, let alone a checkout !

Who is jealous??? I am :) Thank you Sir!!!

She's an real beaut Kermie, I want one!

This seems like the airplane for the common man. I'd LOVE to own one!

Love these full flat Kermie Cam videos! And you just had to make us wait for the actual start-up didn't you :)

The clicking is one of the mags that has an Impulse coupling. It spins faster and creates a hotter spark to start the engine

Not only i learned about this plane, but also about pterodactyl. thanks

Love all these airplanes not sure why I haven't subbed earlier. Just did! Keep em coming! I wish so bad I could ever have an opportunity to fly these aircraft! Love it! It's my dream so maybe one day!

Elképesztő Német mérnöki csoda! Megfigyeltem a háború idején minden Német gép tartalmazott valami új mérnöki találmányt némelyik akár többet is mint pl ez a repülő!

gee kermit, yer livin my dream. well you work for it. after 50yrs of living aircraft i still have not been in the air.

very elegant design

Thanks kermit for the great Video o wow a swiss old aircraft mega cool nice day by thomy i am great Fan for you many years awesome

Fiesler Storch, my all time favorite. Even bought the 2/3 Pazmany plans for it though I doubt I will ever build it.

I wish they still made these planes. They look so awesome to fly!

Wow, it's in pristine condition...great video!

great video

Thanks for explaining the red T handles function for swinging the wings.

Gotta be one of the first of the "Ultra Lights" ever built. The Storch for the Germans and the Westland Lysander for the British (but not quite ultra).

Looks like a blast.. cool vid.

I don't actually KNOW anything about planes, I just LIKE 'em ... used to build plastic models of WW1 and WW2 planes, as a kid in the '60s. This looks like a very cool plane, pretty basic yet ingenious! Thanks for posting!

I want to fly in one of these so bad. Thank you.

Remember one of Dad's 1960s or 1970s magazines, Air Progress, Air Classics, or another, having a Fieseler Storch article which carried subtitle, "So slow it could land backwards on an outhouse roof"

Great video Kermit! Would you be willing to do a walk through of that PBY on the ramp?

AWESOME!

remember this on our last visit to florida had a great day if i remember correctly it has light oil and has to be warmed up , anyway back in england i have just been to the battle of britain museum at hawkinge kent if your ever in england well worth a visit

so beautiful

Saw this aircraft demonstrated flying backwards at the FOF 20 years ago, told everyone who would listen about it :lol:

LOVE , LOVE this plane ! ... I think I want mine with some "Bush Tires ".... 16" would be fine ( lol).

After the AN-2, the greatest plane! And you get to fly it! How cool is that?

Six half revolutions!

That is a beautiful bird compared to some in museums ones in museums are mostly finish or modded for cold war with rear plated off and the small pistol window hatch in front is gone etc !

This is something that helps me on model producing scale accuracy in my builds but notice there wasn't a manufacturing mark logos on propeller blades of Heine brand so I assumed one it is a trademark copyright named manufacture or an aftermarket propeller so Im asking what if any reason why the decals of Heine wasn't used?

Grumman used a similar wing folding mechanism on the F4F-4 and later models of the Wildcat, the F6F, and the TBF.

If airplanes could be dorks, the Storch would be Napoleon Dynamite. So cool though.

When are part 2-3 coming? These are my favorite vids!

Amazing plane, I fly RC and its one of my favorites! Question...why the control surfaces locks? Thanks.
