Whiteside airport in Illinois sponsored a pre-Oshkosh fly-in where I was able to fly the Lockheed Electra that was in the movie Amelia. Such a cool iconic plane!

What an amazing piece of history that plane is. And the Electra was pretty cool too! LOL Seriously, I think it's awesome that you bring some of that kind of aviation history to your viewers who can enjoy it just as much as you seem to. Your enthusiasm makes it so much fun to ride along. Thanks for taking us all with you! Missed you last week.

😮Hard to think about, would be the 19 hours she spent cramped up in that thing at night over the Pacific trying to stay awake , pick Howland Island out of 7,000 miles of ocean - the noise of those Twin Wasps, the worries over headwinds and fuel consumption, the ever present possibility of engine failure.........not an enviable position.Plus - she had no way of knowing , (and film clips seem to show) when she horsed it off the ground at Lae , New Guinea, she tore the receiving trailing antenna out from under the plane and lost her ability to communicate with the Coast Guard cutter Itasca - they could only listen helplessly,as she missed the island and vanished.

Thanks for keeping the audio in around ARR. Its helping me get a better idea how to talk to my favorite Class D airport hiding under the Class B shelves. My local Class D controllers can be a hoot, most recently asking if I needed oxygen at 9,500 FT when I asked for flight following (he was kidding).

This year at OSH I was getting my wife talking to other wives of pilots. Im getting her on board to building a plane. Thanks for your videos with Jamie. It really helps me show Sheila how much fun can be had with owning our own plane.

Amelia's flying group is the 99's, of which my mother was a charter member of the local chapter. When Amelia first put out a call to women who wanted to learn to fly, 99 women showed up-thus the 99's! They perform the Powder Puff Derby, the All Women's Transcontinental Air Race.

When I saw the Electra I immediately thought it was like my old Navy SNB-5 that I was plane captain of in 1959. The cockpit did not look anything like an SNB-5 and probably not like it did originally. What I wanted to see was you taxi and park that tail wheel!😀 How many times I would get frustrated trying to get those young pilots parked. The older pilots knew how to handle the tail wheel using the engines more than the brakes. Once you loose it, you are in trouble and the nerves kick in, especially at night with me running backwards directing you! I was 18, but loved old 123 (tail #) one of my three planes that I attended at Naval Air Station, Monterey CA. She was a beauty!

We’ll Kevin, this video took me back to 1965 when I soloed in a Cessna 170 B taildragger and Whiteside Co. only had the north/south runway. I didn’t get my private until 1972 but when I did I flew the Rock River Valley skydivers for ten years. Would you believe Dan Gryder worked for me at Illinois Bell Telephone Co. before he started his flying career and he also jumped with them. I was going to come up last summer from Tellico Village for this event but my grandson was down from Illinois for the weekend.
