Gee Bee Z could fly again. Just had an engine test

Thu Jun 07, 2012 12:33 pm

This video was shared with me by feature79. Shows an engine test for Kermit Week's Gee Bee Z that was done earlier this week at Fantasy of Flight. The plane hasn't flown in over ten years. Sounds like Kermit got the hankering to fly her again. That would be so awesome to see. Also, check out the Storch landing in background when Gee Bee is being pushed out of hangar.

I am thrilled to see this video. Thank you for posting the link. I have already watched it several times.

I hope it does fly again, and I look forward to seeing such a beautiful replica fly again.

Very nice! It was also good to see the vid of Kermit's "new"S-55(historic bird, fmr. NY Airways N417A) being delivered as well as the Gurland S-55 flight...durn youtube, one thing leads to another. geek
