Thanks Tim, for sharing the links to the videos of the S-39. I've always liked the Sikorsky breed, all of them. It's surprisingly quiet inside the cockpit wasn't it. Overall the S-39 seemed a very sound and solid airframe. Very unique, all of the Sikorsky's. With a look of their own. NICE aircraft for the era!

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Always looking forward to the next 'Kermie Cam'! Though I was growing a bit impatient in the days between the second and then the third parts being shown. : )
Some great planning went into the grounds of 'Fantasy of Flight' - a runway big enough and sturdy enough to handle aircraft as big as a B-29, but made of grass on the surface to support the operation of the oldest aircraft, and with a lake and seaplane ramp to support seaplane operations with aircraft as large as the Sunderland. I can't wait to eventually see the Howard Hughes S-42 restored and flying around there.
