From the archives, as we remember the 80th Anniversary of Doolittle's Raid on Monday. North American B-25 Tour - Kermie Cam - Exterior Walk-Around We tried our best to get Part 2 of the Waco Flight to FoF done for this week, but we need to add some more photos and video to get the edit just right. I scrambled to come up with a replacement video that could be shot quickly, and thought now is the time to do a walk-around and interior tour of the B-25 bomber. I grabbed a GoPro and headed over to th

It was earlier this week in 1942 when U.S. Marines took Henderson Field on Guadalcanal and the first plane landed. It was a PBY. It was soon joined by a️🦆! That little moment marked the beginning of the Cactus Air Force and one heck of a battle in the Pacific. Check out part 2 of 3 of a "Kermi Cam" from the vault! | Kermit Weeks

From 2020... Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures! I'm hunkered down in self-imposed isolation for a couple of weeks and found that I ran out of one desperately needed supply. Thankfully, I have some great employees here at Fantasy of Flight. I called on my Aircraft Maintenance lead, Jack McCloy, to see if he could help me out. The following is what transpired. It's all in good humor to hopefully lighten the mood. | Kermit Weeks

OK, Gang, here’s a short video of the A-26B landing on its first test flight last week! I was not there and these video clips were the only thing recording the event, so enjoy what we’ve got! Yes, the left engine appears to be running a bit rich, but it takes time for the rings and everything else to get tweaked and settle in. Unfortunately, once the airplane leveled off and picked up speed, BOTH canopies blew open! The landing gear was dropped followed by an immediate landing for a total first
