That was absolutely fantastic. I worked on a Jenny at Lackland AFB back in 84. We packed it up and shipped it to Wright Pat. Thanks!
From those of us who love these planes and will never get to fly them, thank you for this video. It's as close as we'll ever get. Best regards.
Wow... What an incredible plane... Someday I hope to fly one myself!
Man this has to be my favorite plane of its time. I've never flown a real one but I feel like it would be cool to do so
¡Beautifull, beautifull, beautifull so much. Thank you very much!
My grandfather flew one of these in WWI. He often told the story of how he flew in the same sky as The Red Baron. Of course, grandpa was in Oklahoma and the Red Baron was in France. Same sky! Needless to say, he went on to become a prominent attorney.
Fantastic!
great old girl; I fly a 3/4 scale jenny and my stick is moving all over the place just like yours...my wingspan is 28 feet but still undercambered wings and wires , sounds the same on final....great old bird I love flying mine too
Great video.
Does the Jenny have any sort of trim?
My plane does not, which means you need a lot of forward stick pressure to fly.
Good video. I loved it.
Beautiful Flying Paul,and Awesome Plane, I have to give you credit for fly in that thing among others
+stealhty1 "that thing"!!!! Holy Crap man, to aviation purists those are fighting words. That "thing" is a Jenny and it's the closest thing to a religious relic to exist in the aviation world. God, how I envy that guy :) And thank you soooooooo much for NOT putting music over the sound of that beautiful engine.
+Darryl Braun you should come see it in person..is Amazing
you should see his in person if u can. see those rocker arms on the motor? they have to be oiled before flight. what I appreciate about the old birds is that, unlike modern planes, parts of the motor must be oiled before flight.
it's like an old car.....you don't just turn the key and go. you have to prep it a little and let it war! up before "taking off"..... pun intended!
+Darryl Braun AMEN man. The truth must be told! This is like the holy grail of planes.
Isn't the fabric sewn to the ribs ant it shouldn't be flopping on underside of upper wing. I would worry it would peel off and that didn't go so well for some WW1 pilots.
Did those come with seat belts
That's cool
It's from wood. Or iron ??

Wood with fabric covering.
Great plane. I am amazed at the constant attention you give to the control stick and how you really have to "fly" the plane by constantly moving the stick to ensure controlled flight.
BTW it's cool as hell seeing a real-time video of the OX-5 rocker arms in action.....what type of oil do you use to lubricate them? I believe the oil at the time of manufacture was castor oil.
Come see ours at the eagles mere air museum.
