Video: 600HP, 5 Seats And 2 Wings - Addison Pemberton's Boeing Model 40

 This video isn't new but it's extremely well done and I'm as sure as I can be that you haven't seen it. Addison Pemberton's 8 year restoration of the only airworthy Boeing Model 40 put the impressive airplane back in the air in 2008. This video is from 2009 and gives a nice background on both the important historical significance of the Model 40 along with a little better understanding of just how large the airplane is, and how much work the restoration project was. I highly recommend giving the video your next 8 and a half minutes.

 The video is also a good primer for wrapping you head around the fact that this airplane is scheduled to participate in the Cow Pastures to Commercial Airways theme for the 2012 Antique Airplane Association Invitational Fly-In August 29 - September 3 in Blakesburg, Iowa. I've decided this is the year I MUST get to Blakesburg... the more I look at the fabulous Antique Airfield website, the more I realize that one of the biggest things missing in my life is Antique Airplanes! More on all this later.

 Lastly, you may already know that this Boeing Model 40 and the 787 Dreamliner met up in the sky back in May of 2010, but you might not know the details of the story of how they got the amazing pictures that prove the meeting in the sky of the oldest and newest Boeing aircraft. Antique Airfield has a nice page with that air to air photo story too.

 I hope you take the time to enjoy this great video, and then I suggest you start thinking hard about getting to Blakesburg Iowa in late August!
