this video reminds me of the view from the cheap seats during my days in 400 Squadron, back in 1964, when they flew Expiditors and Ottors. I always remember, the pilot and co- pilot always flew with the window open, And the view of Mount Hope Airport is spectactler,
Very nice! Last I heard was none of the aircraft was flying to this day. Seems I was misinformed. And actually pretty glad for it. Ever since someone did a picture of one of these planes, I've been rather curious about them. Sadly though, I haven't been able to at least find a model of one yet.
Honestly I don't remember at this point. I was looking up a few planes at the time I commented here. I guess I just got excited when I found the video. Good to know this plane is still flying out there. So much history they've had.
no rick rickards actually flies the beech, and harvard 401 also has his stamp which he rebuilt. just wondering weather he was piloting when you was videoing flight
Wow awesome! Great looking panel and the countryside is beautiful!

Sorry, regarding the 'none flying these days' I was getting mixed up with some other plane I was thinking about. My bad.

The two pilot's in this video are both named Mike.
The Harvard flight video actually has the CEO flying Dave R at the controls.
