[bapa.eu][The Flying Bull] Restoring the iconic Sikorsky S58 (Part 1)

Shared on bapa.eu facebook page

https://youtu.be/E7UuX9hnaRA?si=LjoQdkAJJfX4wKHj

Restoring the iconic Sikorsky S58 (Part 1) This video will give you an update on the restoration of the Sikorsky S-58 helicopter of The Flying Bulls. After a ferry flight to Salzburg, the helicopter was disassembled, most of the parts have been sand-blasted, cleaned and prepared for re-assembly. In this video you’ll get an update on the stripped-down airframe, the detached rotor and fuselage components, and the first steps toward putting everything back together. Our Sikorsky S-58 carries the US-registration N869RB (formerly D-HAUG). Originally built in 1956, this S-58C will be the only airworthy example of its kind in Europe. Developed in the 1950s, it features a powerful radial piston engine mounted in the nose, a four-blade main rotor, and was designed for utility, transport and in earlier military versions, even anti-submarine work. Stay tuned as we track the progress of the restoration to a fully reassembled classic helicopter, ready for many more years in the skies. 👇 follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theflyingbulls ✈️ find out more about our fleet https://www.flyingbulls.at 🏛 make sure to visit Hangar-7 https://www.hangar-7.com YOUTU.BE  11/09/2026 16:12:24  Generated by Gmail URL Link Preview by cloudHQ

[Restoration Corner] Restoring the Spitfire Mk XIV - Bringing a Legendary Warbird Back to Life

https://youtu.be/tpKTcPcY-YQ?si=ehx1nD6Zq8MKMg4d

Restoring the Spitfire Mk XIV - Bringing a Legendary Warbird Back to Life Witness the incredible rebirth of a legendary Spitfire Mk XIV, restored from scrapyard relic to a high-flying icon of WWII aviation history. Discover the secrets behind Britain's most famous fighter. Join us inside the bustling Cywell Aerodrome, where a rare Spitfire FR-14 - once a daring reconnaissance plane deep over Nazi Germany - is painstakingly rebuilt for the skies. From salvaging its battered fuselage and sourcing the mighty Griffon engine, to adapting vintage wings and meticulously replicating authentic camouflage, every step of the restoration is a tribute to wartime engineering and the brave pilots who flew these missions. You'll meet Richard Grace and his dedicated team as they tackle tight deadlines, rare parts, and the technical challenges of reviving a machine that last flew in the 1950s. Through rare color footage and heartfelt interviews, this documentary delves into the Spitfire's transformation from Battle of Britain hero to high-speed spy plane, and how its legacy endures for new generations of aviators and enthusiasts. Experience the thrill of a first engine run, the tension of the maiden test flight, and the powerful stories of those whose lives were forever shaped by this remarkable aircraft. Whether you're a history buff, an aviation enthusiast, or just love stories of triumph against the odds, this is a journey not to be missed. #AviationHistory #SpitfireRestoration #WWIIPlanes #BattleOfBritain #GriffonEngine #WarbirdRevival #VintageAircraft #PlaneRestoration YOUTU.BE  11/07/2026 17:06:08  Generated by Gmail URL Link Preview by cloudHQ

World’s Only Civilian F-4 Phantom II Takes to the Skies Again - Vintage Aviation News After seven years on the ground, the Collings Foundation’s F-4 Phantom II has returned to flight from Ellington Field in Houston, Texas. Flown by former USAF Phantom pilot Harry “D-Day” Daye, the historic jet is now the only flying civilian F-4 Phantom II in North America and likely the last operational example in the United States. Its return marks the culmination of years of work by dedicated volunteers from the Collings Foundation and the Vietnam War Flight Museum.
