Why don't you go to Mokpo and get octopus?
SURE
But me fuel my friend
Wait....something's odd here...
A very special transportation
His transportation is a PLANE
I made it all
You made this?!
Handmade
Piloting himself
Fast Bullet Delivery
The life that I 've dreamed....
10m long wing/ 350 kg total And he MADE this
I even made this instrument panel
All of these? Yes.
It's a FULL option
The plane body, engine, mechanical equipment all self made
Even the Wright brothers would show him a respect
-May I get in? Could you ride me?
Of course
Can two people be in this plane...?
Starting
We're taking off
Driving fast
Oh my, wait
Wait wait wait
The yellow plane flying in the air
GOOD BYE PEOPLE
Magnificent gliding that makes me feel fresh
Production Crew: How high are we at?
We're at altitude of 1,100 feet so 350m above sea level
If I could see this view every day not through the screen .... <3
How far have you traveled?
To Ansan
From Yeongam to Ansan, it takes about an hour and a half
It's 4-5 hours distance on a car!!!!
Production Crew: How old is his plane?
I made this in 2000..
Received an safety approval in March, 2000
But he always checks the plane before riding
But I mean... it's not a plastic model...
It's a real one... how did you assemble all of these
I assembled all
Assembly, maintaining, piloting.. ALL SELF DONE
How can this be even possible!?
I just use textbooks ;)
This is the plane assembly plan
I used this to assemble
Yeah...I seem some pictures...
but what am I looking at rn...?
Production Crew: Just by looking at these drawings!?
Yes, just with these
This is the engine mount
the pilot's place, cockpit
Humm... I see.. :)
(Rationality)
Though he had drawings, he had to assemble thousands of parts
But he did EVERYTHING by himself! Remember, he's not an expert...!
For about 17 years from 1983 to 2000
I just studied and researched continuously
But I finished making it within 6 months
He even has aircraft maintenance technician certificate and pilot certificate
His special love towards plane
His love has started ever since he was young
O-1G observation aircraft used to spread the flyers when I was young
I used to pick up those flyers looking at the plane
And I just fell in love with it
I used to skip school and just enjoy looking at planes
I just loved planes..
Which made him apply for air force
I was the only one who applied for air force out of interest in airplanes
Just because he loved planes...
Even after he got discharged, his passion in aircraft didn't lose its power
After 17 years of trying hard
He managed to create his yellow plane
If someone asks me if my 17 years were boring and tiring,
I would say, no. Not at all
I was so happy that I was making my own aircraft
In a small tent,
I studied and researched even on a rainy day
The fact that I was making my plane made me so overwhelming
I fly high today
My own handmade aircraft after 17 years of trying
Total travel time 4,500 hours About 13 laps around the earth
His whole 66 years were full of expectation and happiness because of a plane
I fly high today
Even the sound of engine and prop makes me excited
Nothing in the world can make me this happy
A plane is my friend that I won't let go til the end of my life.
