Nice

Ese dc3 , me parece que es de los que hacían vuelos semanales a Canaima, una experiencia única, volaba casi arriba de los árboles.. increíble.

Beautiful

IMO it is a pity they did not convert these things to turboprops and keep flying them. The _Flying Boxcar_ just looks _cool._

I remember seeing them in Da Nang in '72 and '73. Rear cargo door removed from the aircraft. Painted all black. I believe it had an M-134 sticking out the back end. I also remember they were unusually quiet. They would taxi past our revetments, and you didn't even need hearing protection on...

TurboProps seem to be the engine that the DC3's were waiting for.

Grande mamute.

👏👏👍👍💪💪👊👊

That looked like The Flight of the Phoenix al over again. That right engine was a bit fouled up, but what a beauty. Looks l ike Canada, somewhere. The other bird looked like a Convair 240/340. Very nice. Beautiful.

OPF really had some insane aviation history in and out of there. Look at all the retros in these clips so crazy

The sound of the engines so beautiful. Iv worked on DC4 for many years

I love how quick these engines start.

does this thing have water rudders?

CP 973, no era el avión de Transportes Aéreos Bolivar que aterrizó en el río Irpavi en 1983? Al mando del Coronel Juan Grifits?

Crashed .18 February 1993. The airframe was written off . The cargo flight departed Santo Domingo-Las Americas International Airport , Dominican Republic. Ran off the runway following a no. 4 engine failure on takeoff . Occupants: 3 ,no fatalities.

First time I got on an aircraft that the captain wasn't speaking English, I was thinking 🤔 no way this guy can fly😮 no f ing way .😂 takes a while to get used to . Old pilot likely had more hrs on a 727 than any pilot I've flown with 😊

No blindspots on that cockpit 😊

I often ponder … why would someone in their right mind decide … “hmm what kinda aircraft can we afford that runs starts up easier& in extreme cold weather… thin air… that’s cost effective to transport and haul FUEL TO REMOTE PARTS OF ALASKA ?” Literally cost effective and has capacity to haul large loads … mind blowing these businesses are to make most profit outta business … soooo what shall they fly to do such duties and deliveries at the most bang for the owners buck?

How was she when y’all had er? Any specific timing issues

Am looking for a vintage flying boat called Zulu lulu being from South Africa 🇿🇦 seeing an old pic of it mored in congella Durban South Africa in the 40s captivated me anyone with a pic of the flying boat called Zulu lulu please post it here or drop a link 😂

I have flown on propeller driven airlinets twice in my life. When I was a kid family flew back to us from Europe instead of ship. Also as a teen from Fresno to San Francisco. Back in the 1960's. I don't remember just what they were DC 6 DC 7 as this was _55 to 59 years ago

First airplane I ever rode in, I jumped out of. A C-119 at Fort Beginning.

I've been around this plane for well over a decade now and I've never seen it fly. But every day I still pass it on the road.

Hi, what routes had the IL-62 in alaska?

Great video!!

Air America

Romans conquer 3/4 of earth h20@water the rest was cake walk. The plane hard on ship.

Hvac revolutionised.

First air conditioned fresh air jet 1953 concept.

Michael, is there a video about a cold start somewhere? I had the rare opportunity to fly in a DC-4 twice with Flippie.

best, and most instructive video I have found on the net. Thanks, Flippie.

That is shitty video footage. Was it recorded withy a 1980's camcorder?

Creo que era yo

Mi tio pilo volaba ese avion con el ex general echavarria

Does the commentator ever shut up with his in inanities so we can hear the music of the radials.

Pity she is parked with her nose wheel anything but straight. Nose wheel or tail wheel, when stationary nothing but dead straight.

❤❤

This Curtiss C-46 was one of two airplanes that competed with the DC-3. The other one was the Boeing 247.

This one is named, "Dumbo."

Its so cool watching the flames coming out of the power recovery turbine on engine#4

C46, matrícula CP 1319, prueba de motores sobre el lago titicaca, a mas de 4.000 mts snm. Bolivia

I was at this airshow as a 11 year old thank you so much for sharing this!!

This aircraft has crashed. 2 dead RIP

The way engine #1 just falls off the wing and compromises the entirety of the flight controls blows my mind that they still use these planes. Smfh.

Hermoso Avión el de Lloyd saliendo desde el Jorge Wiltermann de Cbba con destino Santa Cruz.

Canaima - i was there 😎

just heard they had a c54 go down in Alaska just after takeoff. i hope its not this one. its never a good thing when an aircraft crashes .

Music to my ears

il me semble qu ils sont proches des hélices ?
