June 2024 - My 13 year old son and I just took the budd car from Sudbury to White River and back. We stayed the night in White River. It was such a cool experience! My son keeps asking when I’m going to book tickets again!

Man….to be a spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain ….

I grew up in Sudbury and always thought of it as Northern Ontario until I once worked as a relief telegrapher on Canadian Pacific Railway in the mid 50's between Sudbury to White River. What a wilderness, how remote, how eye opening. Back then, the only way in or out was to arrange in advance with the train dispatchers for a freight train pickup or drop off with a caboose. Then BUDD was introduced and although it was a midget compared to the mighty big freight trains at least it would toddle along like a toonerville trolley and do pick ups and stops. I never forgot the vast wilderness north and west of Sudbury and grew to appreciate just how big and vast the province of Ontario was and is. It's 2/12 times the size of France.

Thank you so much for your video.

Do you know when the drag mechanism was replaced with a wheel on the tail the gipsy moth? were gipsy moths fitted with back wheels in the 30's?

Loved seeing this. I flew one in 2010 a 1929 Moth in the UK. I'm currently building one in 3D do you have any close up references of the tail wheel? the one i flew didnt have a wheel mechanism.

❤❤❤

I had the privilege to sit in that very Spitfire yesterday at Geneseo sat show 7/13/24. A really kind mechanic offered me the chance to do something the 7 year old in me would dream of for 50 years to come true. What an incredible feeling to first time watch one fly and to actually be able to do that. Thank you to the mechanics and the pilot for such a wonderful day . As a pilot and a+p mechanic I truly appreciate the work ,dedication and skill involved in keeping such a beautiful aircraft operating and flying in top performance. I hope to come to Canada to see you again someday, Thank you all so much. David

I love the RDC

Thank you so much for posting. Been flying simulated ones as the closest I will get. My favourite aircraft of all time. Always will be. Hundreds of them were based in Surrey airfields all around me 84 years ago.

Luckiest man alive.

He has the best job on the planet 💯👌🥰🥰🥹🥹

I got into a spin in dcs made it out=barely! What's correct procedure to recover from A spin? Thx

What an absolute delight, a beautiful aircraft and tribute to the design and restoration of an icon. Thank you for flying and sharing this experience with us.

Goddammit ! Get it started and off the ground already !

For the last week I've been trying to remember when the Lysander first grabbed my attention as a young boy - anyone else remember the 60s BBC series Moonstrike....?

Great vid Dave! Tks for sharing :-)

Thank you for posting this. Great footage.

Great view - lots of glass there................

Turns on a Dime! So Jealous! I wish I could fly in one, let alone being in control of one. Wow. Thank's Dave.

Love a Lysander!

We're you able to try out the wind filter? 😊

What a great view from that flight deck. Thanks, Dave!!! 👍

No idea why but I’ve always thought they were pretty!

I’ll see you at the Gatineau airshow 2024

If you’re inside one of those planes and you’re the pilots, I have something to say that I actually saw you just today flyover Gatineau and landing May 31 Friday 2024

A fascinating insight into a very interesting aircraft. Thank You.

"What a privilege to have done this!" Absolutely! And what a privilege it is to be taken along for the ride! Thank you so much for sharing this.

Great airplane.

I first started working for the CPR in 1968 on The Canadian. The train used the same route as the Budd car but unfortunately it didn't stop if you wanted to get off like the Budd. The train continued on to Thunder Bay and part of the route was on the north shore of Lake Superior which was spectacular.

J'adore cet avion, c'est le plus beau de la seconde guerre à mes yeux en plus d'être efficace ❤

Wish there was a love button… Thumbs up just ain’t enough!

Amazing view!

I used to be a technician with CN Telecommunications and worked in Northern Ontario back in the mid 70s. CN had a similar service called the "mini train", though not with Budd cars. However, I had been on Budds elsewhere. Back then, I also had flag stops, but not your way. As an employee, I had access to the dispatcher's phone. In fact, my work occasionally included fixing that phone. When I needed a ride, I'd get on the phone and ask for a stop, often on a passenger train, including the Super Continental, but more likely a freight. Some of the places I was in also had a food stash and a bunk, just in case it was a long wait. There was one trip where I came back to Capreol on a gas car, of the type the track crews used.

What a beauty!! Nav Lights not required? I thought that it was mandatory.

how bad’s the p-torque on that when you get over 50kts?

Hi Dave, how do we make contact? We are working with National Museum of the Royal Navy in the UK, I wondered if you can help us with some footage for 80th D-Day?

I used to ride a Via Rail Budd Car from Courtnay to Duncan on Vancouver Island every Sunday in the early 1990's

Hi Dave, can I ask you if you use rudder on that rolls and 4-point rolls or it isn´t necessary? And when you are doing loop, you need to decrease filling pressure on way down or not to prevent engine or prop overrev? Thank you very much.

Wonderful thank you very much. <:o)

I could literally watch that all day

Awesome!!

Feeding the algorithm… Thanks makes me question my life choices lol

That’s awesome. Glad you finally got a weather break

Thanks for sharing this Dave! Beautiful!!

Probably two of the three most beautiful aircraft in the world flying together. Thank you.

Beautiful aircraft. Thank you for sharing!
