What I really love about this video-cameras work. Also this is a great airplane presentation. My uncle use to fly this bird in USSR for 30 years long time ago. And for some reason 99% of soviet union people so believe this aircraft was designed in USSR, and they called this model Li-2(Ли-2) which is totally wrong. My sub for your awesome job.
@brunsy1990
@brunsy1990 28 күн бұрын
Li-2 was a Soviet built licensed production DC-3, produced in Moscow until '41 and used Russian engines. Somewhere between 4k and 6k built. Was even used as an improvised bomber during WW2. Honestly, I can see why it would be widely believed within Russia... It is definitely a design that fits with the Soviet design ethos. Utilitarian interior and so overbuilt it'd last generations if properly maintained. (was usally production quality not design quality in combination with poor maintenance practices that plagued the USSR and tbh still plagues the Russian military) video of the last known flying Li-2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqvcgWp5l7aDlaM

if a DC 3 was a person he would be that unassuming 80 year old guy. when you see him you think it just some old guy but when crap hits the fan he is the first guy in the thick of it and yelling at you why in the hell are you standing there come and give us a hand. and he will out work all the young guys there because it aint even the worst day he has had.

On October 6, I was sitting on my porch in Flat Rock, NC (less than a mile from the Hendersonville airport) and had a DC-3 fly over at about 200 feet. I don't think it was you all as this bird had invasion stripes. Anyway - I wasn't in a good place at that time and seeing my favorite aircraft fly overhead (the first time I've ever seen one in the air) was a much needed morale boost. So, even though it wasn't your aircraft I want to let you know that y'all provided more than just much needed supplies - you brought hope. Thanks a bunch from all of us up here!
