Oops my settings were off. That's better.

Interesting, but sound and video quality are very poor.

Fighting forest fires, while flying an aircraft filled with high octane aviation fuel, takes a tremendous amount of courage. The slightest spark in the wrong place at the wrong time can cause a disaster. I remember one 90 degree day, as a new mechanic working at a flying club, trying to start a Piper Arrow, I'd just fueled it at the pumps. It didn't like the heat and refused to start. I went through the startup drill several times without success, when out of the corner of my eye see two guys running towards me waving their arms and lugging fire extinguishers. The vapour locked engine was dripping fuel out the hot exhausts and lucky for me a sharp eyed pilot saw the flames start to drip to the ground. It was a harsh lesson to learn for a young mechanic. If I was flying over raging forest fires in a spark filled sky, an aircraft burning kerosene fuel would be my choice. This is why the old piston tankers aren't a great option for fire fighting, when turbo prop or jet powered aircraft are available.

Sad

These are the planes that captures the imagination !!!!! Think of the possibilities of flying around the world picking up and delivering cargo in every port !!! Incredible !!!!!

what are those white things at about 1:50 ?

Nice bird🎉

This version is stripped way down compared to the one I boarded, to increase payload obviously.

Ein wahnsinns Vogel. Leermasse nur 34,3 Tonnen. Unglaublich.👆👆👆😃😃😃😃 Viele Grüsse aus Germany

Most helicopters make that famous whistling sound when idling but this one lacks that do to this one having a piston engine

Thank you for sharing

oh the expendables plane without the bang bangs and with civilian seating instead of the military fit out

Yes i get my card back it says you earn your wings to heven maggets to e9 genrals i make angles for heven hope you know tightest omega god

If that were a car, some would call it a RESTO MOD. But she's stunning.

At 2:55, -3:00, a small Evinrude outboard hanging on the side wall??

I was a mechanic on one of these while in the Marine Corps in Seattle naval air station, SAND POINT!! Long again and long gone sadly!!

What a beautiful aircraft!

Harold the Helicopter is based off this model

What are the Victoria Royals?

Ah the wonderful sounds of turn the fuck around.

6 Cessna citation x we want supply me mizoram lunglei farm veng land go

Where's the hand crank, cause that's what she sounds like!

They should have just named it Beggar's Canyon every Star Wars fan will know. ☺

Round engine for the win ❤

The red wildcat with the raised stilts is always so sexy to see in person

❤

Awesome👍 Sure miss Penticton

beauty!!! 😎👍

I noticed a "beat" from the engines, caused I am told by the engine RPM's being slightly different. Same conversation, and I think it was a conversation with a co-worker, had it the the German multi-engine planes were notorious for that, but that Allied multi-engine set ups synchronized engine by cross-wiring the ignitions, the rotation of one engine timing the firing of other engine's spark-plugs. Seems reasonable to me.

Like 5! That looks sooo cool! 👍🏻👍🏻

That's the way God intended helicopters to sound.

The UH-12 is an honest helicopter and still one of the best ag ships around. I loved flying them.

And that's how you "Spoon" with a Helicopter!

I bet used those sounds in lots of movies.

Sad😢

I saw a prototype intermeshing blade helicopter crash in the early 1950's in Moorestown NJ killing one of the two test pilots who bailed out too low. The synchronizing gear failed and the blades contacted. I believe it was a Kaman HOK-1.

Photos would nave been a whole lot better with additional light source. Sun shine on the Captains control wheel just doesn’t get it. 😢

Sounds like an ols classic byg starting 😂😂

It's real It's an air ferry

Nice ! What is the takeoff distance of one of these on the water ?

I remember seeing an OZ Martin at IND, think they had 1 flight a day from STL. Thought it was a 440 at first!

Best machine there is QNG

Is there any clearance required before fly over the graveyard?

As of a couple of weeks ago it was still in Penticton, BC looking ready to go.

It's great how the engine (once started) didn't even seem like it was working hard to get off the ground, a pretty chill take off really.

What a waste. Tragic.

Beautiful machine!!

You better take a shower and put some of that smelly stuff on when you are flying the B-25 due to the fact you'll almost be elbow to elbow with the Co-Pilot. I never realized that the B-25 has such a tight cockpit. Almost like two very narrow cockpits that were seamed together. It does make it nice though, because all the controls are right at your fingertips and easily within reach. It also keeps the Pilot/Co-Pilot more along the centerline of the aircraft which probably made the aircraft feel like you were wearing it rather than flying it, especially in a turn or roll. The famed B-25 gun ships towards the end of the war that packed more firepower (including some models with a 75mm cannon in the nose along with six forward firing 50 caliber machine guns) than just about anything flying around the world during that time period were an absolute force to be reckoned with. These were also considered fast compared to other medium bombers of WWII. It's definitely an elegant looking plane looking similar to a P-38 in the front profile. These pilots are lucky men to be able to fly such a historical aircraft in the modern age. Hopefully restoration organizations and museums of flight will keep these aircraft operating for many years into the future so that our future generations can see, smell, and hear these warbirds as they were intended to be seen, in flight.

Not toured the fighter section or B1’s there’s so much more
