(4K POV) Douglas C-47 Formation Flying | Startup, Takeoff, Landing

[@brozelmotorsports4234]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a young flight crew operating one those old birds. Love it.

[@Teri_Berk]

I aas about to write the same thing. This combination of the young and the old is rarely seen.

[@dwtees]

The C-47 was designed for 20-25 year old pilots

[@dwtees]

C47's were designed for 20 year old pilots

[@BruceCarbonLakeriver]

One of the best DC3 Cockpit videos on KZbin - love it

[@dan04r1]

I’m not a pilot but I love watching these videos. Flying this looks like a physical and mental workout.

[@valterjunior5177]

We share the same administration

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Gooneys are comparatively easy to fly and they last forever. That's why they're still around and being used to this day in a fairly large number given the planes' ages. Most are probably re-engined with turbo stuff and modern controls though.

[@claireparr4489]

Thank you for sharing this fabulous film. I loved hearing all the technical talk as well. Brilliant!! These planes will live for ever ✈️👌❤

[@eonmichaelides1415]

Brings back my happiest flying memories.I have long forgotten the A320 and B737,but the DC-3 is still fresh in my memory.

[@thomasmaier7053]

Wow! Thanks guys, this will help preserve this aircraft in the future digitally as well. It's so important to have the pilots perspectives too. Beautiful work, would love to see some more! Walkarounds, Pre flights, Planning, I'm all for it to capture what it feels like to fly a C-47 from start to finish

[@-inthefade]

this has got to be one of the coolest things you could possibly be doing for a living today. thanks for keeping this beaut alive and pretty boys!

[@blakethomas5637]

My grandpa flew right seat on a C-47 when he wasn’t flying combat gliders in WWII. Awesome!

[@kj4ilk]

mine jumped from the back as 101st in WWII :)

[@neilpatrickhairless]

That landing approach was GNARLY. Gorgeous plane.

[@ДенисЛитвинов-н4ч]

Шикарный аппарат !!!! Дуглас красивая птица, легендарная! Приятных вам полётов!

[@Blitz9H]

This brings back such great memories from my time in the Gooney Birds. I can still smell it and feel the air. We flew over a shopping mall one time with a huge American flag. That still stands out in my memory. Thank you!

[@nightfall22]

Beautiful!! I loved how the other old birds were buzzing the field during the checklist

[@johnpatterson2157]

My father was 22 years old when he became a pilot instructor at Randolph in 1942. In 1944 he went to Missouri and taught pilots how to fly the gliders hauled up by the C-47s. After the war he went to Japan and when the Korean War broke out he was flying C-47s hauling troops and supplies in and out of Korea.

[@Oldnoitall]

He could have hauled my uncle Dan Clark

I love the C-47/DC-3! Happy to see that this bird is still flying!

[@aperson7754]

Great video. My grandpa flew the Berlin airlift in these. Among his 30+ year career WW2 - Korea - Vietnam

[@ChannelAsh100]

Love it, thank you for sharing this experience with us! The sight picture is interesting with such a giant tail wheel, and the take off and landing performance is incredible with this giant machine too.

[@Storifiedbyakhil]

Thise gives me A energy when I watch thise 💫and I like the part of old Douglas clips and videos 🛩️

[@captainlawrence662]

love those old birds .. Dc 3 and beech 18 still there ! thanks for flying with you guys !

[@MartinSage]

What's going on with the right engine ?

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

On of my favorite planes. Thanks 👍 Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.

[@av8tore71]

I just got my type rating in the DC-3, very interesting aircraft to fly! Great video

[@dogfoodking]

Great job showing off an icon! Love this airframe!

[@ШамильКутумов]

Пилоты молодцы, профессионалы. Отличное видео. Очень понравилось. 👍👍👍

[@marc007a]

Enough chop, chop?😊 Wow. Cool on the low landing approach. A5 thumbs up.

[@scotabot7826]

Doesn't get much better than this!!!!

[@dwtees]

Nice Landing. Those trees looked pretty close.

[@BT-zw2ix]

With those bank angle 18:38, I'd be sweating my balls off being on that thing. Kudos to your courage!!🎉

[@RezaMoradian-mq3ce]

Thank you for this fantastic video ❤

[@jamesstephenpeyton3305]

This plane and the deHavilland Otter on floats, my two favourite birds to fly

[@MAktan-dz5xw]

The plane of my childhood dream.. good flight, good landing, congratulations

[@ericdekerle7391]

Quelle magnifique vidéo, bravo aux pilotes des appareils, quel concentration...un savoir-faire qui se pert.

[@gustavoheberle6265]

Hand Flying all the time ! 👏🏼👏🏼 Great piloting, man !

[@robertgilbert1987]

Oh yeah! My first ever flight...in an RAAF Goony bird,from Edinburgh base in Sth Aust . An air cadet in 1963. Loved it,and would trust any of these fabulous aircraft and do it again!

[@BluestreakAviation]

Oh god those trees were close on approach, holy moly

[@Antonio_Talavera]

That 360 on the runway was nuts

[@dpc111]

Excellent Video!

[@Miller_The_Cat]

Thanks for the ride.

Grate video!!! ,regards from Uruguay

[@SGT_Brobaker]

How cool is that 👍 Thank you

[@yowser8780]

Dad flew a C47 in WWII. One mission over Norway... then the European war ended. Did most of his military flying hauling troops back to the USA. Was based in Puerto Rico... then to Trinidad... (picked up troops ferried from the Azores) then to Miami. Telling us kids stories... into Miami... smoking Cuban cigars in the cockpit... propellers swing blue static arcs... He was only 22. Greatest generation.

[@willtopower2158]

Wow, seeing that was sweet!

[@jabadabadu7089]

I'm affraid of heights. I've never been on an airplane. Maybe some day, when I'll be able to afford it 😁 Nice video! Thank you!

[@erich930]

It's one of the greatest things in the world, if you don't mind the cramped economy class seats. Often, people with a fear of heights don't get their phobia triggered in an airplane for some reason.

[@cabriskus4700]

As someone who can’t even get on a ladder cause of my fear of heights. I can personally attest going on an airplane made me shit my pants and I’m never doing it again. But I find them to be very very interesting

[@SPDDTI354]

Awesome video

[@UserAlex-jt7pf]

Nice very well maintained airplane is looks like brand new classic airplane.

[@amaurirossiter3905]

SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWW, CONGRATULATIONS, WATCHING FROM BRASIL.

[@henrykoivusilta6232]

It would be wonderful if you could get the avionics system included in that camera sound system, too.

[@trevorolson9666]

Those dudes got the best job in the world.

[@jansefran1752]

Beautiful. I am IN LOVE.🛩❤👍🙏

[@garybecker4091]

8:59 I have quite a few jumps out of DC3s and to this day it is still my favorite jump ships. It didn't climb as well as other birds and got pretty chilly up at angels 14 or higher but there was just something about them that's hard to explain.

[@ВладВертинский-ю3т]

Пилоту Браво! Приземлился на 5 !

[@53classics]

Awesome video!

[@bobfitzpatrick8952]

That's Clermont County Airport - I was born in Williamsburg nearby. I've been in here in a 150 once.

[@valterjunior5177]

Night flying inside this cabin must be very good!

[@InfoWithheld]

Looks like you have to man-handle that plane! Are you doing thrust differential with your right hand?

[@Not_Lewis]

first 2 minutes: Good audio. Remaining 26 minutes: Nothing but prop noise. Good video but can I recommend trying to integrate headset audio into your videos? Radio audio would have been great to hear especially when trying to communicate formation flying.

[@robertothompson8656]

Very good !

[@nikitachirich7985]

Guys I wonder if this thing has War Emergency Power , injector switch ?? If it does, could you pull off a combat turn in it ? LOL./ Great video.

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIl-v9h]

the phrase is called "balls to the wall" because in those old WW2 planes they had little balls on the ends of the throttle/prop/mixture and when shit hit the fan you just shove everything forward. Hence, balls to the (fire) wall.

[@cecilkoselke7878]

Do you fly with the c-45 much? I think i may have snapped a pic of the pair, over Sullivan lake, in early may of last year. As a kid, my dad almost bought a deralict AT-11 for us to play in on the farm. He also owned a PT-17 at one time, that he flew.

[@VadimG-x6n]

Спасибо парни. Старая школа. Визуально. Эх!!!

[@Pilotc180]

Flying that big ol pig of a 46 in formation has to be fun; did you try loops and rolls ?🤣

[@davidr.wilson8194]

At 10:00 it would have been cool if both of you could have forward slipped all the way to touchdown on that runway ahead.

[@happiestday1823]

what is the airport?

[@NeedtoSpeak]

This is real flying…not just setting autopilot switches.

[@RusminOmercajic-zj4ky]

[@ViniciusLacerda768]

Have a Engine Pratt & Whitney R-1830?

[@AhmedAlian]

He looked down the moment the plane jumped into the air. And that was the end of the video to me.😅

[@marcostovar7968]

These planes still fly in Colombia's jungles and plains called "Llanos"

[@XLexieXBabyX]

I wish i could tell the pilot "you know it would be alot better of a time if you weren't such a hardass" lol, im a private historical fighter jet pilot and WW2 historical pilot at the same time, and formations are my thing, having a better look upon things (like your co pilot had) would have been alot better in your situation, reguardless of how stressful it is, unless you know, if your a rookie then if thats the case i totally understand, just kidding buddy haha, still great flying fellow aviators!

[@lessharratt8719]

Sounds just about right. Could always ask Dan Gryder.

[@justtim9767]

Nice.

[@MusaAtug-u3q]
