Aerosol Colombia DC-6 Flight Villavicencio to Mitu

[@scottvernon7347]

I JUST got back from Villavienceno... am now in Bogota!!!! Retired American Airlines here........ enjoyed my time there.... back to FTW tomorrow....

[@JetFlix]

Did you see a lot of good classic old prop liner still working as shown in this video? Or is the era over down there?

[@MH-fb5kr]

A true workhorse of the skies…. BRAVO

[@sleaosilva6431]

Es muy bueno verlos en vuelo con estes aviones es mi sueño pilotear ya fue estudiate de la aviacion pero no tuve dinero para concluir el curso mas sigo con mis sueños y mi gusta especialmiente los dc 3, son maquinas infernales mismo con su edad nos traen recuerdos y pruebas cuanto es robusto y duradoro ,gracias amigos desde brasil.

[@MIGUEHARRIER]

Bery good video!!! Fantastic classic in Colombia!!!

[@henrytenby6735]

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed my Colombia propliner video.

[@hughvane]

Brings back memories of my flight in 1967 from Auckland NZ, to Brisbane, to Darwin, and finally to Singapore. The DC-6 was the NZ Air Force's personnel transport plane at that time.

[@JetFlix]

Fantastic flight you had! Did you take movies or colour slides?

[@hughvane]

@@JetFlix My only camera back in 1967 was a box brownie, neither practical nor permitted. The Air Force used the trip not only to transfer personnel to Changi, but to train flight crew on touch-and-go between Brisbane and Darwin. It was certainly a memorable journey.

[@royalanania3306]

The engine cowling on this DC-6 looks better that the Red Bull full restoration.

[@JetFlix]

Interesting observation. Thst said I think the Red Bull people are a bunch of snobs.

[@APVW-aviation-videos]

Did the same flight in this DC-6! I see my good friend Peter Gralla.

[@JetFlix]

Wow you are very lucky Alex. Sadly I never got to do an aviation enthusiast visit to Colombia.

[@APVW-aviation-videos]

@@JetFlix Soon you can see footage of my flight on my youtube channel. I was sitting next to an open emergency exit and my face was covered by oil drops after the flight.

[@alanburge2725]

From another time. The 50s and 60s. An old DC6. Wow what a flashback.

[@JetFlix]

Thank you Alan .. these 4 engined Propliners are now long gone even in South America.

[@PeterNGloor]

These R2800 's are the best-sounding radial engines

[@JetFlix]

Specially on full power for take off and climb out.

[@bradleypeterson2208]

@@JetFlix we still get to hear that sound in Anchorage and Fairbanks, it’s such a treat, only three left flying regularly out of ANC

[@predatorec]

Omg thank you for this!

[@JetFlix]

Thank you Rodolfo, I am glad you enjoyed it. I do not think this DC-6 is still flying as this was filmed back in 2001.

[@predatorec]

@@JetFlix no she was scrapped some years ago.. however you can still see the front section of the cockpit still around saved from the axe still near the hangars though.

[@JetFlix]

Are there still classic propliners flying at Villavicencio? I understand there are almost none left.

[@predatorec]

@@JetFlix yes a few dc-3 still fly there in daily deep jungle runs, sadly a tragic accident early last year is rising eyebrows and I don't think they will be flying for long... You better come down here and film before they are gone.

[@JetFlix]

Yes I heard about this ... and these are possibly the final months. But I was not sure. I have always wanted to visit Villavicencio going back to the 1980s and never made it. Without the propliners how will they move the cargo to the remote locations? With Cessna Caravans? Or other less efficient modern types? By the way I have another tape from Chris Mak showing all the other propliners back in 2001 and I will post it soon. There was also an An-32 working there at the time, it really is a fascinating place.

[@jamesgovett3225]

Geez your game flying on that crate, looks like the inner U bolts nut holding the front wheels axle to its fork on its RHS has broken off its nut @ 4.41 some time ago by the looks of it, and if that’s the case I could just imagine what the rest of the P O S is like, if that thing augered into the ground it probably wouldn’t make any headlines either, Strewth!!

[@CAPCHAVARRO]

Last guy climbing the ladder going up the plane is Mr Peter Gralla?

[@JetFlix]

I do not know any of the people as I did not take the video, it was filmed by jetflix.tv videographer Chris Mak.

[@elmundodegatito8198]

Good video,when was the flight filmed?

[@JetFlix]

2008 thereabouts

[@alanburge2725]

I love the facilities. State of the art. Carry things up a ladder. Of course I am just joking. No need to be offended. I can imagine this plane crossing the country serving people. Goods and services. Mail. All sorts of things. Like in Alaska and places like that. A plane is vital. Transport. Without planes certain places in the world would cease to function. No road access. Maybe water access if lucky.

[@victorhmd1982]

Aun puedo volar en uno de esos bellos aviones? Como podria abordar uno? Solo he llegado a Bogotá y al aeropuerto de Medellín. Gracias

[@JetFlix]

I am thrilled you enjoyed my video .. 😄😄✈️✈️👍

[@orlandoaguirre2884]

Esta película fácilmente tiene entre 30 y 35 años de antigüedad. El DC 6 dejó de volar en Colombia hace igual numero de años, y para la época solo se los veía en Villavicencio cumpliendo verdaderos vuelos de enlace entre comunidades indígenas apartadas donde la única forma de llegar es por cano en viajes de entre tres días y semanas de viaje o por DC 3, que ya quedan pocos. Los DC 4, DC 6 y Curtis C 46 fueron desapareciendo paulatinamente por resultar extremadamente obsoletos y costosos de mantener. El personal armado que se observa en el primitivo aeropuerto son miembros de la Policía Nacional que para esa época mas o menos fueron atacados y sometidos en Mitú por las FARC en una toma y secuestro que duro 12 años. Esto para que te hagas una idea del valor que representan aun hoy en día los viejos aviones de la IIWW, principalmente el DC3.si eres aventurero y realmente aprecias el DC6 y el C46 en Alaska existe EVERET que tiene una flota respetable de unos y otros, al igual que en Canadá que los opera BUFALO. La razón por la cual en estos dos paises de economías tan fuertes y ricas operen aun estos hermosos dinosaurios es exactamente la misma que asiste a Colombia, regiones apartadas donde lo único que llega es el rio, la canoa y el DC3.

[@melvyncox3361]

Shame she's scrapped.More reliable than a MAX (sic...)...

[@henrytenby6735]

The Max is a disgrace for Boeing .... I will avoid flying on the Boeing Max at all costs in the future.

[@bradleypeterson2208]

The DC-6 had something very similar happen to it, the cabin heater fuel can drain line was too near the cabin heater intake and several planes caught fire and crashed killing all aboard when the plane was new, grounding all 6s for months. Not quite the same level of negligence AFAIK, but similar

[@flashesofblack4128]

I noticed some men carrying machine guns. What is up with that? Great video anyway!

[@JetFlix]

Not sure .. must be Colombian police or military guards at the airport

[@flashesofblack4128]

@@JetFlix The last time I saw something like this was when I was an electrician for Tacoma Electric in Washington state. We had to do some electrical work at Bangor submarine base. There were armed guards all over the place. Before we began our work, we had a safety briefing. We were told that if a guard comes up to you and tells you to lie flat and put your face in the mud, if you were to refuse, the guard WILL shoot you dead!!! They meant business!

[@alejobuc50]

En aquella epoca, si que eramos tan tercer mundo xD, al dia de hoy todavia siguen volando algunos dinosaurios.

[@JetFlix]

Colombia siempre ha tenido aviones fascinantes porque los aviones más antiguos pueden hacer un mejor trabajo que los aviones más nuevos en un entorno exigente. Colombia tiene una historia asombrosa de la aviación, siendo Aviancia una de las aerolíneas más antiguas del mundo.

Hello friend, excellent video, thanks for sharing it, I would like to ask you a question, do you have any video of Curtiss c-46 in Villavicencio? I would love to see one, my uncle was a mechanic in the last curtiss that crashed in Villavicencio in 2000. thank you so much.

[@henrytenby6735]

I have a video from flying on a C-46 in Bolivia which in time I will release a preview here on KZbin. But sadly I do not have more C-46 video from Villavicenio.
