Catalina Airport's New Runway - Wrigley's DC-3

[@williamfletcher243]

Great video!!! Loved seeing this DC-3 at KUAO last August (2022) on my Taxi past her ramp position - a few weeks later on another visit saw her fly out, eventually headed back home :-).

[@MartyMitchell92660]

She's a real beauty!

Normally I hate any music in plane spotting footage, but this actually fits quite well

Worked on this beautiful bird back in the mid '70s. So glad that it is still looking so great..Ric Jensen from Aircraft Associates

[@MartyMitchell92660]

Thanks for helping to keep her airworthy.

Thanks you so much for this Marty, Love this Aircraft, I am sad a little that U all never get experience to older runway hump.

[@MartyMitchell92660]

Still has the hump but the bump is gone. The bump used to launch me prior to correct take-off speed.

[@orlandospencer]

Marty Mitchell hahahahaha. Yes I want the famous hump. You are saying a good headwind and hump get you to Vr faster ?

[@MartyMitchell92660]

A good headwind and the old "bump" get you there faster.

[@orlandospencer]

@@MartyMitchell92660 I will keep that in mind LOL

[@Brad366-f3s]

how often does the DC-3 go to Catalina to supply the island

[@MartyMitchell92660]

It doesn't. They use Cessna Caravans to make Costco runs in Long Beach.

[@Brad366-f3s]

[@randalljones58]

[@ianmcgillivray4935]
