"D-Day DC-3 Walk Around" Plane Savers E96

[@DavidG62]

That someone would give you a room in their basement shows what great people Québécois are and that they are invested in the project.

[@RupertAH]

They are paying to stay there.

3 things there Mikey,, when living in the field with a woman,,Make her happy then you will be happy . You need a porto craper for her and every one else,, Either cut the fence or build a "Stile",, more or less a double sided set of steps with a hand rail , Looks like a A frame ladder with a hand rail. and a 20' container for a shop/ break room with drinks and coffee and some chairs and a table or two with a Coleman stove for small cooking . Trust me on this one,, it will save all lots of cash and time in trips to a store and eating . Keep up the good work Mikey !!

[@rocketlife9549]

Seeing that gentleman building the model brought back a ton of memories. Building and flying models with my dad is how I got into aviation

[@kennethscofield4565]

One thing about watching all these plane savers episodes...my bucket list is getting longer and longer, now add the dakota inn! ✍😄

[@sarinaman]

Hello Mikey and Stella. Please pass a big thankyou to your Hostess from us BRISBANE IN AUSTRALIA FOR PROVIDING YOU GUYS (& DOG) WITH SUCH A GREAT BASE.

[@massimilianoleveratto233]

So Mikey....me and Veronica we wish you good luck and we continue follow DTD restoration update!

[@chrisc161]

Now the fun begins. This is what I was waiting all along to see the restoration.

[@larryhenderson3314]

Let the games Begin !!!! thanks all the video's sent in , We do enjoy all of them Have a great evening Mickie an Stella

[@THOMMGB]

Mikey, I hope you and Stella have a good time on date night. The IMAX movie will be fun no matter what the movie subject matter is. You should get what's left of that aileron signed by everybody that's involved with getting this plane in the air again and keep it for your museum. Regards, Tom

[@crushingvanessa3277]

Nice of the people there to give you a place to stay, who says Quebecois aren't nice, most of them are, just like anywhere else. Someday I'll get over to visit there.

[@jkentsan]

Emergency Cola? Must have booze in it. Ha. Thanks for all your effort Mikey. I know it takes a lot of time and creativity to put an episode together. We all appreciate it.

[@libertyforever4270]

Neat retro airport in Normandy. Have a safe trip Ron!

[@182QKFTW]

Fine sandpaper, followed by finer sandpaper, followed by a polishing compound should have those windows looking like new- Good luck

[@FreedomFighter-cr5xg]

The ad about how great the Insurance Companies are made me laugh .. when my car was stolen my Insurance Company was a joke .. they did everything to ensure I had a bad experience .. LOL ..

[@sr-71blackbird92]

Show gets better everyday. Good luck to the whole crew👍👍👍👍👍

[@rogergusty1802]

Thanks Mikey and all. Another great episode. That was certainly worth setting the alarm clock for.

[@robbalinski1606]

soooo will I be seeing this beauty in yellow knife this winter?

[@patrickdavey9692]

As a model builder myself, can't wait to see thearts going onto that airframe to complete the grand old lady! Can't they give you a tempory gate in the fence for now, surely that would not be a massive undertaking? Thanks Mikey, enjoy your date night, I think Stella deserves a spoil after all her hard work preparing for this project.

[@galenn796]

Best wishes and good luck! I hope all goes well for you and look forward to the updates. You are doing an awesome job.

[@jonetveitane]

Mikey, check out if there is someone in the area that is doing dry ice blasting. It is a very gentle way of paint and dirt removal. Would be perfect for removing paint off the windows without damage

[@ILLEagle_1]

That guillows DC-3 is amazing, on my list to build after my P-47!

[@hollybridgeman7914]

You guys have hit the jackpot in Montreal. Mr Stukes is so lucky, has his foot heeled now? Hope you enjoyed your date night too

[@MaShcode]

Must be surreal to be finally getting ready to rebuild that sucker. You have lots of people pulling for you.

[@tonylarkin7564]

Great show again... A Great Team Effort Thanks for the great walk around Cheers Mate

[@LeaMacDonald]

Present!!!! Great episode! Loved the walk around! Also loved the supplemental videos! :)

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Awesome. Marvellous to see people still modelling in balsa and tissue. You actually learn so much about aircraft building like that. I loved it as a kid. A bien tôt Mikey , Stella and Stuka 👍

[@deanfischer4746]

keep em coming Mikey we are always rooting for you here in Winnipeg !!!!!!

[@1SeanBond]

Awesome people that helped out in the accommodations!👍 Nice job and thanks for the great content just as you said Mikey!✌Cheers all!#96 best show ever on KZbin!!

[@markhayes100]

Good afternoon everyone, I’m patiently waiting for a 4 1/2 minute commercial for some kind of space age car wax to play through so I can get my daily Plane Savers fix! Looking forward to the walk around video.

[@jessievato]

I watch the full ads too ......so they can get the ad revenue. ..my little part

[@DavidG62]

Gotta love Europe. As Karsten( hope I got it right) says “ while I drink the plane is refuelled. ‘ can you imagine it here. Not a hope in hades.

[@avalonbear61]

You should put the old tires on E-bay.

[@johnmccallum9542]

@Ian Mangham x2

[@01spm]

the shipping cost will be very expensive, near to 80 pounds each.

[@avalonbear61]

shipping cost can be added to the final auction cost @@01spm

[@avalonbear61]

Just hope some one from Down-under is not the winner, that would be a chunk of change to ship.

[@ufm10xxl27]

Thanks Mikey. Your at the races now for sure. Have a great week

[@newholland5478]

Saw this earlier while under a D-Day dc3 at sun n fun

[@dannysimon2320]

Used to paint cars, single edge razor blade in holder handle makes easy paint remover on glass

[@ChevTecGroup]

It's possibly not glass though, likely plastic and would just scratch. Though you can find and buff it well enough for a side window

[@crazybrit-nasafan]

Another awesome episode. Great to look around DTD again. For paint stripper i have used Ardrox on a Meteor T7 canopy frame with great results. If you check out the DC3 walk round on my channel that was stripped using the same stuff. Also have to state i amnot connected with the company that makes it, am just a satisfied end user. All the best of luck with DTD. Greg.

[@Robert-rt9ho]

Great episode mikey love that so many people are helping you guys out wish I could be up there to help save her can’t wait to see when it all gets going and you start pulling dtd apart

[@paulyoung181]

Mikey, have you thought of making a plaque... "This plane resurrected with the help from..." and list the donor planes and top supporters?

[@digsbyjames7726]

Loved it. Can't wait to see tomorrow nights.

[@joeydrexler4430]

I wonder if a pressure washer would get the paint off the windows

[@rodchisholm9443]

Great episode of Plane Savers, good luck with the golf cart. Looking forward to see work start on DTD. Cheers Mikey from Pattaya Thailand. 😀😀

[@michaelstern1945]

I am positive someone will come up with the golf cart there are many generous people in Canada.

[@upnorthyooper1196]

Date night! you lucky dog.

[@ricklosangeles5043]

Stuka's like "Where and the hell are we"?

[@06sonata40]

Now the really fun part begins!!!! Again best wishes to you Mikey, Stella, Stuka, Ronney and all the volunteers for this part of the adventure. You'll to make up a sigh that says" Welcome to Base Camp Plane Savers"! Have a great date night. Cheers!

[@DougHanchard]

Let the flight planning begin!!

[@Fantazzim]

Maybe sand the paint off the plexiglass windows. Then go up in sandpaper grit, then polish. They were probably yellowed and crazed anyway before someone spray painted them. Is there a way to chemically strip paint from plexiglass without ruining it?

[@angelreading5098]

While you were walking around DTD Mikey I was mentally listing the jobs to be done,I used to restore de Havilland Heron and Dove aircraft from the ground up at Coventry in big demand before the biz jets came in and believe me know the workload involved in getting these aircraft flying,yes all that paint has to come off because the metal underneath will need to be looked at and the odd metal repair done too,Ronnie knows the score all too well and will need all the help he can get labourwise in the coming weeks,breaking down the jobs and preparing a working list that you can tick off is the way forward,the reality is setting in or the enormity of all of this aircraft are large objects as you well know. Not sure if a walnut shell safe bead blaster would help in getting some of that paint off Kermit Weeks has been using one successfully on his aircraft now for some time it is still labour intensive and the shells can be recycled ,but paint stripper is horrible stuff to work with even the eco friendly type. Glad that you have such wonderful accomodation thanks to that lovely kind lady and Stuka looks happy too,enjoy your evening sir.

[@RosscoXtraconz]

Hi Mickey ,Why not put a temporary bridge across the ditch , Surely there must be some timber or even some sheets of steel around to do this, Its not that wide, It sure beats walking around that course each day, Ross

[@larryhenderson3314]

Larry Henderson 1 second ago Temperately put an opening in, take about 1/2 hour if they will let you and install temp or permanent gate be a good thank you gift if possible with school

[@waynebarnes2679]

Hey Mikey great video. Just a thought maybe even if someone had a side by side crew you may be able to use it at the airport.

[@renoflames]

It is going to cost a Million Dollars to do a Total Re-manufacture of that D-Day bird. It will be worth it.

[@bobherron4573]

Hey Mikey Thanks great see to DTD I wish you guys had a hanger to work in ; makd the work easier for you all Really admire what you all doing , wish I was there with you guys . I helped take a couple of engines off a DC-3 at Calgary International Airport a few years back It had been invouled in an accident & was a w/o CF - ??? or C- ???? Was intresting work enjoyed the experience, although a little cold , great fun If any one has any i formation on the aircraft I would like to hear from you please We were working near the Field Hanger in vacant area Was helping a friend Darrell and serveral others with the task And being shown Canadian hosbitality was Great, along with good Beer Company and Food ......

[@willstadnyk5937]

Way to go Mikey, plenty of work ahead but we know you can get it done👍 Always remember you got PLENTY of enthusiasts behind you!! Cheers.

Ive been to Quebec twice but never to Montreal yet.

What happened to the golf cart you took to Oshkosh back in Ice Pilots days?

[@neillh]

Mikey are you going to replace steps with the original cargo doors.

[@davehallier8584]

EBay any and all discarded parts or pieces Mikey, great way to increase donations and fan memorabilia!

[@TheDoug9901]

Mickey you looked stressed Stella always looks cool

[@markwarwick2920]

Hey Mikey put the old ailerons on EBay plus any other significant parts. As always it’s great viewing. I hope you get the cart or even a quad.

[@sharoncassell9358]

What teamwork. Great.

[@dmc2554]

And the ambient TEMPERATURE was......................? I'd even accept Degrees Kelvin just fer laffs

[@gnexus01]

How do you guys find tires for the DC-3's all the time, seeing as it would be the part that would be replaced the most often ? I'm guessing it doesn't have to specific to a DC-3 ?

[@Benoit6ft6]

They are still produced (tires and inner tubes) - and expensive.

[@avalonbear61]

Great name Idea"Pieces parts"!

[@MrLuckyLucan]

Mikey, do you think you will ever be able to bring her to Europe?

[@davidharris2519]

miss the airplanes in the background noise and you could give the golf cart to your dad for letting you have so much time away from your job maybe AC or westjet can help you out with the paint and get the CBC involved free press in other words you forgot the wx report

[@bradtaulbee8620]

What happened to the golf cart you guys fixed up for your dad on ice pilots for Oshkosh

[@jamesglenn2006]

Hey Mikey, awesome update. Have a great 3date night guys!!

[@lilly22road]

Maybe a large A frame ladder over fence to save the walk around

[@MurraydeLues]

Might be a problem with the airport. They are usually very touchy about the boundary and access between airside and landside. The fence is there for a good reason. Although at some point the taxiway went to the hangar behind it.

[@betty1993]

Drive safely Ronnie x

[@froggyziffle]

Are you going to need de-ice boots in June?

[@jimburig7064]

Enjoy that Imax, Mikey and Stella!

[@pourquoiunidentifiant]

What you are looking for (golf cart) is named ''Voiturette de golf'' small search on google and you will find plenty ;) remember there is a golf course just aside the airport

[@pourquoiunidentifiant]

you could also look for a VTT (ATV) easily find for under 1000$ on Kijiji or Lespac (the 2 large local classified ads sites)

[@geraldschaerig1768]

Enjoy a quiet evening with Stella , the next few weeks will be a storm.

[@patrickdavey9692]

The parts!

[@bobnorton6556]

Build a temporary bridge over the ditch.

[@SuperM1687]

I saw the long walk on the first day you filmed at the airport. Not the best conditions. You definitely need a golf cart or two along with a golf cart trailer of some sort.

It would have been nice if you could have got hangar space. With hangar space, you wouldn't have to worry about the weather.

The only hangar able to fit a DC-3 is used until May 1st, it was not possible to wait until this time.
