Dan...lots of evil forces working against you...just remember that lots of people here love you and love what you are doing.

[@richardbarry943]

Thank you Dan. Love your channel and honesty!

[@GuyFromSC]

Very very cool. How nice it fly that beautiful beast around, go out to eat with Dan, and then stay the night in it. I’m jealous 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@tedhughes5187]

I'm a part 91 commercial, instrument-rated, and part 107 pilot, and the coordination between you and the drone pilot was beautiful. The drone pilot did a nice job staying safe and keeping his distance without sacrificing good footage.

[@kmg501]

The video by drone is mind blowing. I could swear some of that looked like flight sim video mixed in.

[@RockyTopAviator]

Agreed!

[@gracelandone]

Excellent. My favorite backseater experience was as an 11-year-old in a Central Airlines DC-3 in 1969. It was the mail-run from Dallas to Tulsa which meant a stop about every 30 miles, maybe 7? stops. This video helps me understand how much fun/work those pilots must have had.

[@rahinlandvalley]

The drone shots were perfect. All flight vids should be done this way

[@DexKoontz]

Wow! The drone really added to the video! Some of the shots were so good, that parts of the landing and taxiing looked almost CGI. Wow! Nice video!

[@Dennco2000]

Awe damn, I just added something to my bucket list. My first airplane ride was a Bahamas Airways DC3 in 1965. I remember the up hill climb to my seat. I was 13 years old. To actually fly one now would be epic. I’ll be in touch Dan.

[@vwfanatic2390]

My favorite part of this video was the cooperative comms detailing what each of you were going to do.

[@markfischer965]

My dad flew DC3s for North Central.

[@joekelley1014]

Great video, I felt like I was in the cockpit with you guys! When Northeast Airlines was flying, they flew DC 3s. My friends Father worked for them and he took us out to Dow AFB in Bangor (ME) and let us look at the plane. Northeast had an agreement to use a small building and ramp on the base for its' operations. The flew DC 6s as well. Dow AFB closed in 1968 and became Bangor International Airport. Delta Airlines bought out Northeast Airlines. Ancient history now! Thanks!

[@offshoretinker]

Looks like it was a blast!! Nice job all around. The DC-3 is one year older than my dad. Both are in good shape for their age. 😊

[@JSFGuy]

One or both could use a turbo prop upgrade?

[@davidcubero2137]

VERY WELL DONE!!! I flew DC-9'S/MD-80'S to 90'S, but I've Never Flown a DC-3!!! My Dad did once, but I never had the opportunity. Maybe One Day!!!

My family and I took this plane from New York to Miami Florida in April 1950 on Eastern Airways. Flew the DC 7 on TWA on the way back. Due to my age at the time I was way outside my comfort zone.

[@nunya2954]

Sounds like it was GREAT FUN. WOW, JUST WOW. WHAT A NICE COUPLE

[@billjobes1851]

Awesome ! Totally enjoyable to watch.

[@billolgaau]

I went strait out of a Dh82 Tiger Moth biplane to a DC3 having never flown twins, Retractable U/c or constant speed props, now that was a Baptism! 1,600 hours later I think I got the hang of it.😊 (Nearly all those hours on R1820 Cyclones with 24 hours on R1830 Pratts).

[@stevenlechner]

Special permits or permissions to fly a drone over/near active runways??? Serious question.

Watching the DC3, think what is must have been like flying in tight formations, with flak, on 6th June 1944, during D-Day, landings....;)

[@ShaneFawnl76]

That's a real cool rescue plane she looks good

[@sniper1967]

The first climb out only seemed like 100-200 ft/min 😮

[@tomporterfield4751]

I love your videos, especially when the DC-3 is involved and respect and admire your safety concerns and educating general aviation personal. That being said, I don't understand why you would enter an active runway before you did your runup checks and setting up the DC-3 for takeoff. We were all taught to do those checks before we entered the runway. Once on the runway we don't dilly dally around, we start our takeoff roll so as not to impede arriving traffic. It did look impressive though.

[@nunya2954]

Maybe they got permission, it doesn't look like a super busy airport

[@robinmyman]

Nice one…as a PPL it would have been nice to see the instruments.

Good on that guy. He seems to want to be private, but I think I have been following him on KZbin. We have a common issue, "Duralloy + Laser". I'm deeper into it than him, financially will never be able to fly now. Only flying I will be able to do is filming Mother Nature with a drone.

I wish Blancolirio had just concentrated on the accident itself instead of initiating a firestorm of posts on his channel regarding Dan's activities I guess the horses are out of the barn and it is sad that overall it detracts from the overall intent for improved safety in aviation.

In what region are you doing these flights, and can I log the time as anything [SIC?] if i don't have a multi-engine rating? (Really I should spend the money on actual endorsments and ratings, but I can justify the DC-3 as good breadth of experience.)

Love it! DC-3s are my favorite type of aircraft ever. And N18121 of Aerometal International LLC in particular is my single favorite. I know her more as N136PB of Naples Airlines & Provincetown-Boston Airline (PBA) when I worked with them as MIA Station Manager in the early 70's. Flown as pax and as flight attendant a couple of times. And have actually helped load N143D at BNA as a cargo charter a few years later. Somewhere I have a few pics of her on the BNA cargo ramp. Would climb aboard any DC-3 no matter what it looks like! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4LWf4qlhZmYgq8

Turboprop conversion requested.

Nope, 1820 Pratts are fine.

@@HongyaMa if they are fine then why were the turboprop kits installed? This dramatically improved speed, range, payload all things.

[@HongyaMa]

@@JSFGuy turbo props eat more $ and are fine for what they do but the original power plants are a piece of history, on the S-58 the PT-6 twin pacs were more deadly then the single 1820 radial. But I digress
