1:10:51 Even though I am in my 50’s, the way he told that story brought me back to my youth, listening to my grandfather (who was from Belfast) tell me stories of WWII. :-)

I first flew a DC-3 at age 3.... my father was the Captain of the flight!! Unfortunately, it wasn''t until 12 years later that I logged my first legal dual instruction.... in 1964. Great time to learn how to fly!!!

I’m just back to listen to 1:06:36 - 1:09:00 due to being among the most mesmerizing and relaxing sounds that literally melts my brain. I was able to find some simulated DC-3 propeller ASMR sounds but it’s never the same nor captured as well as this video.

[@AirClipscom]

I feel you, that sound is smooth like butter. I love the DC-3 for that, maybe I should start an ASMR Channel haha

[@trapy3550]

DUDE!! I feel like a kitty getting head scratches and just melting away. Dont do drugs, just listen to this :D

Wow, what a beautiful bird! The stories and memories she holds. Very well taken care of. Thank you for sharing and taking us back in time of yesteryear.

[@AirClipscom]

No problem it was a pleasure to me I love to show you old treasures from gone times :)

[@bryanbadger6841]

Love it. As a kiwi I first flew in a Dak back in 1955 at the age of 9 to Nelson. I remember having a window seat over the wing. But what intrigued me was watching one of the rivets spinning in its hole. Years later, I of course realised that that was not normal. Enjoying your channel. Keep em coming. Take care.

[@AirClipscom]

Oh wow that are some awesome experiences thank you for sharing

1985 flog ich von Kugluktuk (Coopermine) NWT Canada nach Yellowknife Canada mit diesem wundervollen Flugzeug, bin begeistert davon, toller Film.

[@morganmcardle2910]

I love when they there is normally no one blocking the cockpit

[@southerncross86]

I flew in one, piloted by my uncle, great airplane

[@bertoverweel6588]

Great sound , fantastic video , this aircraft hase no moving cowl flaps on the engines .

[@blairhinton7535]

Magnificent

[@rancosteel]

When was the plane upgraded and restored and for how much?

[@YourFreeBeats]

I pray that the first officer has been able to procure a full-time position in the aviation industry and that he and his family are doing well.

[@shaolin8116]

Is a nice crew

[@AirClipscom]

The best!

[@kitbaker8521]

I wonder if that airplane is a C-53? US Air Force C-47s had a cargo door and the later contracted DC-3 versions were contracted as C-53. It’s really only a curiosity because the airplanes were identical and the only way to tell is the builder’s plaque in the cockpit.

[@kaereosimulation4011]

I love this plane I have some simulation videos of DC3 on my youtube channel

[@southerncross86]

Beautiful Betsy, indeed
