Congratulations to the brave pilots. The Douglas DC-3 is a fantastic aircraft, it has broken all the barriers of use that a successful project deserves.

Tambien a los técnicos mecánicos, verdaderos orfebres con sus esfuerzos para mantener volando los aviones .

I flew many years the DC-3 cargo and aerial applications, thousands of hours of fun, many emergencies, engine failures,control failures,inflight fire,much more but the awesome Douglas always brought me home safely, no accidents.

Thanks so much for this video of one of the most fantastic machines ever built. Their continued usage proves that their engineering was so far ahead of their build date that they still amaze the world in the 2020s. We can never give the just amount of praise to Columbia’s pilots, crews, & maintenance staff. Great job to all of you wonderful people. May God continue to bless you. Thanks again.

Thanks for the re-post. The take-off and slow altitude gain while picking up air velocity is remarkable. Plus the engines going into harmonics soon show that the mechanics know their trade very well. These fabulous birds are a pleasure to experience and just watch.

"The COM panels have been updated" - glad for all the modernization that is practical for this wonderful bird. At the AA Museum, Irving, TX, there is the original model but sadly one cannot sit in the seat for obvious reasons (childhood memories from the late 50s when we routinely be given the chance at a small airfield). For the rest of us there is FlightSim. Thanks for the video.

The one at the AA Musem does allow you to enter it, sit down in the cabin, though. Anyone in the DFW area really should go at visit that museum.

[@hipolitocastromonsalve380]

Estos DC3, lo mejor que ha habido en mucho tiempo de la aviación mundial, se pueden transformar a BASLER BT 67 con motores turboelice de 5 palas y se someten a una restauracion total de carroceria, alargandola para cambiar el centro de gravedad y nivelar los pesos. Igualmente, se le hace una instalacion electrica y electrónica de hoy, cambiando la aviónica y sus controles o manometros, para tener tecnología de punta en estos aparatos que por su diseño siguen operando hasta finales de este siglo XXI. En EE UU hay una compañía que efectúa esta transformacion y ello vuelven a volar con toda la seguridad requerida hoy.
