Flying Bulls Douglas DC-6 | Takeoff from Hamburg Airport

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Enjoy the close-up view of this great piece of aviation history - the Red Bull Douglas DC-6 ( Reg. OE-LDM ) departing from Hamburg on August 23, 2015.

[@lewiskemp5893]

Never gets old listening to this

[@christianfox9144]

I was part of the team that restored and rebuilt this back in 2002/3. A fantastic aircraft

[@heatherstub]

What an honor! Thanks for sharing.

[@4vndd]

You are great...!! thanks for doing what you did! Wow!

[@fundamentos3439]

What a magnificent plane the DC - 6 is. Thank you for sharing.

[@jimdoortodoor275]

WONDERFUL AIRCRAFT, I CAN REMEMBER AS A YOUNG KID RIDING MY BIKE WITH MY OLDER BROTHER TO ESSENDON AIRPORT IN MELBOURNE WATCHING THE ANSETT ANA DC6's STARTING UP & TAKING OFF WITH THE CONVAIRS & VISCOUNTS IN THE EARLY 1960's! THANKS FOR THE GREAT FOOTAGE.

[@walterfink9782]

That is a beautiful aircraft. Love those classics.

[@TheHDAviation]

What a stunning aircraft. The DC-6 in itself is beautiful and this livery makes it look even better. Great footage as always!

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Thank you very much!

[@HD1080ide]

Wie der Lack in der Sonne glänzt... einfach genial!

[@OHAREAVIATION]

4 Engines 4 the LIKE!!!

[@efbeVideo]

Wow - einfach nur Klasse! Das sind noch "echte Flugzeuge". Die Maschine ist ja in einem fantastischen Pflegezustand. Schon interessant, wie langsam sie beim Start in Gang kommt im Vergleich zu den heutigen Jets. Danke fürs Zeigen.

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

+efbeVideo Ich danke Dir für Deinen Kommentar! Ja, diese alten Flugzeuge sind einfach klasse - so etwas würde ich gerne öfters mal sehen. Ein Video der Super Constellation von dieser Position wird es in den nächsten Tagen auch noch geben.

[@arnoldberk7686]

Now this is an aviation restoration to be proud of.

[@AngelRail-mi4cq]

Que máquina tan hermosa!! Para un nostálgico como Yo (Sin despreciar a los aviones actuales), ver estos vídeos, es como abrir una ventana y recuperar parte de los sueños que tuve en mi Juventud.. Gracias.

[@MovieSpottingBerlin]

Einfach atemberaubend schön dieser Sound! Wundervolle Aufnahme bei bestem Wetter sehr gut!

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ich danke Dir!

[@4vndd]

Superb aircraft.. superb prop sounds... thanks for sharing!!!

[@flybyplane]

Wunderbare Aufnahmen dieser polierten Schönheit. Der Sound war auch klasse, beim Aufwärmen. Und dann dieser schwerfällige Start, ein super Video von Dir. :-)

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ich danke Dir! Solche tollen Flugzeuge müsste es häufiger mal in Hamburg geben - es macht einfach Spaß, so etwas zu filmen.

[@1946Karlchen]

Was für eine wunderschöne Maschine - und natürlich wieder super aufgenommen. Liebe Grüße, Gerald

[@mariuskuhrau761]

Yep, it is clear that a small fortune was spend to restore this old bird. What a beautiful job these guys did and to see her gleaming underbelly in the sun, absolutely breathtaking. 👍👍👍

[@Ricco3Dworld]

*_Sensationell, Super eingefangen von Dir, .. Carsten!!!_* *_Die Red Bull Douglas DC-6, hat mich schon schwer beeindruckt. Der Sound ist auch herrlich :))_* *_Herzliche Grüße :) Richard_*

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ich danke Dir, Richard! Das Flughafenfest war wirklich eine super Veranstaltung. Die Chance, so viele schöne alte Flugzeuge auf einmal zu sehen, kommt sicherlich nicht so schnell wieder. Und diese DC-6 war natürlich eines der Highlights. Was für ein tolles Flugzeug - dagegen ist doch alles, was heutzutage so gebaut wird, irgendwie langweilig. In den nächsten Tagen wird auch noch ein Video der Super Constellation von dieser Position kommen. Herzliche Grüße, Carsten

[@criptococo3172]

Holy cow !!. truly beautiful. congrats !!

[@walkbyfeet]

Klasse Video vom lineup 05! Das ist einfach die beste Position!

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ich danke Dir! Was war das doch für ein Glück, dass ausgerechnet an dem Wochenende Ostwind war und die deshalb alle auf die 05 rollten. Bei 23 Takeoff hätte man ja nicht annähernd so tolle Aufnahmen machen können.

[@EnJo409]

Bei den Airport Days gab es ja wohl vieles zu sehen! Schönes Video! Daumen hoch!

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Vielen Dank! Ja, das war einfach klasse, was man da alles für Flugzeuge sehen konnte. Diese alten Propellerflieger sind einfach herrlich. Schade, dass es eine solche Veranstaltung in Hamburg nicht öfters mal gibt.

[@inselvideo]

Fantastische 4K Aufnahmen von dieser fliegenden Legende:-)Diese Maschine hat es Dir wohl angetan,ist sogar jetzt dein neues Profilbild:-)Auch dein neues Kanalbild ist klasse!Bei der ILA 2012 hat die DC 6 mal einen unglaublich beeindruckenden Tiefflug hingelegt,einfach Wahnsinn war das.Daumen hoch für diese super Aufnahmen von Dir!Gruss inselvideo!

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ich danke Dir vielmals! Was ist das doch für ein tolles Flugzeug. Einfach klasse, das mal aus der Nähe zu erleben - das müsste man viel öfters mal haben. Macht viel mehr Spaß als A320er zu filmen. War dann auch eine gute Gelegenheit, mal meine Fotos auszutauschen - ich hatte da schon länger nach etwas geeignetem gesucht. Gruß aus Hamburg!

[@richardharris2494]

Beautiful machine!

[@steveturpin4242]

A beauty!...thanks

[@TravellerYT]

Absolutely stunning catch! Excellent footage we really enjoyed this one! We recently acquired a 4K 55 inch and all I can say is this footage looks spectacular in 4K at 55! Liked very very much!! Lovely upload liked :-D

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Thank you very much for your comment! Lucky you that you have the opportunity to watch this on such a large monitor in 4K resolution ... must indeed be amazing. Greetings from Hamburg!

[@TravellerYT]

It really looks good! Thanks again for this upload! Greetings back from Copenhagen! :-D

[@peterwilms1395]

Prachtig en ontroerend zo'n oud gerestaureerd vliegtuig weer in volle glorie te zien vliegen!

[@CentralPASpotter]

Nice! What an amazing plane! Liked!

[@Filmaffen]

Hey Carsten ... auch hier bekomme ich *Gänsehaut* beim ansehen ; )) ... da kann man nur das *dicke Däumchen 23* heben und grüssen mit einem lächeln ; )) wie die Sonne " Eddy "

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Vielen Dank auch für diesen Kommentar, Eddy! Da hatte ich auch Gänsehaut beim Filmen. Es geht doch nichts über diesen guten alten Propeller-Sound. Herzliche Grüße, Carsten

[@Agwings1960]

Has anyone ever noticed that the DC6 only has engine exhaust stacks on the outboard side of the engine nacelle's, why? because Douglas didn't want passengers setting there staring at the flames coming out of the engines during night flights. Just a little DC6 trivia.

[@bradleypeterson2208]

Its a shame, because the flames looks super cool at night.

[@_lcfiorini]

Maybe they decided this design in order to avoid fire risk concerns among the passengers

[@wms1650]

@@_lcfiorini Probably right Leonard another benefit is less exhaust sound.

[@bristolcardifairport]

Nicely done, she is a great looking bird, liked.

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

+bristolcardifairport Thank you very much!

[@99carnot]

Great looking and sounding classic! Liked!!

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Thanks a lot for watching and your comment!

[@99carnot]

Really nice that you shared that awesome DC-6!

[@_lcfiorini]

@@99carnot Golden age of propeller-driven aircraft, which did not grow larger because of the 707 jet arrival. Anyway it's really interesting to notice the technical prop evolution from a single cylinder row towards larger engines such as the Wasp Major; from conventional engines fueling towards supercharged engines able to fly higher and so on.

[@HelenaMikas]

What a marvellous catch Carsten and as ever beautifully filmed :) Big like Greetings , Helena

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

+HelenaMikas Thank you very much, Helena. It's always nice to see one of these classic beauties! Greetings, Carsten

[@DanielSander]

That's some classic, great video 😃

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Thank you very much!

[@jcBurton2094]

What a beauty

[@muffs55mercury61]

This DC 6 is probably better maintained than airline fleets. Compared to other flying DC6s, this one sounds like a real hot rod (different type of exhausts maybe?)

[@stefanjovanovic4685]

The DC-6 that Red Bull has, belonged a time ago to Jugaslavian president Tito. So that this plane never saw a comercial use, and it has a great history.

[@easonlau6138]

When I was young, Me and my family saw the Douglas DC-6 from Europe taking off from Singapore Changi Airport, viewed from the food centre which is beside the airfield. The DC-6 is a rare airplane which is built in 1946.

[@viennaspotting4134]

Einmal hab ich die Kiste erleben dürfen! Schönes Video, gefällt mir :)

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ich danke Dir! War einfach toll, die DC-6 mal in Hamburg zu erleben - ein wunderschönes Flugzeug.

[@DrDuu]

Klasse Aufnahmen, richtig schön nah, bis ins Detail!! Super gut. Wie weit ist die Entfernung real? Mit Leiter am Zaun? Gruss DrDuu

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Ich danke Dir! Ja, an der Stelle kann man leider nur mit Leiter Aufnahmen machen. Ich stand auf einer 5-Stufen-Leiter und kann damit dann gerade so über den Zaun filmen. Die Entfernung habe ich gerade mal bei Google Earth ausgemessen. Direkt an der Kurve vor dem Zaun beträgt der Abstand vom Zaun bis zur Mitte des Taxiwegs etwa 90 Meter. Ich habe da ja auch schon mal einen A380 und eine 747 gefilmt - mit deren großen Spannweiten ist das dann schon sehr beeindruckend. Gruß aus Hamburg

[@TheYottaTube]

Wow, look at it Shine! Redbull gives you Wings....for a moment.

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Thanks for watching!

[@graemewilliams1308]

Props cycled, mags checked, controls full & free, flaps set. . Engine fire, failure & overspeed drills reviewed, airways clearance noted, heading set. Co pilot, call the speed in 10 knot increments please, takeoff clearance received, ENGINEER checklist? ok ENGINEER set takeoff BMEP thankyou.

[@santinieve1]

Airline or private?

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

It is owned by a private aviation team from Austria.

[@rentner66]

The owner is the boss from RedBull and she`s private, and some weeks ago, i have had the chance (lucky) to fly one hour around the alps with this plane.

[@heatherstub]

Did you also get to fly in the DC6B that they own? Daniel Frohriep-Ichihara (same as his channel) also got to, and it's featured in his channel. It was uploaded a couple weeks ago. Check it out.

[@heatherstub]

Love the sound of that plane! Lots of power. It sounds like it may have more power than the DC6B, but perhaps that's because I heard it from the outside. There's another channel here that flew the DC6B. His name is Daniel Frohriep-Ichihara, and he's building quite a nice collection of amazing videos featuring classic aviation from East and West. Check him out. I used to fly the DC7B back in 1969 and 1970 when we flew from Miami to the Bahamas to see my father's parents from England. They lived there for several years before flying back to the UK in 1973. We visited them there in 1975 and 1976. Those were unforgetable trips. My family lived in France for two years, because my father took a job in Paris to work at the CIP at the Place de Concorde de la Fayette. I didn't want to come back here, but I had no choice. If I had had a choice, I'd probably still be there today. I loved it that much.

[@P7777-u7r]

Looks like a big DC-3

[@AircraftSpottingHamburg]

Schön eingefangen! Ganz komisch stand die da am Lineup

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Vielen Dank! War merkwürdig, dass der da auf dem Taxiweg so scharf nach rechts lenkte - ich dachte schon, der wollte wieder umdrehen :-D

[@njital13]

Anyone know the top speed or cruising speed of this aircraft ?

[@ShipsYouShouldKnow]

Cruising and top speed of the DC-6 are about 500 km/h.

[@keithfritz6280]

Where's the Candy Bomber?

[@TheSirjohn2012]

You have got to keep these rare and old birds flying and we know that the folks at BOEING can do it.

[@heatherstub]

Actually, Boeing doesn't own any of these planes. There are old Douglas Aircraft airplanes, and they're owned by the company that makes Red Bull. And they do. Check out Daniel Frohriep-Ichihara's channel. There, you'll see one video he uploaded a couple weeks ago where he had the privellege to fly aboard the DC6B for an hour plus. It is a fantastic video! He's also got tons of videos of classic "aviation heaven" as he calls it. I certainly agree. Enjoy!

[@tremayne3]

Too bad the camera wasn't at the opposite end of the runway...
