This is GREAT! I flew these planes when I was a young laddybuck. But this is like a complete flight in one of the best planes THANKS!!!

Wonderful, doesn't look easy to trim that beauty ! May these birds fly as long as possible

Wonderful! First plane I remember flying in was an Electra. Western Airlines from Sioux Falls to Denver, 1965.

Marvelous! At 3:33 he has his hands near the fire extinguishers-is that part of the taxi procedure?

Thank you!!!

Magnificent !

[@4No_mads]

Sorry for the late reply ;) He's covering the fire extinguishers during upshifting the engines.

Fantastic opportunity aboard such a magnificent aeroplane! When did you make this video? I can only fantasize in Microsoft Flight Simulator (see Video Response).

Prop-jet airliners ARE the very BEST passenger planes... hands-down!

[@1956MercM260]

OK, dumb question....when they are getting the engines started, it sounds like one of them is kept at a higher RPM for awhile, and then the Captain brings it down once the other 3 are going (@ 3:10)...why is that? Thanks.

[@cmfrancis1]

They are using bleed air from the running engine to start the other three.
