"Bye Bye Yellowknife! PART TWO" Plane Savers E94

[@theexploringphotographer]

11:30 finally I see a South African C47TP, Denel and the South African airforce did the conversions in the 90s at a few bases. I was stationed at Airforce base Ysterplaat at Cape Town where they did it. I was part of the ground crew (bulk fuel) so was around them a lot. Ours were painted light blue lower and a dark camo patch above at the roof area. Good old days.

[@stacyboots1818]

Good to know that sea can is on site and safe.Now I can worry about the wing attachment angles.Have a good trip Mikey.And thank you.

[@christopherescott6787]

NOW, it's for real. All the planning, talking donating, accumulating, and illustrating has come down to the real deal. We are so stoked for you and everyone involved. Safe travels...On the wings of Eagles.........................

[@1SeanBond]

Great job to all be safe in your travels!👍well to you luv n peace, lol you all enjoy the chance to do this and to all the friends, people whom are helping great to see!👍✌🤙!!#94 I was here to see! thanks Mikey and crew!🙂

[@davidjones8680]

A thoroughly nice episode you have weaved together here Mikey. You sketch of the Harvard for the CHAA is really neat, I'm sure that will raise a pretty penny for their funds. Great to see the footage from Benoit, he is a real star for continuing to do all he does, looking forward to seeing more of him over the coming weeks. Top marks to Stella for all her work with organising the volunteer team, a vital job she will have doubtless have all safely in hand. I really enjoyed the he trip into the Metal Shop, Dan's work on the elevator looks superb, he's obviously a real talented perfectionist. The Sun n Fun segment was really interesting, all those ledgendry planes all in one place. Looking forward to seeing those DDay planes in the skies over England in June. Also loved the South African Turbine DC3 too. Good luck to the DDay Squadron on there long journey. And last but never ever least, a nice fun conversation with Chuck before you depart... You are really blessed having him to work alongside every day. I wish you all safe travels, and look forward to seeing you in Montreal tomorrow. Regards, David Jones, Coventry, UK.

[@markhayes100]

Hey, Chuck, hope we see you again soon! Take care of Yellowknife, someone’s got to mind the store while everyone’s away! Lol! Really looking forward to this next phase, let’s hope that wing off inspection goes well. Safe travels Mikey.

[@paulyoung181]

Chuck is a hoot! How could you not have a smile on your face working with him!

[@scottnhalifax]

Chuck Adams, the legend. Good to see you

[@deanbarber8715]

"Totally dysfunctionally disorganized". That was so funny!! Safe travels.

[@1SeanBond]

Lol great comment 👍

[@kennethscofield4565]

Haha leave it to Chuck to walk in and give Mikey a hard time. All in fun!

[@digsbyjames7726]

Well, that was fun! Looking forward to this next phase of the project. All the very best! Go PLANE SAVERS GO!!!!!! Loved the Sun N Fun special it's a great airshow and the people there organizing it are amazing too!

[@angelreading5098]

This was an emotional video as you are on your way now to Montreal to get down to the business of restoration on the Plane Savers DC-3,a landmark episode for not only the series but for yourself Mikey who must feel very proud of what you have set up only a short while ago,I have a strong feeling that we are in for some surprises in the coming weeks and indeed some practical challenges too. The outer wings on the DC-3 attach in quite a unique way in that there are many bolts holding them in place,one reason the DC-3 has lasted so long is the wing construction with no lifed spars as fitted to modern aircraft,we will soon witness this when those wings are detached ready for inspection. Rod will miss you I am sure,he really is quite a character,aviation is full of characters from ground crew to pilots and Buffalo has their fair share of them too ! see you in Montreal Mikey with plenty of interesting new content to watch.

[@1SeanBond]

Awesome comment 👍

[@Hildrix]

Many bolt's alright.....328 for each wing.

[@angelreading5098]

Spreading the load on those outboard wing sections.

[@mikefinley733]

Good to see Chuck dropping by to see you off Mikey . The flight of C-47's stopped by Fort Benning Georgia,, the home of the airborne Rangers jump school to let some folks jump out of C-47's like the old days on the way to Sun and Fun . I will see if I can find Wtvm channel 9 news story and send it to you . You have a safe flight Mikey !!

[@rogergusty1802]

Plane Savers has always been exciting ..... but now it is getting VERY exciting. Hope that all goes well and according to plan.

[@liztankard4881]

So nice to hear you have so many volunteers 👍have a great journey ✈️ brilliant to see Chucky he’s funny 😂😂

[@UKPete]

Haha Chuck's checking when you are off so he can give the green light for a rave in the hanger he has organised!

[@johnbolin7098]

Really enjoying the anticipation of each day of Plane Savers !!!!

[@hj45lp]

Great, safe travels to all of you, and a good start in Quebec!

[@mischef18]

Finally caught up on all your videos of PLANE SAVERS and everyone a true gem bro.

[@davidraybon1615]

Can't wait to see those wings come off!

[@geraldschaerig1768]

Have a pleasant safe flight all three of you

[@jamesglenn2006]

Nothing short of Master Artistry Mikey. Hope your travels go smoothly and safely.

[@LeaMacDonald]

Outstanding episode . . . and Mikey, I'm that little voice behind you incessantly asking: "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? . . . " :)

[@davidharris2519]

you are quite the artist and what happens when all things are done please keep plane savers going

[@drenk7]

Mikey you are a fantastic cartoonist.. liked the Harvard.

[@01spm]

The wing flanges will be fine, positive thinking. actually leaving the wings off is not a bad thing since it makes easier to get around the aircraft and less chances to damage anyting. Good news is the medical Quacks have cleared me to drive the 7 hours to St Hubert, i will be there may 10th for a few days.

[@paulrourke4785]

Great to see Chuck and the D Day segment, Now we will see you in Montreal and good luck.

[@simonmills9427]

Great vid cant wait to see DTD being brought back to life and a good outro would be a DC3 flying into a sunset cool

[@joelquinn3953]

[@davidjones8680]

[@dodeblakley5621]

I was over the moon to hear that D Day squadron will stop over at Prestwick airport! Unfortunately I will probably miss them as I will be heading to the Isle of Mann for the TT races on the 31st of May. Hopefully If I'm unable to see them arrive I can get someone to go down and film them.

[@alandray5282]

Booked our tickets for Duxford. Glad to be watching all this we be a good day at Duxford on the 5th. ..June. .Alan

[@kennethscofield4565]

Well Mikey, The time is nigh, its nut cuttin time. This trip to Quebec is going to be EPIC ! p.s give our regards to Benoit.

[@mileshigh1321]

Dang Mikey, I wish we had a few more months to get you to D-Day in Normandy Fly-over! That being said, Oshkosh will be great! Nice to see progress from Benoit too!

[@tonylarkin7564]

Another Great show Mate can't wait to see more PLANE SAVERS

[@perpearson524]

Hey another great episode with the fun n sun update and Chuckie!

[@jkentsan]

Safe travels to All! My thoughts are with you - until next time.

[@davidbaker352]

Great episode Mikey.. when Chuck is on an episode... it’s a great episode! End of! Have a good trip with Stella and Stuka.. Can’t wait for the “real” restoration/repair stuff to start.. bring it on! I am guessing you won’t be short of stuff to report on every day!

[@mustangbob51]

i'll bet that you are having heart palpitations with excitement. awesome stuff brother

[@sharoncassell9358]

My claim to fame was remove and replace one wing on a C 141 with 3 other hands that never touched a wing. Guys from tireshop. It went on eventually. Took 5 hours using gas powered crane. You had to fond the fulcrum to nalance the wing upon removal. The wing tip which is narrower than the stock which attachrs to the fuselage but it contains uranium to act as a counterweiht. So the center of gravity is almost in the middle but not quite. It has to line up with the wing bolys evenly and parts must be hand nimbered to go back in the right places because they are varying lengths from 3 inches to 6 inches long. So it is a delicate operation more than you would think. Be careful.

[@crazybrit-nasafan]

Hi Mikey. Another great episode. This two parter has been great. Loving the drawing of the Harvard. It'also called the Harvard by the British. Texan by the USAF, SNJ by the US Navy. And iirc the Tomcat by the french (who used it as a ground attack aircraft. All the best and stay safe. Greg.

[@sharoncassell9358]

Why dont you make copies of hand dren plane and sell them? They look great. I used to draw aircraft as a kid.

[@mopartshemi]

We need a chuck show UNCUT!!! LOL that fkn guy cracks me up

[@wookie20f]

Yes! Chucky!

[@kanumark]

Atta boy, Mikey and crew! Get ‘er done bud, make us proud!

[@TheMach05]

Hi Mikey, always great to see Chuck, any chance we could get a film about him? Maybe updates on Yellow Knife whilst you're in Montreal?

[@wookie20f]

Yes!!! Please!!

[@frankjames7247]

If I am not mistaken the South African's turbo'd the DC3 first. Good to see Chuck again.

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Happy Landings in Montreal, Mikey

[@MurraydeLues]

Glad you warned us. Oh by the way the first thing we will do is whip the wings off!! Safe travels to all.

[@mattwood4146]

God speed my friends. Be safe, healthy and happy. Cheers from Mickey in Florida

[@rodmackenzie1450]

Safe travels...

[@0nem1leh1gh]

Zoche aero made a two stroke radial Diesel, but as far, as i know, it's only meant to power small drones up to 300hp. If it would be availlable for historic planes, then you can probably save the original look, too.

[@chrisdilley266]

Safe travels Mikey

[@briansteffmagnussen9078]

The F-16 passing is probably the best and most sturdy jet figter ever, It is old now, what was it gen 3 or 4, In Denmark they are on the way out, the metal begin to be weak and crack.

[@dennisporter753]

Cool video.. really enjoyed the Sun and Fun video as well great job !.. I sure hope you do more videos on Plane Savers.. oh yea..Hi Chuck!

[@Bowser145667]

Hey Mikey!! Did you know that the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) is also located right next to the St Hubert airport? Maybe you could do a tour?

[@davidjones8680]

What's the chance of shooting a DC-3 model off in to space?

[@mileshigh1321]

@@davidjones8680 Elon Musk sent his convertible roadster up into space circling the Sun lol Why not send up a DC-3 too hey!

[@MaxwellPSmart]

Mention out to Conair' s 50th anniversary this weekend. I hoping to get a bit of video relayed to get posted.

[@D0csavage1]

Hopefully I can be at Prestwick Airport for the D-Day Squadron, en-route to France 👍

[@avalonbear61]

Have a safe trip.

[@pourquoiunidentifiant]

Will the D Day Squadron stop en route at C YYT (Ex RCAF Torbay) St Johns? If so when. We often see trans Atlantic flights use this most easterly point in N. America.

[@alasdairblack393]

Ok, answering my own question they are flying through Goose Bay in Labrador before Greenland - Iceland - Scotland

[@Benoit6ft6]

I am planning to meet them at Goose Bay, probably around May23rd or 24th.
