[@redmeat2ndamendment695]

The DC 3 remains the workhorse of many cargo operations in a country as difficult to fly in, as is Colombia. Magnificent bird. Love the grass to 15 ft wide “runway” to dirt and just barely over the trees... these guys have balls.

[@paulelephant9521]

I'm sure they get nothing like the money of pilots flying big jets, but what a job! You must feel like you are king of the world, cruising over such beautiful terrain (and low enough to actually see it), demonstrating your skill and just generally being super cool. Great video, thanks.

[@supersabrejet]

I FLEW WITH THIS GUY his name JOAQUIN SANCLEMENTE ''JUACO'' ''MURDOCK''Great pilot, he knew this planes like the palm of his hand.

[@modestoponce9270]

Película. Acion

[@muhammedshahanmt265]

Who is the captain😍👍

[@PatrickBateman191]

No doubt. But I’m not getting on !

[@robertfairburn9979]

These are real pilots unlike not the current lot who use autopilot for 95% of the flight

[@syedfamily1312]

Way ja way jaa... wada aya thaaz uraan ala

[@juanmanuelpalaciostibocha1758]

Joaquin SanClemente he still being neighbor of my parents in Villavicencio, him and another dc-3 pilots are real heroes flying to the deepest jungle in the world.

[@RoninTXBR549]

The DC-3 ... still proving that new is not always better. Great plane, great video!

[@WELLBRAN]

and a very big reminder of the ground crews and mechanics that keep these planes in the air and running smoothly

[@NerOyka]

Check-list before takeoff: -earplugs are installed - check Check-list completed. 😂

[@japago94]

😂😂😂😂

[@555skipper]

Just like back in Russia I guess, have another drink .

Yes👍😍😅😅😅😅

[@stevemccarty6384]

My general takeoff check list was "CIGAR" Controlls - Injin instruments - gas on- altimeter set - runups complete. It always worked for me....for simple airplanes.

[@TheOtherDerek]

No checklist, just straight doing it... I love it!

[@ernestbarcella175]

Wahh ,, DC3 The legend ,,,using every ounce of power and runway ,,to get in the air ,, ,, Respect to pilots !!1

[@TheHelado36]

This plane is so beautiful, looks like a Land Rover with wings, funtion over design

[@EggiTheShadow]

You obviously mean Land cruiser right?

[@TheHelado36]

EggiTheShadow no, Land Rover, is a comparison because of the crude and simple engineering of both iconic vehicles !

[@stropo100]

Just to clarify things: The true "design" as a whole project , includes also the function as base for the perfect result, and the DC3 fits perfect in this category, reflecting both the aesthetics and techniques of is era

[@EggiTheShadow]

TheHelado36 Ah so that's what you mean. Sure they are both crude and simple, but function over design? Land rovers are the most unreliable car you can buy, whereas the dc3 is incredibly reliable which is why they are still operational and have still survived to this day

[@TheHelado36]

EggiTheShadow Well I really mean those vehicles that are overwhelmingly used in Africa (that year and design of Land Rover) and the Toyota Land Cruiser is also a very good vehicle! Analogies and comparisons exist not to be picky with them just to enjoy the language device !

me and mary jane just loves watching these videos..

[@mikedee8876]

I flew in an Ozark Airways DC-3 in 1967....scared the hell out of me...all the noise and rattling....at the time I thought it was a pile of junk, but time has proved the DC-3 a great aircraft.

[@tongoio]

Thank you for this. Ive loved the sound of those planes since a kid. Great to see them still working

[@TexExpatriate1]

A terrific airplane! The first one I was ever in about 1944 or 1945. Amazing they are still so terrific.

[@danielandres5378]

este avion es magnifico ojala nunca dejen de volar el dc 3 o willis del aire le dicen muchos con cariño

[@jorgezuniga3184]

I am very proud for being part of that history flying thouse beautiful airplanes 30 yrs ago, congratulation guys.

[@Ivansbsb]

Belo vídeo, esses grandes pilotos resgatam o sonho de voar na linda região amazônica. São homens e mulheres que se confiam em suas habilidades voando nos lendários DC3, Parabéns, senhores comandantes, muitas felicidades e ótimos vôos.

Great video. I really love it. I sat in Dakota Norways DC 3 cockpit when landing at Geiteryggen airport Norway. Great experience. I enjoy many of your films here at YT.

[@petergreen4213]

Amazing ! I have flown on DC3 in Nepal in the 60's

[@polobracher]

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful planes ever!

[@vayalobo]

¡Qué belleza de video, eso si que es rugir de motores! Inmortal DC-3. ¡Y vaya peinada de copas de árboles! Muchas gracias por subir el video.

Classic..love the shot of the earplugs in pilots ears as he looks out of the window

[@erniegannsmate]

Brave yet without a hint of bravado. Doing their stuff no fuss no flannel.

[@onetimer13541]

Holy slow climb Batman. I'm sure he was puckered waiting for that airspeed to kick in

[@Weightlossjourney24]

Upgraded flight system's good which means is probably well maintained. The DC-3 is a great plane for grass and dirt fields

[@suptccc2614]

Casi 50 segundos en la carrera de despegue..y pareciera que la va a faltar pista pero no. Admiración y respeto por estas aeronaves y por estos aviadores.

[@triplanelover]

whew!!! long roll, wouldn't be too convenient with an engine out over those trees....brass balls but they looked extremely competent.

[@amotupira2221]

This aircraft is for my worthy representative in design, performance, and great resistance, it is already 80 years of service throughout the world, I consider it the king, and still serving us is the best example of EFFICIENCY.

[@Giovanniram22]

Excellent. Pilots and especially the mechanics who make miracles with inexistent equipment.

@Stanley Melvin I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Stanley Melvin It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@stanleymelvin1519]

@Gavin Joel Glad I could help :D

[@larrysmith1568]

85 yrs and counting. They don't make them like they used to.

[@siddasgupta679]

This video demonstrates that there is always a need for a large aircraft that is both economical and very low tech.

[@nicolesmith8976]

Glad the old dc3 took off and didn’t fall apart in TO roll

[@pbsbandara]

It's the Toyota Land Cruiser's flying counter part. Never gets too old to retire

[@Sedonalegendhelenfrye]

Very nice- I always admire the men who can fly these machines-- especially in such rough terrain. I am a historian for Jack Frye who was one of the men responsible for this resilient bird- Blessings!

[@mprophet100]

THX radreader01....Villavicencio Airport still has many DC-3s flying these days..

[@amotupira2221]

esta aeronave constituye para mi digna representante en diseño , rendimiento , y gran resistencia, ya son 80 años de servicio en todo el mundo , lo considero el rey ,y aun continua sirviendonos.es el mejor ejemplo de EFICIENCIA.

[@radentriyanto4859]

Rindu dengar suara mesin pesawat Dakota. Tahun 1960 an digunakan militer Indonesia untuk terjun payung...

[@harrothepilot]

That was stop breathing time, at least until she'd cleared the slightly rising terrain up till about 4:30 and the MP and RPM reduction. All I could think of ( of the R1830's ) was, ' keep going, keep going plleeessee..... What a great video. Thanks.

[@royalanania3306]

Really you have to have alot of heart for those bush take off. Wow!!!!!!¡!

[@davidalan1941]

Wow, what a fantastic video. Thanks, thumbs up, and I'll pray for the crews...

[@Elwood470]

I was in La Pedredra in 59/60. They didn't even have an airport then. Pedredra today looks like the airport did in Leticia in those days. Was looking at some videos of Leticia in more recent times, quite a difference. When I was there Leticia didn't have any paved streets.

[@zebby60]

Greatest Aircraft ever made.

Is her name Douglas?

Dakota? Cute name for a girl.

[@ugoincalifornia]

That beautiful sound engines full thortle, muy bien pilotos de Colombia

[@whiffy506]

Tan confiable como una mula de carga son estas naves, increibles. Pasan las decadas y siguen como si nada.

[@sobelou]

@DC3Dreams La descripcion lo dice, lleva una carga completa, seguramente va a peso maximo. Ahora, motores cansados? no me parece. Encendido normal, buena aceleracion (o sea, buena compresion), desde que suelta los frenos hasta que las ruedas dejan la tierra pasan menos de 30 seg., o sea que la pista es corta. Finalmente, despues que bajas los aceleradores a 35 pulgadas de presion ( o menos) para dejar descansar los motores, un ascenso a 105 nudos es bastante normal. Buen trabajo!

[@robbiebunge859]

These pilots are casually badass!

Na década de 50 voei Rio/ Belo Horizonte e Belo Horizonte Montes Claros num DC3. Inimaginável se comparar com os aviões de hoje. Eram de piso inclinado, sem pressurização, muito barulhentos e muito instáveis.

[@radreader01]

Beautiful video of a beautiful classic. It appears a bit overloaded, CG too far forward due to the weight of the huevos these have to have to fly out of that strip. Nice job though
