I love that you have the R-100 large as life on the homepage. That's a story that needs more telling.

[@hj45lp]

Congratulations to Benjamin for finishing your course! 👍😎

[@kennethscofield4565]

It does my heart good to see young guys like William and Benjamin learming a trade that will set them up for life.I see so many these days that have no idea or direction. Congratulations to these young ENA students, you represent the future of aviation in our country.

[@DuardoEh]

Yeah, and I love their heads! Lots of grey matter up there eh! Laches pas les gars.

[@westsideflyer7559]

Their skills they are learning are "portable". They can take them to where aviation works needs to be done and they could use the skills in many other places.

[@ericteunissen1142]

Mikey, I’ve watched every episode of Plane Savers and commend you and all your volunteers on the amazing transformation you have achieved with DTD. You have also shared with thousands of viewers, the history D- Day, and the important role played by C-47’s and their crews. But what has really impressed me is how you and Stella, working with the volunteers, and staff and students at ENA, have fostered a truly wonderful relationship between east and west, anglophone and francophone. I hope that all Canadians will try to follow your lead. Cheers!

[@AgentJayZ]

Hey! We do have a few dozen Orendas sitting in a field in various conditions. I will check to see if we have any 8s 9s or 11s. Luckily those models are not the most desirable for industrial use, so it may be less then millions... If we have any, I will get back to you. I have a 10 and 14 in my shop right now. Those were used in the Sabre, but are 95% identical to those used in the CF-100. Also, although we have no aircraft parts, we have quite a collection of engine parts.

[@thesawch63]

AgentJayZ great to see you on here Agent JayZ , get on board with Plane Savers , you will be amazed how good it will make you feel

[@bobbydouzepis8260]

AgentJayZ Thank you AgentJayZ for the info. Looking forward to your input on the CF100 and CL41A. Keep up those great videos. Much appreciated.

[@DavidG62]

Cf-100 should be the next plane saver. Only fighter built and designed in Canada. A Canadian icon.

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Well, technically the Arrow got built, but the Canuck was the only one to reach production. Would love to see this tho

[@robertfairburn9979]

Maybe you create a plane savers certificate that the students can receive to indicate that they have help put an old dc3 back into the air. It’s a no cost gesture that could help repay their large effort.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

I think this is a great idea

[@MichaelLloyd]

Damn strait Mikey, I don't care where you are from, preserve your history. Be proud of who you are and where you come from. The DC-3 is looking great. The volunteers are impressive. Thanks for sharing.

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

It really nice to see the youth involved. It's a dying art and it encouraging to see them.

[@willstadnyk5937]

[@libertyforever4270]

A special thanks to ENA and all the students for helping to bring DTD back to life.

[@angelreading5098]

My good friend the late Ormond Haydon-Baillie ( sadly lost his life when the canopy of Cavalier Mustang I-BILL flew off in a display in Germany) ferried a CF-100 Canuck in 1975 from Canada to Duxford in the UK,his original plan was to get it flying as G-BCYK on the airshow circuit however those plans fell aside due to the circumstances at the time,despite this the aircraft sits today in the museum at Duxford in his memory to this day,seeing that fuselage reminded me of this excellent aircraft that served the RCAF so well in the cold war period. The cutting of wing spars is not uncommon in ex military aircraft and yes would be very expensive to get her flying again. As the ENA students get to grips with the ongoing wiring we are reminded of the redundant wiring still installed inside the airframe,perhaphs much of it is so firmly embedded in the old DC-3 that it would be best to leave it in situ ? much of that old original Omega navigation stuff is no longer of any use anyway. You are so right about saving the past Mikey,too much has already been lost and scrapped,thankfully the new museum will be able to consolidate what is still around,one aircraft that comes to mind is that rare Beech 18 sitting outside ENA the former PT nose mounted testbed airframe what a wonderful opportunity to save the aircraft and make a very attractive exhibit too.

[@davidhedges2451]

A big thank you to Bobby for taking the time to answer my question yesterday about the surplus wiring in the cockpit. Bobby your a star for giving your time to support this great project.

[@davidangel-blair9358]

CF-100! Love this plane! It even has a crew! Orenda engines out West? Wow. Love PLANE SAVERS! Great that you mention about the history of aviation in Montreal and Quebec. Thanks Mikey.

[@christopherescott6787]

I cannot be overstated the importance of aviation in Quebec. OR Canada for that matter. Very well articulated Mikey!!!!!!!Our museum in Edmonton lost it's runways when it closed. SO, if a museum has an active air field next door, all the better. DTD looks and sounds SO good.

[@stephenwalters8061]

Congratulations to those quiet achievers working on the avionics. 🤗 🇦🇺

[@mcnudde]

That poor old CF-100 certainly needs some TLC. DC-3 is coming along nicely! Very impassioned plea regarding preserving aviation heritage.

[@markdenney3903]

I live in OKC that was built in building 1 here at Tinker air force base. 1/3 of all of the DC-3's were built there. Very proud of that. Enjoy it.

[@kevdotf]

Thanks Mikey.. These slow days are the most important. I have to say thanks to ENA for all their help to Mikey and DTD . I realy dont think it could have come off without them and again the young lad Ben , great to see the commencement in a young fella.. Keep going . Well done . Kev.F west of Ireland

[@tony66au]

So good to see the ENA students as they finalise their exams and pass out to the world (After June 6th of course) and I wish them all the best in their bright bright futures! Awesome crew!

[@s.a.stewart2743]

I have a feeling that when we see Stella painting the tail cone, that will mean this bird about done. I am not an aviation expert but it seems like that thing has been on and off a dozen times, thus when she paints it, the end should be in sight. GOOD LUCK!

[@pat36a]

I think that's a " Borrowed " piece, like the eng. Cowlings and dosen't get painted.

[@donwhyte9855]

Just wanted to shout out a big Thanks to Plane Savers for allowing me the chance to volunteer in Red Deer and St. Hubert. It was a great experience and a priceless opportunity to contribute to a bit of history. Working with the volunteer team was such a super learning environment to see how a crew operates and works through adversity, tackling the problems and bouncing ideas off one another. Keep on kickin' it down the road guys and get that water drained from the fuel! Alberta Don

[@sneaks01]

So much comes from this amazing school! Wish it was around when I was in Ben’s day! He’s so committed as a student! Next Plane Savers! Let’s concentrate on the current project first!

[@crazybrit-nasafan]

As always liked before watching. Should be able to like more than once. More great progress on DTD folks. It's the final small jobs and working the snags that will take up the time now. It is getting so close to that first flight. Damn I wish I could be there. Great news about the new museum. I wish those guys all the very best of luck and success with this. I know that something like a CF100 or CF104 would be totally out of the question for planesavers mk2 but how about that other iconic aircraft, the Norseman? You could see if your Dad would let you loose on one of his that are squirreled away in that hanger. All the best Greg

[@MoonlightAtlantis]

Great episode today! Super cool that Plane Savers will be a part of the air show as ground display. Can you say MORE SUBSCRIBERS!! 😃 Kudos to William and Benjamin for all their dedication too. Loved seeing the cockpit again, very interesting. 😊👍🏻

[@mopartshemi]

Mikey you never been that close to a CF-100 how about the one at CWH in hamilton when you saw the lanc and the mossie flying with 4 fighters

[@radarmike6713]

Way to go ENA!!! It only takes one person to start a passion or desire to make change. I can't wait to see that 100 restored! Canada's greatest and only fighter attack jet. She has a history. I fear Bobby D will never get to restoring his tutor. As I got a feeling he's gonna be at ENA helping restore that CF 100.

[@ericjanson2328]

What a great experience for the students - real hands on learning!

[@auzzieworker5183]

Looking at the CF-100 Bobby reminds me of Ronnie, we can fix it and make it fly. Cool aircraft. Have a bangle Bobby.

[@chrisemery3871]

Had to laugh at Bobby checking out the engines on the CF 100,would they even fit his Tutor? more progress and she will soon be in the air.

[@bobbydouzepis8260]

chris emery Funny comment. I think the engines are as bug as the Tutor. The CF100 is huge. Just this fuselage is 1 ½ times heavier than the assembled Tutor. This thing is built like a tank. A brute.

[@claudemajor200]

Always so cool to see the progress and team work from the young and ...well ...the seasoned! Power on guys! All the best

[@06sonata40]

Thank you Mikey for your motivation and inspiration! As one who works around aircraft wiring I can appreciate what the "kids" (both young and young at heart) are going thru in the cockpit! You're right, doesn't matter where your at, restore and save some aviation history! ( Got my eye on a little Ercoupe that needs some love'n.) Mikey, Stella, and all the wonderfully awesome volunteers there with DTD, THANK YOU for making this a great Plane Savers Day! 👍👋😊✈

And I wish you a GREAT EPISODE! Even if you did tease us with the Canuck ;-) Will you do another "numbers" episode before she flies?

[@abandonedchannel281]

CF-100? You guys are insane, but if you can get that DC-3 into a fairly good shape, I think you can make the CF-100 work

[@jackmehoff2312]

Rehan Zainul Abdeen The DC3 in "fairly good shape" are you insane, it's like new dumb dumb....🤓 And yes the CF100 will be spectacular!

[@tectorama]

Great video Mikey, not long to go now.... Just to add, we saw the Pan-Am DC-3 at Duxford yesterday (Friday), The first of the "Daks over Normandy" DC-3s to arrive. Looking forward to next Sunday, to see a lot more.......Alan...

[@dougmcgregor8690]

It's nice to see the students walk prouder now that have finished their exams. Good luck to all. QUESTION ... is Bobby slightly more excited about his bagels than DTD? ;-) Another really great episode!

[@bobbydouzepis8260]

Doug McGregor These are wood oven fired bagels. A Montreal specialty. I am a conflicted man of many loyalties when those things show up. You should see Ronnie gobble them up.

[@richard3141592638]

Tail cone's off again! Benjamin!!!

[@carlosaguirrefirth880]

Given DTD's history, would you consider having something québécois on her like a painted Fleur de Lis or the Québec flag ?

[@ianhardman2973]

Looking at the tail of the Dak, it's a shame it can't be painted in D-Day camouflage on the elevators and most of the rudder, leaving the rudder Buffalo green, of course. It would be a brilliant way to segment the colour... but get it flying ;)

[@paulgerald5808]

I am glad she is being restored . We have to preserve our Canadian Aviation History . Thank you ,Buffalo .

That would be very good news for any vintage aircraft they happen to choose. It would be in very good hands.

We can only hope ! Now if someone could find a whole lot of AVRO parts and the missing CF-105 would show up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bIZpyvoZmkZ7M Maybe the ENA could do a restore project with BEAVERWORKS ... ...

[@aserta]

Seriously, if anyone is worthy of restoring the AVRO it has to be ENA.

[@MAlves-og3pk]

I want to but I’m not in maintenance or génie d’aérospacial

[@joellaurin9007]

Ironic, I was just at RMC in St-Jean on a military leadership course. There is a static display of a CF-100. I have always admired that aircraft, true Canadian enginuity. Everyday, as I walked past the display, I wondered why no one has preserved one or kept some in flight condition... that being the RCAF of course. Would this one be the only air worthy CF-100? I could envision a future history video Mikey!

Another 14:32 of quality time watching Plane Savers. When this series ends I don't know how I'll fill the void. Hopefully it will still be up to rewatch. Sure are a lot of cables running fore and aft the belly of DCD. Looks like a piano tuner's nightmare!

Can you imagine a flying CF-100

[@ethanbrown1235]

hate to say it but the cf-100 would be a very expensive project to save. I'm into it tho!

[@ronsindric4241]

Expense be damned. This is a vital part of Canadian Aviation History, It is imperative that She be restored to flying status again ! Sure would be nice if the government and the resources of the RCAF were to come on board with this restoration. Imagine this Bird FLYING again at ADVENTURE the PARIS AIR SHOW, and Shows in the UK and Belgium !

[@youtubasoarus]

@@ronsindric4241 Doubt most of these will ever be flight worthy ever again. The costs would be insurmountable. They are mostly going to be display only I think. :/ Would be so rad to see them scream through the sky again though.

[@ronsindric4241]

Thank you for the thumbs-up. Standing back and looking at EPISODE ONE of PLANE SAVERS, I can see where many people KNEW that DTD would never fly again. With a great deal of support from the Canadian people, the government, dreams, blood, swear, tears, and lots of money miracles could happen. You just might see CF-100 in the air over Canada again one day !

[@zoidberg444]

The CF100 does have elements of the Blackburn Buccaneer in its looks if you ask me.

I’m positive you could order new wings on Amazon ...

Hey Mikey , how about a mail opening episode on one of your upcoming episodes. If it's all in Yellowknife maybe have Rod send it all down to you and you can open it up in St Hubert .

Awesome a CF-100 Canuck! also know as the Clunk... What a great aircraft.

[@dougward1779]

I remember when the Canadian Government scrapped a huge pile of complete CF100's at the Lethbridge Airport. Ran over them with Cats, cut them up, and melted them in a huge oven. All the engines were put into round containers and sent away. Sad days

" Excellent commentaire sur la sauvegarde de l'histoire de l'aviation Mikey " ... . Hope to visit Pierre and Robert at the Quebec Aerospace Museum some day when I eventually return home to Montreal. . Good prelim budget guess Bobby but with volunteers like the PLANE SAVERS and L'ENA, I'm confident that you can cut that budget in half. . Great to see William and Benjamin designing, manufacturing and installing parts that will fly on an aircraft (don't forget the PN's and the paperwork), nothing more rewarding than to say "I designed and built parts on that plane" to your kids someday when it flies over head ! ... . ps - Booby didn't make a mistake, he left a test for you youngsters to see if you were paying attention to detail ;-) . 'Save the day Nick', nice camera work but look out for those missing floor boards, I've seen many a visitor to the cabin where work is taking place, end up trying to walk on air unwittingly. Painful when your knee hits a floor beam. . C-FDTD, we'll be able to see you online live now when you move to your new location; NAVCAN's webcam. . Merci à tous, Salut . ...
