"ONLY TWO Days to D-Day!" Plane Savers E154

[@frankjames7247]

I am going to miss "Plane Saver's " it has been quite amazing how it has become part of my life each day, my thank's to Mikey and his team for all their efforts.

[@skyplonk]

I hear you there!!

[@rixtrix11]

So true. First thing I do when I get home from work!

[@pauljsims]

So true my day doesn’t feel complete without watching Plane Savers.

[@markbrooks140]

You have all become part of my family.

[@Haenki]

Benjamin needs to be offered a job at Buffalo after this!

[@pourquoiunidentifiant]

This post need to be pinned up !!

[@warrenyoung4978]

I was thinking the same thing. He would do amazing there for sure.

[@thesawch63]

I don't think Benjamin is in the mechanics trade , I think he is in design

[@walkingl3298]

William is no slouch either! Both will make great mechanics/techs.

[@ducku21999]

Yes yes yes. Or maybe air spray

[@ducku21999]

What can I say. Every episode is getting more and more emotional for me. Having spent 8 days volunteering on DTD and doing things I thought I never would. And not being there is killing me. The good news is I will be there for D-Day. I get to watch this beauty fly again, and even better I get to watch with all the fantastic friends that I have made on this journey. To Mikey, Stella, and Ronnie thank you for making my dream come true. See everyone on Thursday. Spaghetti Don.

[@01spm]

Very lucky Don, please sent me as many pictures as you can sinse i wont be there, it was great to meet you along with everyone who was there while I was. Great experience with new friendships.

I watched this 2022. Now its 2023 August. I hope you guys are still cooking. Excellent restoration.

[@deanclarke706]

I have watched every episode from the beginning and am entirely happy with where the DC-3 currently sits. You have taken an abused abandoned girl from the brink of death and breathed new life into her. One cannot express enough to the many folks who took time out of their lives to resurrect DTD, from old hands Ronnie, Jay, Bobby, Fred, Pierre et-al to the upcoming generation Benjamin and the other fellow (name slips me). This labour of love representing the Veterans of the second world war goes above and beyond all expectations and for that Mikey you have my undying gratitude. In the words of Buffalo Joe, she's a survivor and we will make her fly.

[@jamesglenn2006]

Great comment.

[@jasont.hansen3103]

"Doesn't this qualify for that music?" BAOTSLOL (beer all over the screen lol) ~ Thank you Bobby! Yes Joe MTL has a rat problem. Had a Ram Air Turbine at work today with the lines detached and capped off. It was signed off on and somebody gave it a look over yet the other end of the lines were not torqued. Luckily nobody got a skydrol shower, it was a mouse size puddle. Great to see ol Joe sniffing around and looking for nests. Now everybody knows the Plane Gods are real and we have men in direct contact with them. One more sunset to go before she flies again!

[@eric.vice.01]

OH BOBBY. As Lord High Curmudgeon of the Plane Savers Nation, I hereby bestow on you the title of BEST LAUGH OF THE ENTIRE PLANE SAVERS SERIES. Don't we rate that music right about now? I just about fell off my damn chair.

Buffalo logo on the rudder is the highlight of the episode, Mikey. It says it all. What an effort. I've watched every episode and can't wait for the finale. Congratulations to all who had any part whatsoever. It was a huge undertaking and a special thanks to ENA. Also, proud to see Joe doing his own inspection. Love it. I would do the same.

[@MrWladek65]

Thank you so much for sharing the journey with us

Pretty work by Serge on the roundels! And the tail cone goes on for the last time. Well done boys and girls! Amazing transformation for DTD. I still wanna see "Miss Stella" nose art on her.

Decals on, tail fairing back on for last time with dramatic music, spitfire takeoff, great episode.

[@rogergusty1802]

MIKEY, at 18:33 you said that we 'Had A Big One Yesterday'. BUT for us out here in the PLANE SAVERS UNIVERSE, everyday is a BIG DAY!!! Please, Please, Please carry on when this chapter for DTD finishes ... another chapter is bound to start, and a new adventure begins. So Mikey, Please, Please, Please carry on ..... we all need our fix ..... you and everybody involved have done a fantastic job.

[@christopherescott6787]

NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Wife and I need a dose of the 3 and Mikey every day!!!! How can one not swell with pride seeing this?

[@greenhorn223]

Mikey please don’t end the channel please keep it going on the trip of the plAne to Oshkosh and then what you are doing with the plane after that. I can’t believe the plane from what you all started with to what you have know it’s night and day difference. I hope you will consider keep the channel going!! Great job to all who have worked on the plane! I have been a subscriber since day 1 so I feel like it’s part of me!!

[@ufm10xxl27]

Bet that how loads of us feel too

[@jamesglenn2006]

I'm just going to start watching from episode 0 again. Mikey will come to his senses. He just needs a break, he's a machine but even machines need a little down time.

[@1SeanBond]

That is nice a really nice comment! A dedicated Plane Saver you are!!👍

[@colinford6456]

We are at D Minus 2. The months of preparation, dedication and hard work by all the Plane Savers team are paying off. Looking forward to the next instalment, hopefully DTD will get her call letters tomorrow, ready for the Day of Days.

[@BMcD79959]

Two days from now, what will I do? No more Plane Savers, sad, very sad. But I will take joy in knowing DTD is alive and well, thanks to Mikey and his gifted team!

[@randymichel459]

The best part of my day is seeing the Blue dot for new episodes next to Mikey’s channel icon and getting to watch the episodes and getting to know the people on camera and see how they go about things. I wish I could have been able to volunteer, but it’s been a great ride. I hope Bobby keeps us updated on his Tutor. Who knows, maybe another DC-3 or C-47 will be the next one to be saved or resurrected one day. Maybe it will be a jet, or even a Norseman. I’m staying subscribed to the channel. Thank you Mikey, Stella, Ronny, and everyone else who worked on DTD, and good luck on Thursday!

[@derekholme6308]

Fantastic job on the roundel's, but the coup de gras for me was when the buffalo decal whent on the top area of the rudder. Brought a tear to the old eyes. The climax just keeps building. Just two more sleeps and then D Day minus one.

[@flyingbeaver57]

You were not alone in the eyes department. I had tears in my eyes, and a big lump in my throat. I feel so much pride for each and every person who was part of this Plane Saving - it has been an amazing journey, and DTD is a real pin-up girl and a tribute to everyone's contributions and hard work.

[@Canhan167]

you turned that forgotten piece of history into a remarkable machine. kudos!

[@TheTsunamijuan]

Mikey you have pulled of a hell of a lot of work here. I started watching the first few episodes within days of you starting the project. It was a great idea. but the camera work and composition was kind of painful at times. But your enthusiasm and the help you managed to recruit on the way has turned this into something wonderful. Great work, prays for good weather and safe flights. Be proud of yourself and i look forward to the next plane?

[@davidangel-blair9358]

Great to see the roundels. Looks excellent! And the Buffalo Airways logo! Nice. Really excited for June 6!

[@johnmurphy6366]

Beautiful ending,reminds us why this project was undertaken,May she fly proudly.

A real tribute to all the Canadians who fell during WWII. Not only on D-day in Normandy, but also in Dieppe and in the first world war ! They gave us our heritage: freedom and liberty !

[@kb7pat]

I love this channel. Mickey, you need to find another DC-3 to bring back to life. They deserve it. More Plane Savers!!!!!!

Totally blown away by this whole series, Mikey. Been watching since the very beginning. This is so inspiring to see what you and your team have accomplished bringing this special airplane back to life. Can't wait to see her take off in a few days.

Amazing isn't it!! Nice comment!

[@martijnstoel5630]

Can't wait for the 6th! Loved the episode again! To be honest, I think the episodes where the focus is mostly on DTD are the best. I enjoy people showing their museums and stuff, but the main reason I subscribed is the restoration of the DC3.

[@Mudtiresrc]

Looking great!!! Hang in there Benjamin...if they didn't like you they wouldn't pick on you...lol...Decals look amazing!!!....T -2 days and counting...

Loved seeing the Buffalo decal go on. So many volunteers and so many donations of money and enthusiasm, but without Buffalo's resources of time, parts, cash (wages) and know-how, we wouldn't be here. Thanks to all and thanks to Team Buffalo ---------❋--🔴--❋----------

[@1SeanBond]

They sure did look great!👍

[@56WagonWheel]

Great bit of history about supply routes during WWII

[@flyingbeaver57]

Yes. And at long last, I now know the answer to a really odd anomaly in one of my dad's pilots logbooks from 1942. He was checked out on several aircraft types at the time - Harvards, Ansons, Hurricanes. Spits, and Beaufighters. But there's a 5-day interval spent zig-zagging across North Africa in the right seat of a Dakota, finishing up (if I read it correctly) in Cairo. He was taciturn in his logs, so there's no explanation, although his Squadron C/O signed off on that trip, and his temporary absence from the Squadron. But from this nice bit of map work today, I think I can fill in the rest of the story. The nickname "Sgt. Beer" gives an oblique reference to one part (my dad didn't drink). Funny how the pieces come together so long after the fact.

[@KevinJones-pj8kx]

Great progress. Serge did a wonderful job on the decals. Jay was happy to find only normal carbon in the strainers. The inspections are wrapping up. Great to see the antennas being installed to finish the radios and nav gear. Looking forward until tomorrow to see Joe's feelings following power runs and taxi tests.

[@ronpurcell9984]

Ah Mikey, what a jumble of nerves you must be. Many beers for Mikey and the whole crew. Can't wait to see taxi tests, woot!

[@qjones100]

Mark Hayes it will certainly be an honour. I will be thinking of my grandfather for sure but equally or more so the memory and spirts of the brave you men who piloted her on D-Day and the heroes who jumped out of her and gave everything to oppose oppression and fight for liberation. I only have the opportunities I have because they were willing to give it all.

[@renevandenborre3629]

Watched every single episode from day one and I had a feeling that this project would not only be accomplished but done on time. Mikey did not disappoint us at all but delivered. I found out about PLANE SAVERS through the site AIRLINERS.NET. That was a lucky break as I do not like television (haven't had one since I moved out of Alaska). I watched half the series Ice Pilots on TV and the other half on my laptop without having to pay for a server. Wow. So the plane looks great and so do the volunteers. Keep it up. You younger guys will have a great future. PS my last DC3 ride was in Yakutat Alaska to DRY BAY. Only a 70 mile run only to land on a short dirt runway with a dog leg in the middle and usually a moose or brown bear watching planes full of salmon go by.How MAJESTIC airlines was that?

[@jasont.hansen3103]

Rene Vandenborre ~ As a student at ENA I passed this sleeping beauty twice daily on a grueling public transit route and once said to a fellow traveling class mate "She will fly again one day, probably one day soon due to all this C-Series stuff ...." and he said 'never', then he went on to tinker with his ICE to electric car conversion project after school. The volunteers, especially J and Bobby, having access to the parts plus an aviation network, ENA, the teachers, Ronny, Stella, Mickey, the dogs, now Joe the boss and the plane savers world all pulled TOGETHER for the WIN !!! A phenomenal accomplishment indeed. Hope the engine runs and taxi runs went well tonight! Cant wait to see her fly again!

[@CZPO7DUTY]

Oh brother he makes the 3M application look smooth as silk. Very skilled gentleman. Thanks to PS I just finished a Boat Saver restoration project. And the last process was applying the 3M decals to the boat & motor cover. Picked up a good tip on the decal over the rivet line. Sweet. Pretty soon “wheels up” folks.👍👍👍🎯

Mikey, I wish I could say I've been watching since the very beginning, but it just isn't the case. I found your project through FlightChops. I watched a few episodes and decided to go back to the very beginning. I had a couple days off from work and powered through literally 90 episodes in those two days. Every day after work since I've watched a few and have caught up just in time to watch your achievement in real-ish time with the rest of your loyal viewership. It's a truly great thing you, but especially all those dedicated to the cause, have done. Thank you for chronicling it.

[@SIingoon]

The plane looks amazing, the whole Plane Savers team have done a truly awe inspiring job to bring C-FDTD up to flying status from a paddock dweller in just six weeks. I wish I had a crew like that on my Steam Train restoration (www.mrht.org.nz). This project has been an inspiration to those of us in the heritage preservation industry. I would have loved to have been able to share this journey with my Grandfather, who sadly passed away in January. He was a volunteer at the RNZAF Museum at Wigram (Christchurch New Zealand) for 29 years, and I have very fond memories of him taking me in behind the scenes and through the aircraft as a young child. Their collection includes a beautiful DC-3 that carried the Queen on her 1953 tour of New Zealand preserved in the royal tour configuration. As a RNZAF Safety and Surfaces technician Grandad (Flt Sgt W.D. Fitzharding-Jones) would have loved to see the wonderful paint job done by Stella and her assistants.
