The Mission: To save a stripped out and forgotten D-Day Airplane from the Scrapyard and get her flying for the 75th anniversary of D-Day (June 6th, 2019).
The Timeframe: We have only 6 months to get the DC-3 flying.
The Reason: This airplane is only a handful left in the world that actually flew on D-Day. We are getting her flying in the memory of people who lost their lives that day, June 6th, 1944.
The Cost: Everything we have.
I hope you AvGeeks enjoy the episode!

[@shane.t.clayton]

Just to let the folks at home know, I was the lucky bidder of Mikey's artwork at the CHAA banquet, and it is currently hanging in our maintenance hangar where all of our volunteer 'plane savers' who work on our Harvards can see it :-) In a twist of fate, the image that Mikey used as a basis for his artwork was actually done by me nine years ago as some concept artwork just after we started the Harvard 20304 project. Thanks again Mikey! See you at Oshkosh!

[@thesawch63]

Shane Clayton I was surprised it only went for $275 . I thought it would bring in 4X that amount .

[@bobbydouzepis8260]

Shane Clayton Got any projects for sale. Im looking for a Harvard to get some students involved in a prop restoration here in Montreal. If you can spare one of yours or know of any, please let me know.

[@MikeyMcBryan]

Very cool Shane!!!!! I’m happy it’s gone to a good home!!!!

[@1SeanBond]

Nice you got this Shane! And it is going To a great home! and what a cool story!

[@digsbyjames7726]

Episode 133! I have not missed a single episode! It has only improved since then. It is amazing to see the progress, the hurdles over come and the organizational skills to put everyone together! A massive undertaking. Kudos and thanks to the team! The volunteers have been phenomenal, and their willingness to be on camera offering a vicarious opportunity for those of us who are unable to be there. Having been in radio, and a part of putting daily (week day) 1/2 hr programs together I am also impressed at your commitment, creativity and passion to see this project presented in a daily format. Mikey, that is a huge accomplishment!! To everyone who is behind the scenes, don't think we have forgotten about you either. Congratulations for getting this far, and may the energy, the drive, the passion and the enjoyment for you and your entire team carry you through to a successful end of this chapter of DTD's life. May each new page of her logs be filled with safe, reliable flights. Thanks again!!!

[@davidbutterfield2949]

She’s going to look great with the Invasion Stripes, the paint job is looking fantastic. Great work Stella & the rest of the team. We are going to need a T shirt of the finished article! 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@angelreading5098]

D-Day stripes ! what a great idea,that is going to look spectacular,this sure is one unique paint job and all done by hand with basic materials,Stella looks good with or without a window frame and always brightens up our day with her lovely smile. Thanks for showing us that lovely shiny Harvard too and what a great museum that is. Your artwork is getting famous Mikey and what a kind gesture that was to help raise funds for the Harvard Association. We look forward to seeing the second engine runs soon.

[@_Medjoe_]

Invasion stripes! Minor suggestion that I noticed from my drawings when putting them on, a thin black stripe on the outer white bands to have them stand out, similar to the demo picture, otherwise the white will blend in with the Department of Transport livery. Unless there's an off-white paint that will be used for the bands to have the contrast. Definitely curious if the Type C roundel will also be added!

[@normanddenis4709]

That's the plan, Claudiu ! She's going to look great again.

[@libertyforever4270]

Hey Mikey, Another outstanding video. $275 for your artwork was a real steal. I would have paid $1000 US. Cool Cat Bobby looks good in blue. Go Plane Savers!

[@drenk7]

kirk chapman I had 4 aircraft I owned. All 1946 vintage. Sitting in the cockpit of an AV8B , I was an engine operator, it was still an airplane. More complex than my 1946 but the basics were the same😊

[@markthompson4885]

Mikey I thought for sure someone found a WW II .picture of S Y @ J . Stella in the window frame what a great still picture ! that would make. Can't wait to heir another Engine run up tomorrow.

Work seems to be progressing really well, I take my hat off to all concerned.

[@SRRC245]

7:41 It’s an episode within an episode!!! Great work mikey! I wish I could be flying a dc3 instead of a C152 Lol.

[@froggyziffle]

Don't knock a 152. I used to get frustrated with the 150/152 myself. It sure beats not flying at all (my current situation).

[@bryanbiggs9496]

Another great episode you guys. One day closer to the finish line

[@sargedutch1085]

Bobby is the man. He is one hard working guy.... Thumbs up to Bobby.

[@bobbydouzepis8260]

Gary Vikar Merci/Thank you sir for your kind comments. That is one great team I am part of.

[@jobeybutt]

It used to be that ENA let you use their hanger for a weekend. But now it seems to be in there all the time. What a FANTASTIC school to be giving you that time. The support for your mission is unbelievable. Looking forward to the big day.

[@Yippa391]

Just imagine where they'd be right now without that school!

[@bobbydouzepis8260]

Jobey Butt I can answer that. We would be cold, wet and miserable while struggling with cold hands on tools to get it finished on time. Thanks to ENA and their students and staff we are flying (no pun intended) thru all the difficult tasks while working in a brightly lit, clean comfortable space. Today was miserable outside but we were all comfy inside. Oh man, what a difference that makes.

[@jimdickinson3686]

I agree a midnight start! Here's a bit of music to Commemorate the Midnight Start, 1934, very British, still popular in WWII, Ray Noble with the great Al Bowly on vocal, enjoy--just getting you into the time, a portend of thing to come.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWe6qq2rod-LlZI

[@Hildrix]

That's my time Jim (slow...slow...quick..quick..slow). Al Bowlly died in the Blitz.

[@jimdickinson3686]

@@Hildrix, Yes, he was killed with a concussion bomb in his flat, another terrible loss of the war. I have quite a few of the records, most with Noble, they were some of my Dad's favorites. I have two 78 copies of this tune, one with a chunk out of it, the other cracked., darn, this record can cost up to $1000.00 on Ebay! It's one of the absolute best classics of the era. If you listen carefully, I think the understated piano in the instrumental part is Noble himself, the more lead piano part is Jacobson, their usual player.

[@paaln180362]

Happy birthday, Buffalo Airways

[@thesawch63]

Oh crap, I thought you found an original picture of DTD in its DDay paint !!

[@jimdickinson3686]

OK, Here's an OFFER for you. DTD's livery cannot be called "conventional or usual" in any sense, since you are already modifying the colors let's take it a bit farther. I suggest you substitute Blue, probably a Dark Blue, for the black in the invasion stripes, something maybe similar to or darker than the Dark Blue used on US Navy late war fighter planes like the Hellcat. I WILL buy you the blue paint. I will pay for it at our local Cloverdale Paint Store, here in Bellingham, WA, USA. It will be their wonderful Marine Enamel, will arrange for it to be picked up in one of their Montreal Stores, as long as it's blue, you can select the shade. Two gallons will likely do the job. The Blue will be for more attractive than the black, and will mitigate the color clash between the Teal Rudder and the Transport Canada colors, in my colorful opinion. Let me know. Jim

[@tagevj]

I just LOVE this You Tube channel. I´am always looking for new episodes. If i may ask i would like to see more of the technical things happening. Keep up whith your work Tage from Sweden

Thank you Mike for being this early today! It is 23:15 now here in the Netherlands so now i can get a decent night sleep and dream about DTD starting up for tomorows episode!! :-) ;-) Keep up the great work there!!! See you tomorrow!!

[@crazybrit-nasafan]

Another great episode Mikey. Looking forward to tomorrows episode. We just had a sad day here. My wifes Grandma Winifred Priestley passed away today. She was one of the last surviving land army girls who worked on the farms driving the tractors, doing the harvests and all the other jobs the farm labourers did before they went to war. Winifred was 96 years old. She also survived the Sheffield blitz. Today the world lost an angel.

[@bobbydouzepis8260]

According to my clock, still 90 mins to go to engine run. Hope she runs well for you.

[@ufm10xxl27]

Another great episode Mikey and early too. It was a great buzz to hear you mention my comment on liking the live streams on Sunday last. I think its great the way you take the time to go through the comment section to give everyone a like. Thanks for that. We are all over the world and you've got time to make us all feel like we're a part of the team. Fair play Mikey for putting this project together and honouring the people of D Day. Chris

You show the folks painting the invasion stripes with what ever they had. But what was the purpose of them seeing that they were not originally on the plane? Thanks if anyone can help

[@bobbydouzepis8260]

Thanks Bobby

[@avgas100]

Here is an idea. Why not apply for a registration YSJ? It won't be approved soon, but will be for later on. It would be cool.

[@jamesmiller1089]

Another excellent episode. Thank you

[@jamestraynor9947]

For the stripe. I used a laser on a tripod in the locked head position to mark a line on the fuel strakes on my Velocity XL doors at the correct angle for cutting. Works great on anything that you need a straight line at any angle, just adjust the tripod with head locked or floating. My 3 cents. Great work everyone has done and will be doing. Keep it up, it will fly for sure. !_!

[@fly4fun610]

Nice to see the tail surfaces all rigged and ready. I really enjoyed Danny's Harvard tour, but was surprised to see the mag switch in the Harvard set to "Both" instead of "Off". I would think that is bad practice even if there is no fuel in the plane.

[@woodytfc]

Mickey, Stella has done a stellar job on the paint. DTD is gleaming. The progress is amazing and that entire crew should be commended. It is going to be awesome to see Joe the legend lean out that window firing up number # 1.

[@quetzguy]

Hi Mikey and all PlaneSavers fans! Mike from the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association here... we just want to say thanks once again to Mikey for what you're doing for DTD and for how you've elevated the profile of warbird and vintage airplane restoration and made fashionable again, working to preserve these historic, iconic aircraft. Remember it was kids likely the same age as ENA's own students who trained on and earned their wings on Harvards like ours to be able to fly not only the Spitfires and Mustangs, but also the Dakotas and the Lancasters (among many, many other types) that eventually helped to win the war. So, so many of them never returned. We at CHAA try to commemorate and pay tribute to those airmen and women by FLYING our Harvards at shows, displays and flyins just as you will be flying DTD and displaying her at Oshkosh. Thanks for what you're doing with DTD and have done for us with your kind and generous donation to our own restoration effort. Mikey, you're the best!

[@MikeyMcBryan]

Thank you so much for all the stuff you guys do!!!!!! :)

[@crushingvanessa3277]

Lots of people than everyone disappeared? sounds like a Winnipeg city operation. Don't forget, when you paint the white over the red, it'll bleed through and turn pink. You have to seal it with something. On my red plastic models I use a gloss clear (for the sealer), then light grey(for a primer) and finish with white.Or just strip the red and black portions off, might be quicker.

[@andrewrixon2347]

I taught parascending on, what used to be, RAF West Malling, near Maidstone, Kent, England, Where Guy Gibson, of Dambusters, 617 Squadron, when he was on night fighters, bought a black Labrador puppy from a local farmer, for 15 years and watched a Harvard being restored in one of the hangars. Another iconic and beautiful aircraft. On its last day, when it left for its permanent home, the pilot barrel rolled it down the length of the runway !! Amazing.....
