I don’t think I’ve ever seen a young flight crew operating one those old birds. Love it.

I’m not a pilot but I love watching these videos. Flying this looks like a physical and mental workout.

My father was 22 years old when he became a pilot instructor at Randolph in 1942. In 1944 he went to Missouri and taught pilots how to fly the gliders hauled up by the C-47s. After the war he went to Japan and when the Korean War broke out he was flying C-47s hauling troops and supplies in and out of Korea.

Brings back my happiest flying memories.I have long forgotten the A320 and B737,but the DC-3 is still fresh in my memory.

One of the best DC3 Cockpit videos on UKposts - love it

This brings back such great memories from my time in the Gooney Birds. I can still smell it and feel the air. We flew over a shopping mall one time with a huge American flag. That still stands out in my memory. Thank you!

I love the C-47/DC-3! Happy to see that this bird is still flying!

Beautiful!! I loved how the other old birds were buzzing the field during the checklist

Love it, thank you for sharing this experience with us! The sight picture is interesting with such a giant tail wheel, and the take off and landing performance is incredible with this giant machine too.

Wow! Thanks guys, this will help preserve this aircraft in the future digitally as well. It's so important to have the pilots perspectives too. Beautiful work, would love to see some more! Walkarounds, Pre flights, Planning, I'm all for it to capture what it feels like to fly a C-47 from start to finish

On of my favorite planes. Thanks 👍 Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.

Great video. My grandpa flew the Berlin airlift in these. Among his 30+ year career WW2 - Korea - Vietnam

Шикарный аппарат !!!! Дуглас красивая птица, легендарная! Приятных вам полётов!

I just got my type rating in the DC-3, very interesting aircraft to fly! Great video

love those old birds .. Dc 3 and beech 18 still there ! thanks for flying with you guys !

Great job showing off an icon! Love this airframe!

My grandpa flew right seat on a C-47 when he wasn’t flying combat gliders in WWII. Awesome!

a great clip, thanks for showing us. cheers NZ

Oh yeah! My first ever flight...in an RAAF Goony bird,from Edinburgh base in Sth Aust . An air cadet in 1963. Loved it,and would trust any of these fabulous aircraft and do it again!

The plane of my childhood dream.. good flight, good landing, congratulations

Thank you for this fantastic video ❤

Wow! RIGHT at the displaced threshold. NICE man! 👍🏻❤

Hand Flying all the time ! 👏🏼👏🏼 Great piloting, man !

Enough chop, chop?😊 Wow. Cool on the low landing approach. A5 thumbs up.

This plane and the deHavilland Otter on floats, my two favourite birds to fly

BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC PASSANGER PLANE!!!!

Doesn't get much better than this!!!!

Quelle magnifique vidéo, bravo aux pilotes des appareils, quel concentration...un savoir-faire qui se pert.

Oh god those trees were close on approach, holy moly

Пилоты молодцы, профессионалы. Отличное видео. Очень понравилось. 👍👍👍

Excellent Video!

Wow hell of a piece of machinery.

With those bank angle 18:38, I'd be sweating my balls off being on that thing. Kudos to your courage!!🎉

8:59 I have quite a few jumps out of DC3s and to this day it is still my favorite jump ships. It didn't climb as well as other birds and got pretty chilly up at angels 14 or higher but there was just something about them that's hard to explain.

Dad flew a C47 in WWII. One mission over Norway... then the European war ended. Did most of his military flying hauling troops back to the USA. Was based in Puerto Rico... then to Trinidad... (picked up troops ferried from the Azores) then to Miami. Telling us kids stories... into Miami... smoking Cuban cigars in the cockpit... propellers swing blue static arcs... He was only 22. Greatest generation.

Awesome video!

Grate video!!! ,regards from Uruguay

Those dudes got the best job in the world.

Nice Landing. Those trees looked pretty close.

Nice very well maintained airplane is looks like brand new classic airplane.

Awesome video

Very good !

Beautiful. I am IN LOVE.🛩❤👍🙏

amazing

That's Clermont County Airport - I was born in Williamsburg nearby. I've been in here in a 150 once.

SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWW, CONGRATULATIONS, WATCHING FROM BRASIL.

I'm affraid of heights. I've never been on an airplane. Maybe some day, when I'll be able to afford it 😁 Nice video! Thank you!

Cool video!

Nice! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Пилоту Браво! Приземлился на 5 !

Looks like you have to man-handle that plane! Are you doing thrust differential with your right hand?

Nice.

Молодцы ребята, так понравилось. Респект вам

hello from Paris France 🙂

Do you fly with the c-45 much? I think i may have snapped a pic of the pair, over Sullivan lake, in early may of last year. As a kid, my dad almost bought a deralict AT-11 for us to play in on the farm. He also owned a PT-17 at one time, that he flew.

Night flying inside this cabin must be very good!

Suena hermoso y es un clásico 😢😂💪🇦🇷👍

🤘CHECKLIST TECHNIQUE 🤘

Guys I wonder if this thing has War Emergency Power , injector switch ?? If it does, could you pull off a combat turn in it ? LOL./ Great video.

Amazing plane ! More better the all flying computers around...

Очень классно. Спасибо. СССР производил много самолетов Ли-2 пляти тоже самое по лицензии Douglas. Их много осталов в музеях. Какте то может и летают.

My grandfather was part of the 101st airborne he jumped from the c47

At 10:00 it would have been cool if both of you could have forward slipped all the way to touchdown on that runway ahead.

Plane sounds like screaming freedom when taking off

did not know harly davedson trucks can fly

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

niiiice

Flying that big ol pig of a 46 in formation has to be fun; did you try loops and rolls ?🤣

first 2 minutes: Good audio. Remaining 26 minutes: Nothing but prop noise. Good video but can I recommend trying to integrate headset audio into your videos? Radio audio would have been great to hear especially when trying to communicate formation flying.

cool

If it wasn’t for that GoPro I would say that the Earth was a globe😳

Высокий класс! 👍

coragem pra mais de metro gostei

This is real flying…not just setting autopilot switches.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

the phrase is called "balls to the wall" because in those old WW2 planes they had little balls on the ends of the throttle/prop/mixture and when shit hit the fan you just shove everything forward. Hence, balls to the (fire) wall.

what is the airport?

Have a Engine Pratt & Whitney R-1830?

Eu não entendi uma coisa! A manet de aceleração se ele tirar a mão ela volta?? Desacelera?? Kkkk

Bumpy ride in the old bird.

The Funny Stalker Aircraft.

why no white smoke when start up?🤔

He looked down the moment the plane jumped into the air. And that was the end of the video to me.😅

Bela filmagem, porém, o movimento excessivo da câmera foi entendiante. Parabéns ! 🇧🇷

I wish i could tell the pilot "you know it would be alot better of a time if you weren't such a hardass" lol, im a private historical fighter jet pilot and WW2 historical pilot at the same time, and formations are my thing, having a better look upon things (like your co pilot had) would have been alot better in your situation, reguardless of how stressful it is, unless you know, if your a rookie then if thats the case i totally understand, just kidding buddy haha, still great flying fellow aviators!

These planes still fly in Colombia's jungles and plains called "Llanos"

A Bus... oldtime flying Bus. =)

So amazing view of a cocpit😂

The big bus

Does anyone know what airport this is?

celal hocam haklıymış

it's the bugs bunny grremlin freighter

da ist fliegen noch mit enormer arbeit verbunden, denke ich...

The control movements on the stick are a bit exaggerated, after all, a C-47 is not a light aircraft.

Unlike today’s modern airplanes, will you fly beach 18 a DC three or Howard 350 you were always busy in the cockpit. After a few hours, flying these airplanes, you get really fatigued not in your muscles, but in your mental ability, Palm city, Florida

Охуенно !!! посмотрел с начала и до конца!

По-видимому гироскоп сменили на устройстве самолёта

C-47 dakota and DC-3 douglas are better planes!❤️❤️👍👍

Too much pre-takeoff cockpit chatter!
