Daybreak Aviation
Добавлен 3 май 2013
I bought two neglected airplanes and will try to get them back in the air. I plan on using the planes for training and family trips. Join us on this exciting journey.
Landing a fully loaded DC3 on a SMALL airport
We take a fully loaded DC 3 into Elk River Airport fro drop hurricane relief supplies. This is a small airport between the mountains. Not much of an option for a go around so we had one chance to get it right. This is a clip of the longer video posted a month ago. Many people only watched the first 6 min of that video. This is the best part of it so I decided to break it out and post it as its own video.
The DC3 was made for this type of short airports. We flew 20,000 lbs of cargo into the hard hit areas of North and South Carolina during the Hurricane Helene relief effort. If you want a shirt go to rockyhollowmetal.com your contribution is 100 percent tax deductible.

Thank you for sharing this with us. You and your beautiful Dakota are absolutely wonderful! ❤✈️
Fantastic film of the great work you are all doing there. Isn't her shadow on the ground absolutely perfect ❤✈️😁
I saw it in the 1st one, subscribed & enjoyed it again. There were 3 airlines flying DC-3's in & out of Erie Int'l Airport when I was young.
Thank you for subscribing. I love the DC3 and the sound of those big radial engines.
Thank you for what you do, I live in that area. Anything and everything helps, nothing is to big and nothing is to small.
Great video and a wonderful cause. I lived on Beech Mountain 4 years, and never saw an a/c land on Elk Park, let alone a DC 3.Thanks for posting..
A DC-3 doing what it was made to do and two pilots doing what God wants them to do. Be careful guys, God bless you for thinking of others.
It's always great to see a DC3 still working for a living.
True American heroes. Thank you for your service !
the most beautiful airplane ever build
This is incredible work, by the plane and the people. It's heartwarming to see these old girls still doing what they do best, getting in and out of tight landing strips and helping out where they are needed. Long live the Dakota, the greatest airplane ever ✈️❤️👏👏👏
God Bless! Thank You for your helping those that lost it all. The DC-3 was my first air force A.C. electrician job. Great Bird! Good Luck!
Marvellous work by the team and the trusty Dakota, always ready to serve even after 80 years! ✈️❤😊
I know I will probably never get the opportunity but my dream has always been to fly in one of these. The dc3/c47 has to be one of the best aircraft ever made.
I saw this DC3 sitting at the airport in Hamilton Ohio for a few. I was hoping she was still working. Good to see.
She still going strong, we just flew some vets for Veterans Day yesterday.
i know my home airport when i see it!
KGAD??
When a plane is right for the job, and gets that job done, then age doesn't matter. Airframe hours allowing, the DC3 will go on for many, many years to come.
It’s so nice to see that 80 years later this old lady is still in active service
Hey! Whose flag did it fly???
Maple leaf
@ thx
The Old Have Always something more to Give ! Awesome Opportunity & Heart warming story .
Wait, was this the DC3 that was up at the Northeast Alabama Regional Airport?
Yes, that’s home base
To think not only supplies of the past but before that also men stood and jumped from these plans to save the lives of the many and what a joy it is to see the DC still providing aid to those in need!
A true american workhorse. Even after 80 plus years the DC3 is proving her keep.
They don’t build them like this anymore.
Absolutely fantastic work! Stellar flying as well! I wish my Champ were bigger, but am working on getting an AN-2 and would love to use it to help my country in disasters like this. Godspeed y'all, THIS is what America is all about, fly safely fellas, love your DC-3- still bringing the goods after all these years. Greetings from Nor-Cal. 💪🇺🇸
That was awesome!!!
Outstanding landing at Banner Elk, Old bird is still delivering.
Trey did an awesome job landing super tight airport.
My grandfather flew c47s in Korea. He got to go up in a CAF one a few years before he died. He also flew C119s. He told lots of stories about those old tail draggers.
What I really love about this video-cameras work. Also this is a great airplane presentation. My uncle use to fly this bird in USSR for 30 years long time ago. And for some reason 99% of soviet union people so believe this aircraft was designed in USSR, and they called this model Li-2(Ли-2) which is totally wrong. My sub for your awesome job.
Li-2 was a Soviet built licensed production DC-3, produced in Moscow until '41 and used Russian engines. Somewhere between 4k and 6k built. Was even used as an improvised bomber during WW2. Honestly, I can see why it would be widely believed within Russia... It is definitely a design that fits with the Soviet design ethos. Utilitarian interior and so overbuilt it'd last generations if properly maintained. (was usally production quality not design quality in combination with poor maintenance practices that plagued the USSR and tbh still plagues the Russian military) video of the last known flying Li-2 ruclips.net/video/lzyP7CbQP_A/видео.html
@@brunsy1990 Good to know, and I absolutely agree with your statement
ya'll are doing amazing work, thank you!!! And your DC-3, what a COOL plane!! Worked on planes as a mechanic and crew chief for almost 40 years but never was able to turn a wrench on one of these beauties!!! Dang, so cool!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Got to fly on W7 back in 2019. A C-47 used in the D-Day paradrop. She is a wonderful aircraft, and DC-3/C-47 are amazing airplanes.
DC-3: Delivering more aid to victims than FEMA.
I think we could have done that with a Cub lol, it shows how inefficient the government is in responding to disasters.
If you can get it in the door, the DC-3 will get it into the air. - ancient proverb.
Awesome. After all of these years and she’s still out there flying support missions. Douglas nailed it.
They absolutely nailed it.
Thank you for your help to our fellow brothers and sisters in NC. And thank you for keeping such an iconic aircraft up amongst the clouds where she belongs. 80 years old and still gettin the job done, goes to show that "if you take care of them they'll take care of you" is a very accurate statement.
This gave me Berlin Airlift vibes.
Absolutely, what an amazing show of humanity.
if a DC 3 was a person he would be that unassuming 80 year old guy. when you see him you think it just some old guy but when crap hits the fan he is the first guy in the thick of it and yelling at you why in the hell are you standing there come and give us a hand. and he will out work all the young guys there because it aint even the worst day he has had.
God bless you and God bless the DC-3.
👎👎👎👎👎 There is no god.
There definitely is a God, I know it is hard to see in times like this but he is there.
Seeing those vortices coming of the props was epic, love the DC-3, flew in one in Christchurch New Zealand a few times, amazing workhorse, great work
Still serving its original purpose all these years later!
On October 6, I was sitting on my porch in Flat Rock, NC (less than a mile from the Hendersonville airport) and had a DC-3 fly over at about 200 feet. I don't think it was you all as this bird had invasion stripes. Anyway - I wasn't in a good place at that time and seeing my favorite aircraft fly overhead (the first time I've ever seen one in the air) was a much needed morale boost. So, even though it wasn't your aircraft I want to let you know that y'all provided more than just much needed supplies - you brought hope. Thanks a bunch from all of us up here!
I didn’t think about the effect of seeing planes fly over would have. Thank you for sharing that. I’m glad to of been a small part.
Landed behind this beast while delivering supplies at NC06 !!! I got a great picture of her. Durn nice crew too!! It was both of our first time in there and being a tricky approach we all worked together to navigate the valley and get on the ground. Thanks for all you did to assist !!
I’ll see if I have a video of you.
What’s your tail number?
That is not a DC-3 its a C-47 the cargo carrying version sold to the Army Air Corp originally. Affectionately know as the Goonie Bird!
FEMA cannot do what is needed in these situations. Not in the short haul. People were being rescued almost immediately by privately owned aircraft, helos , trucks jeep, side by sides etc. Thank you true Americans.
We find the Government is too slow to respond to situations like this. Too much red tape to cut through to be half way effective. It’s amazing seeing people work together to help strangers.
Thank you
I used to fly one of those a C-47 (N74589), out of Donaldson Center in Greenville SC for a few years flying freight all over North and Central America. It was a fun job but paid NOTHING. jim in Chile
They are Such a fun airplane to fly. Wish I could do it full time.
Did this plane used to sit in butler county Ohio ?
Yes it was there until it was sold and ow lives in Alabama.
You know my wife and I are watching this we are from Florida and our dream is to fly on a dc3 to see this fly and being used for what you are doing is so American its unbelievable and a true part of history in our midst . I wish I could be apart of this team and fly with you ... Good job
Here in Lee county Florida, mosquito control still uses multiple dc3’s regularly to spray.
