Awesome catch of this spectacular old bird! She still looks as good as new. Good job Air Chathams for restoring these old aircraft and keeping them flying for years to come.
Yeah, me too, I should. Haven't got the chance yet. Wouldn't be going especially for that though, so I just have to be lucky to see it when I'm around already.
I'm glad Air Chathams is flying the old birds! Is this airline rare to see at Auckland? Before I read the description I was thinking about their DC-3. I will watch that video soon!
Great to see this classic aircraft in action, it's still looking very good for 60 years old. Nice catch!

Liked - so cool to see this type still flying! I have flown on Allegheny Airlines' Convairs. Yeah - I am that old! LOL!!
Very nice catch! WOW! Is it still used for passenger flights?
Thanks! They are still in service indeed, even their DC-3 still transports pax, for as far as my info goes!
Amazing catch!
Great catch & filming mate! Congrats!

Was this a regular commercial airline service?
Yep, it is! Air Chathams uses rare and old planes, which is awesome. They have Convair 580's, a DC-3, Metro III's and more.
