Flying a DC-3 to Greenland, Engine Won't Start
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2019
- We leave Goose Bay to cross the Atlantic Ocean to Narsarsuaq Greenland in the DC-3, if inflight icing doesn't stop us. But how long will we be there if we can't get the engine started?

As an ex Airline pilot who crossed the "pond" many times in a variety of big jets, this should be compulsory viewing for all pilots planning to cross the Atlantic as maybe, just maybe you might need Narsarsuag as your bolt hole one day and this sort of film clip would prepare you for some of the problems you might face. Also would suggest that Ernest Ganns " Fate is the Hunter" should be part of the ATPL syllabus! Thank you for a wonderful film . Fantastic.
Had the pleasure of delivering the AVGAS to this beauty on your stop in Reykjavík on your way to Europe, must say that this old girl stands out as one of, if not the most beautiful aircraft I've seen in my life. Couldn't believe my eyes and ears when I saw and heard this beauty flying over me both when you guys arrived and departed from Reykjavík.
I just love hearing professionals talk about issues in this calm and reassuring manner.
Likewise, especially on highly complex subjects!
"Hey Douglas, what's your type?"
"DC3."
"Outstanding!"
This part gave me goosebumps, but in the best way possible. Such a simple exchange but it was a great moment.
Be v by videos book be boo cut at at r rrrrr zzz ssß see if VB bbnnnnnnmmm
We
DC3 was all they had to say, everyone knew them and there was never any questions where they were on the flight line
11:20 btw
What would've been really cool is if they had been able to make their callsign "clipper"
I loved this part too. I love the community aspect of aviation like this, which im not sure is replicated in too many other parts of life. Fantastic :)
Hey Matt, greetings from Narsarsuaq Tower. Great video, it was awesome to see the arrival from your perspective. Happy that you enjoyed your stay here :)
I love your accent
Thank you for Air Traffic Control from such a stark and beautiful air strip.
You guys deserve more traffic than just this lonely little party.
Cheers :)
Ole, I recognized your voice from other videos flying into Narsarsuaq. Are you the only ATC there?
Do any Inuit(?) Greenlanders work with you? Your name seems very Danish.
20:00 Smooooooooooooooth AF .. The build up to that landing was awesome!
word
It's beautiful watching these guys work, and watching that bird fly.
Butter.
DC-3 was the first plane I ever flew in way back in about 1950 or 51. I was 6-7 years old and my Dad flew it part of the flight. He was an engineer with the old CAA before it became the FAA. Flew out of the old Atlanta GA airport. This video brought back such wonderful memories. THANKS
The first plane I ever flew in too! Slightly different era (1985) but I was the same age as you were. I live on a small island and had made many, many boat trips but I first flew aged 6 when a DC-3 visited the island and took my school class out for a flight over the archipelago. I had never seen our islands from the air and seeing them from above for the first time left some sharp memories. I remember my dad explaining to me how important the plane was and how he was a little envious at not being able to join us. We all had to show up to school with a fiver in our pockets to pay for the flight. I'm grateful they thought to give us youngsters that whole experience. Thanks for commenting as you also brought back some great memories for me.
Wow you were alive before the jet age...
I recently just saw a DC3 flying around near PDK in Atlanta. What a beautiful bird
My first flight (in 1960, I was 9 years young) was in a DC3 of Central African Airways (or was it Airlines?) from Chileka in Nyasaland (now Malawi) to Salisbury (now Harare) in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). I got to visit the cockpit and talk to the pilots! An unforgettable experience. I just love the plane - I've been a member of the Danish DC3 club for many years now. 😀
I'm not a pilot, I know very little about the aviation world, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this series.
I know nothing about aviation other than flying terrifies me... I enjoy it too :-D
Check out Mentour Pilot. He's great at explaining useful sh*t
As a aviation structural mechanic first class when I was in the Navy and worked on both jet and propeller driven aircraft the old aircraft was in most reliable aircraft ever
@@xxxggthyf , all aircraft gets their lift by the size of their wings and there is more pressure on the bottom of the wings and less pressure on top of them creating " lift"!
@@billludolph1696 I've been watching a lot of flat earth videos for the last hour... Nearly.. and so I'm now an expert and you're wrong... It's because of buoyancy and the fact that there's more uppity over the wings than droppity under them. And something to do with perspective I think.
Only kiddin'... I know how planes work and I know in theory how to fly one (that's almost the same as in practice right?) it's the everything else about the aviation world I know nothing about and that suits me fine. If I never get on a plane again it'll be too soon. I'm far too scared of the droppity taking over and me plummeting down from chemtrailing height to hit the flat-earth in a big ball of flame and splintered bone.
NURSE!!! THE SCREENS!!!
:-D
“We’re out of sour cream onion pringles”
.....
*squaks 7700*
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY, we need to divert back and get stocked up on pringles, we are OUT OF PRINGLES
Squawk 7500 and get the Air Force to deliver them to you 🤣
Really enjoyed the CRM parts of the video. Always nice to see a well oiled machine (team) in the cockpit.
I crewed a c-47 in Viet Nam 1970 ,I have not been around them since then , your series brings back so many memories ,thanks
UAL 004 is 787-900 service from London Heathrow to Houston International (LHR - IAH).
Solid content! Really enjoyed the troubleshooting near the beginning, calm, cool, and collected pilots.
I'm not that chilled driving my truck (automatic everything) never mind a DC-3!
Ex Volunteer Firefighter/EMT here - Keeping calm, cool, and collected with a smidge of fear is how you stay alive!
excellent video, really shows the adventure of flying which is missed when you're crossing the Atlantic at 37,000ft
I flew this route six times in Twin Commanders 20-30 years ago, sometimes skipping Narsarsuaq, but always including Reykjavik and Goose. Thanks for the chance to see it again :-) One time a starter motor failed on departure from Narsarsuaq. I called my UK Commander rep, Douggie, and he told me exactly where to find a spare unit over in the middle hangar. I could just go and get it - he had the owner's permission to do that - and get a mechanic to swap it out. I don't know if that sort of thing would work today, but it did then, and was part of the magic that made flying wonderful. I'm so thankful for having been part of it. PS: For the rest of my flying in that Commander, I carried a spare starter motor - and never needed it again myself, but once was able to help another Commander pilot in the same fix, again via Douggie, bless his cotton socks.
Video was great... but it doesn’t need the click-bait title... “Flying to Greenland in a DC-3” would get the views all by itself. Thank you for the vid 👍🏻
I Think the Video Editing titles are out of wack, if you watch the next one, it starts off with engine problems trying to leave. I think it ended too soon...
yea the next one they couldn't start the engine. So I guess not entirely click baity? lol
@@dajilus2410 Yeah… I can be somewhat of a dickhead so ignore my comments lol
My first flight at 12 years old was from St. George, Utah to Salt Lake City in a Hughes Airwest DC-3 in 1974. The juxtaposition of an iPad in the cockpit of a DC-3 at 0:37 is a sight I never thought I would see. Great video!
"Alright... I can smile now"
Very cool to see how yall get along and work as a team. Live the dream and thank you for sharing with all of us.
One of the best yet Matt. Thank God for rich guys that love planes. :-)
AND.... Giving reverence to Brave Men & Women in History who deserve to be Remembered 👍
Is he rich or is this just an example of a young guy with his priorities in check? Don't make assumptions...that kid grinds and works for his airplane. Doesn't even have a car.
YYC Not Matt....the owner of the DC3
@@pipercomanche2506 Oh! Goodness, yes. You're right. Haha!
YYC :-)
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this video since part 1. More DC-3 please 😅
Fate Is The Hunter - one of the best books I've ever read.
Mark Keely I think I read Fate Is The Hunter when I was 13 or 14 years old and absolutely loved it. It is a fantastic book and I plan to read it Again.
Awesome sound of the P&W on take off from Goose Bay.
Wow. This is why we all love aviation so much. Thank you Matt.
I love the old C-47's. When I flew one in the Air Force, everyone had to chute up, and when we refueled everyone had to stand outside. If it was too cold, a bus would come out.
"We're out of Sour Cream and Onion Pringles." - Ruh-Roh! It just got real.
you know he was thinking of turning around.
So THATS why the engine wont start!!
That UPS pilot is my type of pilot. Great CRM, relaxed and open to input from the rest of the crew. That's the type of pilot I always enjoy having with me in the plane.
Muppet SOPs. Lack of planning. TEM and DODAR but Joe McBryan had a much better feel for it.
Not sure they used too much CLR/CRM/TEM to make the decision to depart under those adverse weather conditions. Why T/O in marginal IFR icing conditions? Beautifully filmed though.
Watching these two pilots execute such awesome teamwork makes this video. Especially when they methodically worked through the problem. Excellent work by these two men!
Love how you did the ending, engine is just turning over.
Great video.
Extremely cool, thanks so much for sharing. My dad was there in '42!
Thanks, Matt. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. Your hard work in putting this together is greatly appreciated. Great crew on that Douglas.
Really enjoyed the video. Spent 3 montsh in Thule Greenland in 1985, with stops in Sondrestrom to and from Thule. Greenland is so beautiful.
After the position report and you hear "Douglas what's your type?" A huge smile spread across my face. :)
The coolest thing for me is the airplane's livery! LOVE seeing PAN AM clipper in the skies again! Can't believe no one else commented on THAT! Try using some 1940's music next time. Come Fly With Me etc.
See Greenland again brought back good memories when I was stationed at Thule AB from May 84 to May 85
Some of the very best DC-3 content I have viewed. Great job Matt!
They should really add an AWESOME button to YT, man this is freaking unbelievable! Loved every second, thanks so much for sharing!
I like your videos Matt, they're so aviation-oriented unlike other channels. A lot of the coordination, troubleshooting and minute by minute navigation is shown here. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Matt. Really amazing, really one of your best. Greets from Austria!
I love the coorperation at 09:54
Of course its sort of what you do when you're in a situation like that,
but it still makes me very happy to hear pilots helping each other out.
The funny thing is I am a million miler with Delta and United. Close to 4 million with Delta. I keep a flat in London so I fly back and forth a lot and I have had that United 4 Pilot/ Co Pilot a couple of times to and from Heathrow across the pond. I am gonna ask the next flight I hear his voice on and see if it was him and if he remembers. I suspect he does as I have yet to meet a commercial pilot with a bad memory much less forgetting this plane. Lol
**watches plane vids partially to subdue anxieties about flying**
**problem happens and they act calm but intense music starts playin** 💀
Beautiful flying guys. What a great plane. Your group is very professional..
What a beautiful video. Even more incredible is appreciating the trip was to do with Normandy 75.... Amazing....
ruclips.net/video/n-n7ITrexAY/видео.html
so calm.. so relaxed. easily talking through the issues. man those are great pilots.
around 20 years ago i was in Goose... with the good old F4F Phantom (GAF)
"Dude ... we're going to Greenland ... in a DC-3. How cool is that?"
"It's flippin' awesome!"
I have to agree!!
I'm *SOOOOOOO* envious of these guys!
omg there is actually someone else on the internet who knows the difference between "jealous" and "envious". thank you
Great video, riveted the whole way through. Thanks for keeping the coms part of the experience.
Absolutely awesome series Matt and Crew, thanks for allowing us along on the ride!
@20:00
Inspirational landing! This 63 year old was on the edge of my seat. Fabulous camera and video. What a grand adventure viewed this day;
January 24th, 2021
Superb Matt!! thanks for this, what an adventure!
You have a very good sense of how to tell a story. The camera positioning, cuts, takes, production value are all outstanding, especially if you are an amateur?
Matt, the coolness of that video is beyond words. Thanks so much.
Awesome lunch break, thank you Matt and Crew. very professional and great site seeing.
When I saw DC3 to Greenland I said to myself “Hey that’s the same route as Fate is the Hunter!” (One of the handful of books I read cover to cover. ) then you said it. Haha.
Looking forward to the next installment!
I don't know how many times I've watched this. The series is among the best avgeek travelogues there is. But this chapter gets me every time. The cowl flaps, position report and going all Ernie Gant into the fjords is worthy of an Emmy.
Having flown the DC3 about 1,500 hours.....that is a sweet heart........still my favorite airplane, and I've flow several. Thanks for the video!
awesome view of the spiraling slipstream off of that prop on takeoff at 2:48
Nice video. I like the views, of course, and the old technology. But I am also in awe of the displayed professionalism. To have 6 pilots on board... what luxury. Editing, as usual, very well done.
id bet not a single one of those pilots knows what an I-101 gauge is.
Awesome! The 1st stretch of the flight was so nerve-racking trying to handle all those anomalies, yet you were rewarded with stunning landscapes flying into Narsarsuaq. I love those dramatic Nordic fyord landscapes.
Very moved by this Matt. My dad was the radio op on a PBY that crashed on the Greenland icecap during WWII - Jan 1943 - they spent 16 days on the icecap in the dead of winter before being rescued. I've thought of going there - to the bases at least - perhaps set up an amateur radio station and contact others around the world as an homage… Narsarsuaq was the likely goal... A thousand thanks for taking me along for the ride!
When I heard the engines on takeoff, I thought of my dad and his PBY in the Aleutians. He was flight engineer sitting in the wing spar by his little windows.
WOW!....what a great episode!! Also, that's got to be the best looking DC-3 I've seen. The flight deck is just awesome!
Quality video enjoying every moment thank you
Another great video. Thanks for taking us on your trip! Beautiful landscapes and a chance to see some troubleshooting on the spot!
Amazing! Watched a few youtube aviators making that approach into Greenland in the last couple of weeks. Never gets old! Keep up the good work!
Matt that was some excellent flying. You don't know me but my father and i refurbished Dc-3s in S.F. California some years ago !!
*United 4* "Douglas what's your type?"
*"DC3"
Mic drops, everyone stands and applauds, tears stream down United's faces.
:)
Nothing drops, they use a headset.
@@erikjohansson1814 ... Killjoy! :-P
Honestly, that moment was absolutely cool!
gooney bird
I cracked a massive smile at that moment. :D
Fantastic luck with the weather for landing. Beautiful place!
Remember flying on a KC-97 through Goose Bay to England back in 1969. We return by the same route a week later and was it one long flight. Won't take anything for that experience. The only time I flew on a DC-3 was in 1967 from New Orleans to Greenville, MS. Great memories. Love your channel..
haha- that smirk on the greaser landing. he knew he nailed it. that was awesome.
You Sir get a yuge *LIKE for that call sign KEMO SABE. How I do it cuz I never thought of doing it your way. Both ROCK IMO...*
8:17
“We’re outta Sour Cream n’ Onion Pringles.”
*beat*
*O Fortuna starts up in the background*
Ahahahahahaha! All is lost no point in continuing that would of been classic.
It's a hundred and six miles to Greenland, we've got a full tank of gas, a half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses...............HIT IT.
My family used to live in the Bahamas and we flew a DC-3 from Miami to Eleuthera in the late 70's. My most fond memory was my mother and I once being the only only passengers onboard and I got to ride in the cockpit until shortly before landing...so many thanks to the long defunct Mackey Airlines, which flew on a single engine during cruising, thus fostering memories an eight year old will never forget, looking out the window and seeing an idle prop. As a Pan Am brat, thanks for flying her again and rekindling fond memories.
Wow, I'm so doing a greenland approach when Microsoft 2020 comes out, also PMDG release the DC3 already!
what is PMDG?
Engine start problem,maybe another cartridge is required like in "Flight of the Phoenix"!! What a view before landing btw.
Stop, i forbid you!
ALLL RIIIGHT! Glad to see that there are still true enthusiasts and real pilots/aviators out there!
"Makes my geart soar like a hawk."---Chief Dan George, in Little Big Man.
I'm listening to the engine "noise" on take-off with goosebumps all over. That's music.
Matt, just a fantastic video production! Your recording quality and post editing is superb, with the many cameras in the cockpit and those frozen ones out in the slipstream that drew the short straw!
It's like I'm right there with you all as you fly across the wet and frozen stuff. Fate is the Hunter is my favourite aviation book, which I found and read along with most of the others in his series, in second hand book shops down here in NZL, back in the 90s! The flight deck CRM and decision making is superb. Wow, DC3 time in the logbook. The P&W Symphony at takeoff, and that tailwind greaser at the end - Just superb!
FINALLY!!! Gann-o-philes! However, an HF waiver does not make communications authentic... until you had to relay the position report, AND... the freq interference by the ignition system make it back to the 40's.
Thanks for posting the professional airmanship and proving that these old birds can be flown using standardization.
Diagnosing abnormalities by the feel of the aircraft can still be used in today's aircraft, if you are willing to listen to her. I am so glad that your example is public so that the 'magenta liners' might understand the differences of being a pilot, and an aviator.
"JETS ARE FOR KIDS"--- Save-a-Connie motto.
Very interesting video, especially for me.
My father was an RAF pilot during WWII and flew a similar route in the same plane when returning from Canada to England.
Did his flying training in Canada in Boundary Bay, North Battleford Saskatchewan, Patricia Bay, BC, Dorval, Quebec
I have his flight log still:
1944
Date Aircraft Number Pilot or First Pilot 2nd Pilot, Pupil or Passenger Duty Hours
June 8 Dakota 666 Self p/o Turner Dorval to Mont Joli 6:45
9 Dakota 666 Self p/o Turner Mont Joli to Gander 4:30
10 Dakota 666 Self p/o Turner Gander to B.W.I. (Greenland) 6:30
11 Dakota 666 Self p/o Turner B.W.I. to Reykjavik (Iceland) 6:30
12 Dakota 666 Self p/o Turner Reykjavik to Prestwick 5:45
He was then assigned to Number 52 Squadron in Calcutta and became one of relatively few RAF Hump Pilots across the Himalayas.
He was eventually assigned to be the personal pilot for a British General (Sir Adrian Carton-De-Wiart) who was Churchill's attaché to the Chiang Kia-shek.
He also flew several dignitaries include Lord Mountbatten, The British Ambassador to China, the Canadian Ambassador and several other high ranking British officers.
He was de-mobbed Sept 1946 after flying Dakotas for 1710 hours.
Thanks for providing some insight into my fathers experience.
Interesting to get a glimpse of your father's log. Thank you for sharing!
Tks for the anecdote! My uncle was driving the Queen of England in Kingston, Ontario. She was sitting on two cushions to get her to level. My uncle was told not to talk with her...But he replied: She talks to me, I talk to her. He was also driving Chiefs of States in Montreal Expo 1967; made friends with some but refused to take De Gaule. Cheers!
Reading your comment just gave me goosebumps!
Fabulous sound of those engines....as it takes off.
Brings back golden memories.
I remember when a kid going on the DC3 from island to island....loved every minute...
What a plane...
one hell of a plane love that sound going over
Can you imagine all that chatter on landing happening while flying the hump during WWII?lol! "Hey, there's a dirt road...land it" Landing checklist complete.
Thinking of my father- William Graham Howard, who flew for Pan American Grace Airlines (1946-1949) - from Trinidad to New York and South America. He spent the War flying C-47s from Pope Field dropping paratroopers and pulling gliders. He though he would might fly Boeing Flying boats at Trinidad - but, nope - Goonie Birds...
Fascinating!! Thank you for the food shots, too. Great video, Matt. You're the best!!
It was a nostalgic moment for me. I used to fly the DC3 50 years ago in Northern Canada. There were noticeable differences in how we operated. Great work. Unforgettable adventure and a really good video. Thank you all.
One of the questions I have is how do you mount the gopros on the outside of the plane? I've got to imagine you're going too fast for suction cup mounts.
Relaying that position report through the United aircraft was incredible!
And a good call by Matt,for getting the flight location/time info relayed. Always nice to have some ham radio net experience in your communications backround.
Amazing Footage, Excellent Editing! Fantastic content, really enjoyable to watch all the cameras recollection of images! Congrats! Already waiting for next part of the journey.
That was a beautiful visual approach. Didn't see the VASI but it was mentioned low, concerned for a second. Great job😀
Did I miss the engine not starting? No its was 5 secs from the end !
You guys wanna make me cry ?? Oh Pan Am ! how I miss you....
Certainly one of your best Matt. My very first flight, Sept '63 ACK to BOS, DC 3. My imagination has soared ever since. Looking forward to continuation.
Thanks you sooo much!! Loved both films. Everyone in the film was great. What a great adventure! Thanks so much for letting us fly along. You guys are all great. Terrific team! These two films are better than any ten film in the movies today.
2:42 - 3:20 That is music to my ears... a 2,400hp orchestra!
I was just walking into work when a Bonanza was landing at the nearby airport and thought to myself, 'When will there be a new video on this channel?' ...I would love to visit Greenland one day.
AND.... not one crew member was wearing white sunglasses on this flight! Bonanza videos are more common than weeds.
Oh man!!! Lost for words. Truly AMAZING!!!
That approach was awesome, I keep watching it!
That's pretty cool but was kind of clickbaity though.
Just goes to show that not all click bait is bad! Anything related to a DC3 is always worth watching!!
@@ybirch9735 it's all deceitful. Remain skeptical.
I love seeing great pilots doing great flying xD
I can't get over how beautiful this DC-3 is. It is truly an awesome bird!
absolute perfection on that landing, top notch pilots, thanks for sharing, very cool
