- May 20, 2017 - Thank You Barry for allowing me to fly in his newly painted Douglas “HIPER” DC-3 / C-47 "Virginia Ann" at the Flabob DC-3 Fly-In
Thank you to my wife Gail for ground footage of Virginia Ann Flying
Video includes On-board footage that I took during Takeoff, low and high speed passes over Flabob Airport and then coming into land.
This is a Douglas “HIPER” DC-3 Yr. 1943 N62CC
This aircraft was built as a C-47 and then on Feb. 15, 1955 was converted by Pan American World Airways to a DC-3 Hiper Conversion, which removed the standard DC-3 P&W R-1830s engines to DC-4/C-54 P&W R-2000 Engines that included Modified Stainless Steel Cowlings and engine mounts from DC-4, also installed what they call is the “Crosswind Landing Gear” which is Heavyweight Landing Gear used by the Military on later versions of the C-47.

• "Virginia Ann" C-47 Fl... .
My Dad flew one of these in the RAF. I took him to see one at an airshow years ago. I NEVER saw him more happy. I miss you Pa.
Ya I miss my Pa as well, what a great Man he must have been to fly one of these and I'm so glad that he got to see on again before passing. Take care and thank you for sharing your story :)
Thank you for posting. :) Brought back a lot of great memories.
I used to gas up Navy’s C-117 when they flew into my first command. I think they are the aircraft perfection.

The nicest plane in the world !
A true classic for sure, thank you for watching 👍😎
That's some great footage Ed. Hopefully someday I'll be able to get a ride on a C-47.

I got about a 1,000 hrs on one of these. Super video.
Impressive footage of the mighty DC3 :)!
This Mighty DC-3 has DC-4 engines in it so Mighty is very appropriate. Thank you for watching :)
Excelente video!...Me llamó la atención que despegó sin los flaps extendidos. En el video se aprecia mucha velocidad de despegue y aterrizaje para un DC 3 a pistón; no sé si es ilusión , velocidad en la reproducción o velocidad real. Gracias , de los mejores videos de DC 3 que he visto!
Thank you for watching 👍😎
I'd love to ride in all the airplanes you've been in.. They're just so expensive.. Haha. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your kind words and as far as the great work I will try my best, again thank you :)

Quando criança viajei no C47 até hoje eu me lembro ,tenho uma vontade de voar outra vez nesse avião.eu vibro com o som dos poderosos motores radiais
這是在哪？（ 好像 C-47 專用機場哦！）
Seen one too. Do you know if any of them could hold a Jeep or other light vehicles. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend
Yes they could carry Jeeps and other light vehicles as long as they had the Double Cargo Doors. Thanks for watching :)

1000 Hours that's awesome, what area do you fly out of? Thank you for watching :)
I would love to jump out of this airplane. I have jumped twice from a Navy version the R4D. Lovely plane indeed..
Hopefully you will get to jump out of this bird one day, thank you for watching & stay safe.
@@EdWhisenantAviation Sir very respectfully you have a very beautiful airplane. The guys I jump with is from Lancaster TX with the CAF and Airborne Heritage Platoon for my reunions Sir. I am sure you do a ton of historical air show events. As a veteran Paratrooper I would love to jump out of your fine plane. Merry Christmas to you and family and AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY! Personally from me...
@@reddevilparatrooper I'm sorry, I do not own this beautiful aircraft, be safe & Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
Sounds Like A Douglas DC-4
Yes it really does with the DC-4/C-54 P&W R-2000 Engines - Thank you very much for watching 👍😎
I’m the current “curator”, if you will, of this piece of history. The Virginia Ann is on track to make the journey back to England and France this May to celebrate the 75th D-Day Anniversary. You can follow the story of all the C-47s making that trek at www.ddaysquadron.org. You can also check out www.daksovernormandy.com
It was a real job no pills and funny smoke then
我也有三千多秒的飛行記錄喔！
