Interesting, isn't it, that nearly all modern airliners today closely resemble this Douglas bird in shape, profile and general appearance? ... Beautiful!
nice i remember when a dc-3 passed through my area and did some tourist flights, was great fun a classic plane flying low and slow over the only delta river in australia, awesome times
Flying a DC3 and being paid what a dream job ! I'm new to this channel and first of all : thanks for sharing all those dreaming images and stories ! But whatever why spotters add music to there video, for me engine and prop sounds or ATC are always the best music even with a bad mic and high wind. Anyway this is just my opinion. Thank you and keep going !
Glad you enjoy the video Pierre... No worries, the program is close to 4hrs long and there is no music on it... you will hear all the airplane sounds ;)
Algunas veces los sentimientos vibran juntos. A mí me encantó que superada la mitad del video, se agregara una banda musical acorde a la época del DC3 acompañando tan bellas imágenes.
I assume it is the sandbar destination referenced in the narrative in the video. But that water was really splashing up high, but hopefully the engines were high enough the front escaped the water. Looked pretty iffy, though. How much of a threat of throwing up stones and screwing up an engine?
HeartlandTuber DC3s are able take flaks and flying shrapnel from enemy's AA guns and survive to land the aircraft. If they can take incendiary or fragmentation bullets, they can easily take stones
I remember flying in those bad boys from Minneapolis to Wausau WI in the 70's and 80's on North Central Airlines - later to become Republic airlines. Scary but fun rides. Good to see they are still in operation.
WW2 planes has advantages in short take off and landing . That is different in landing gears positioning . WW2 planes has steering wheels are low levels . That is Advance to main wings angle of attacks are high psition in Take off and Landing . That can get too short run way . Disadvantage is unstable to take off and landing in lift start point . Today planes are landing gears linear that isWW2 planes short take off and Landing effect is lost . That is my view of Landing gear position changing effect .
Ohh wonderful! A highly reliable and very robust aircraft. Great that there are still some legendary Douglas DC-3s flying around.

Amazing landing in the end. Will get this for sure!
The landing at the end was so cool!!!!!!!!!
What are they landing on at the end, brave guy's. Always love DC3 videos, all time classic icon of design and engineering.

How long it took them that time for those flights sir ? Happy Traveler
It was about a 35 minute flight from MSP to CWA back in the day.
Enjoyment plus! Thank you for this.
btw, that landing @06:29 elicited thoughts beyond my wildest imagination.

I love the dc3
I'd love to put a DC-3 in my logbook!
AMAZING.............KEEP THEM FLYING GUYS.
I wonder what those two people who thumbed down the video look like.
At 3:34 why do the flaps retract just when the plane touches the ground?
The old good lady. :)
Im have this airplane in the fsx
Why does he rotate with full left aileron at 1:59 ?
@4:31 thegaminglemon music! Lol!

Isn't that water corrosive?
er1073 dont think so
It shouldn't be a problem if the plane has been refurbished.
Anti corrosives and sealant would kepp it from corrosion then?
er1073 And the aircraft is mainly aluminium.
