Um dos aviões mais feios do mundo

Die boeing stratocrusier sehr schönes 4 motoriges flugzeug der us air force 4 ktaftvolle sternmotoren spannweite wie eine b 29 superfortress mit 2 rümpfen gebaut tolles flugzeug danke für das video

Es paradójico que este avión fuera "Angel of Deliverance" para Berlin mientras que su hermano el B29 fuera Angel of Death para los japoneses y especialmente para Hiroshima y Nagasaki

Awesome

Very beautiful sound! Love the sound of those Pratt and Whitney twin wasp radial piston engines!

Is this a turboprop?

CARB has deemed this flying horse kock a gross polluter

Prolly the ugliest best looking aircraft in the world

Super Guppy father.

Kurtis thanks for hosting this you done a fantastic job. Hope to meet you some day.

That taxiing alone was like when a kardashian flew to paris just to have her favorite bun in a shop and flew back, jesus

This is just excellent! Thank you.

interesting music reminds me of Frank Zappa later stuff.....

What a great video. I'm a Fairchild child, my parent's met on the bus going to Fairchild. I used to work and fly my own plane based at Hagerstown airport and this video brought back many great memories. Thank you for this wonderful trip back in time.

Some historical perspective. This airplane first flew in 1944, had a top speed of 375 miles per hour, could carry a useful load of 35,000 pounds, had a pressurized cabin, retractable landing gear, a four row 28 cylinder piston engine developing 4000 horsepower each. 41 years after the Wright Brothers flew for the first time. Imagine what we were doing in 1983 and fast forward to today, the B2 was already on the drawing board... This is a pretty amazing machine and was a pretty amazing period.

And like Long Island they're probably all gone now.

He went gear up then the gear dropped down fast like a blown hydraulic line or something. Did anyone else catch that?

Well done history with high production quality. I have a family connection to Fairchild. During one part of his Army Air Corps career, my Father flew for what was called SNAFU airlines out of New Castle Army Airbase. They had a small fleet of a Boeing 247, a couple of Lockheed Electras, and a Lockheed Lodestar used to ferry Women's Air Service Pilots on a route from New Castle to Farmingdale (Republic), Lock Haven (Piper) and Hagerstown to pick up airplanes and fly them to training bases and dispersal points for shipments overseas. He later ferried some of AT-21s from North Carolina to training bases He retired after 30 years as a Pan Am pilot. I visited this museum today and was most impressed with the docent on duty in mid afternoon. This place greatly deserves your support.

Love it!

Beautieful plane

I remember when GRUMMAN was the same way,Northrup took THAT Away😊

I wonder what will run out of first old prop planes or old prop plane crews

My god, the amount of smoke and fume it generates.

Unbelievable

I don't know for sure what's different between recip engines of the 40's through 70's and the present ones. In the old days those engines didn't blowby for minutes after startup.

A friend of mine was screwing around with a C-97 and got the job to change all the spark plugs in the #3 engine. It helped him to straighten out!

Unloaded the KC-97 moves right on out.

" Na FAB era conhecido com C 91.....

carambas que ganas de contaminar

🇺🇲🫡

Thats when airplane were airplanes ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Holy SMOKE…

The perfect fix for mosquito ridden areas

Was the 119 ever called the flying coffin ?😅

It had no insulation and caused hearing damage to passengers.

Exactly the opposite of the graceful Lockheed Constellation!

If a sperm whale had wings and could fly.

In the late 50's to mid 60,s I used to fly from the Philippines to London and remember these along with super constellations and later the early jets. Used the bunks on these. Total journey time 36 hours with stops in Rome etc. The airports had rest rooms were you could wash and sleep and the stops varied in length depending on what work to the engines were needed!

isn't that smoke a bit excessive? No 3 especially. Doesn't seem to burn off at all.

Nuts of steel to fly that old buggy!

I was a paratrooper that jumped out of these things. Made of Reynolds Wrap....colliding with another jumper on exit ( port and starboard exits at tail) was a regular thing, with lines tangled toger, or one standing on top of the others parachute.

Somewhere is crying alone one Greta Tumberg...

FLew from Schiphol to La Guardia on a KLM Lockheed Constellation, “The Flying Dutchman,” in 1956. I was eight. We stopped over in Shannon and parked next to one of these beauties! I think it was a Pan Am. I will never forget seeing this great airplane!

The C-97 had R-3350s but those nacelles look like they were made for a B-50 with 4360s

Love the start. Please send the video to Greta Thunberg!!!😅

What an ugly exterior.

When I was a kid the sky was filled with prop driven airliners. They use to allow people to walk out on the tarmac with the passengers to board. We'd stand there while the engines warmed up literally within yards of the plane. When they would begin to taxi and turn, the air from the props would blow the skirts of the ladies up over their heads.😂 The pilots took me several times into the cockpit and I got to sit in the co-pilots seat. They would never do that now. Those plans were a sight to behold.

the Wasp Majors made more smoke than other, much older engines.

I used to think that these engines were much like those in the WW2 Boeing B-29 bomber but these are different and doesn't have the same engine sounds like these here as you can see.

Built tough!
