Dakota DC-3 flight Amsterdam to Luebeck July 19 2024 take-off, landing, cockpit views over Amsterdam
Dutch Dakota Association’s PH-PBA was originally C-47A, 42-100971. On June 6, 1944, she dropped paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division over Sainte-Mère-Eglise. Later that same year she would also participate in Market-Garden.
After the war she was the first Dutch Royal Flight aircraft, initially owned and flown by Prince Bernhard, who later sold it to the government for more general use by government officials as well.
Sadly, after 40 years of flying passengers, this will be the Dutch Dakota Association’s last year of operation, due to ever increasing headwinds from all directions, such as rising landing fees, fuel costs, availability of fuel, suitable hangar space, noise restrictions and such.
On July 19, 2024, she flew from Amsterdam to Luebeck, where she would make a number of pleasure flights over the area of the Travemünde Woche nautical event, before returning to Amsterdam on Juli 21.

The Consolidated PBY, also known as Catalina, was designed in the late Thirties and was used extensively in WW 2 in a number of roles. Originally a flying boat, the model 5A was fitted with a retractable tricycle landing gear, to turn it into an amphibian and this proved to be the most successful variant, as well as the most built. For some 15 years the oldest airworthy PBY-5A was flown by the ...

Tive a honra de viajar pela ultima vez no Fokker F-27 em abril de 2002. Saudades! 😢
RIP General 😢
The man,the person,the only living thing that has spent the most time in space, from the birth of the planet til today.That's huge!
One of the most outstanding features of this airplane is the gigantic spar connecting both wings (minute 3:46). This is one of the best features for the Fokker F-27. By the way, another excellent turboprop, the DASH8 is with the same feature, nevertheless the spar assembly isn't noticeable from the inside of the passenger compartment. This makes DASH 8 not so "slick" and aerodynamic. Both are for me the very best in their class.
And that spar was carried over into the F50. I remember on one return flight I nearly bumped my head on it while boarding on both the outbound and inbound flight but I learned my lesson after that 😅

Thank you for uploading this.
Thank you for sharing this - so much nostalgia! As a kid I first gained a love of aircraft and flying living in the Middle East, where we regularly flew on the Oman Aviation F27s, and the pilots always invited me up to the cockpit as a kid. They're what made me want to learn to fly in the first place, and when I was 15 living in Egypt I did get my first flying lessons from Dutch and English friends who shared a Piper Arrow and were both qualified flying instructors.
This brings back super memories of flying from Jersey to Norwich during the school summer holiday to stay with my grandparents.
AMEN 🙏
thanks for posting this
TO THIS 'CLASSIC FLIGHT BLOGGER,' WHAT A "CLASSIC EXPERIENCE WITH DUTCH'S NEWEST FOKKER FRIENDSHIP [KLM]," AND TO Y'ALL, 'DUTCH [RESIDENTS] AND ENGLISH TRANSLATORS, THIS JETPROP FLIGHT COULD BE YOUR GREATESET PASTIME'!!
His passing was a great loss. RIP Al Bean.
I remember the familiar sounds from when I was a boy and miserable flying in them.
I love this aircraft😍
I love how so many people cherish honor, love and miss a crook. "The Moon Landing" = Total LIE. And not one single entity was ever arrested, tried, or shamed for it. Bart Sibrel exposed them all. And they hate that name. And so does People from Australia & U.K. Because HE BUSTED THEIR LYING ASSES. The BBC helps cover lies all the time from WWI & II and the other wars that followed. The TAX payer has been used as deadly pawns and reason to lie to. HUMAN can be motivated to do anything. Especially lie for money. And boy did they.
Bart Sibrel: Do you recall what was it like when you went through the van Alan belts. Alan Bean: No, now I don't. I don't recall but now they hadn't been discovered on our mission yet. My Question to you. Do the (3) Van Alan belts between the Earth & the Moon Come & Go? he answer to that question is no. They never leave and come back. Alan lied.
Lovely plane to fly in. Miss them.
Beautiful view of the propeller, even though most probably find it highly irritating.
To me the whole point of flying in a propliner, be it turbo or piston, is to actually see that prop in action. You will see in my other videos that in the Superconstellation, DC-3, DC-4 and Ju-52 I will always try to be seated near where the action is :-) And in the Catalina there is a superb view of the engines from the blisters.
Never found it irritating. Loved it. Real flying
I’m a leftie, and most of the people I fly with are as well. It’s a weird thing in aviation. There are A LOT of us. Nice to see the poppy.
The good old F27, A great plane to travel in.
We are not "The Shetlands"!. That is like saying "The Englands". It's just Shetland :)
Now you can’t really blame someone from The NetherlandS for that mistake, can you 😉 Honestly, I thought it was a convenient and acceptable abbreviation of Shetland Islands. Thanks for letting me know, I have changed it.
@@leobakkerflightandspace6655 No problem and nice video :) Our true name is Hjaltland ;)
Admiral Ken Mattingly......a real hero.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful flight! There is nothing like the sights and sounds of an F - 27 or an FH227B!! Reminds me of the days when I would fly Britt Airways from Evansville, IN to Chicago O'Hare when they took over the route from Delta Airlines in the early 80's. The sound of the Rolls Royce Dart engines was so unique. I loved the "whistle" sounds, especially during the startup and taxi. I have been to the Netherlands and flown on KLM, a wonderful airline rich in aviation history. I believe NLM was a subsidiary operating "City Hoppers." to feed the KLM hub at AMS. I wish that they could have kept this aircraft airworthy. There is just nothing like it today. Thanks again for the great memories!
Someday, people will recognize the prescience this incredible astronaut, geologist, & thinker had for our being able to practicably solve our planet's energy problems with the mining of Helium 3 from the lunar surface. Kudos, Jack, from an avid viewer of Apollo 17 since it launched when I was 9. If even 1/3 of the mass-delusional 'sky is falling' chicken littles screeching about the urgency of replacing our fossil fuels because of the anthropomorphic cause of our changing climate were truly interested in searching for renewable energies, they'd eagerly discuss Helium 3 as not only a viable option, but support its mining as a compulsory alternative. Unfortunately, you won't often hear those individuals offering input into our obtaining real solutions, because what they desire is power for power's sake. For the rest of us--we're grateful for the Jack Schmitt's of the world.
I understand that this F. 27 Friendship series 100 was also operated by the National Airways Corporation (NAC)/ Air New Zealand.
Yes, that’s correct. As far as I know a total of 25 F.27 aircraft were flown by NAC/ANZ, including some later models.
Yep. As a young child I flew in them a number of times between Auckland and Napier to visit grandparents in the mid-late 1980s. I think they were both F27-100s and F27-500s with some pretty unique lighting inside. I loved them even though back then I didn't understand/apprecite the uniqueness and awesomeness of how they sounded at every stage of the flight - starting up, takiing, takeoff, flight, landing, even shutdown and watching the propellor gracefully slow and stop. This video really took me back - thank you :)
Oh wow turned out this plane was in NZ from 1966 to 1981, as ZK-NAH. I've twice tried to post this with a link to the source but the post keeps disappearing. You may just have to search or it. It was also VH-NLS when it was in Australia and there's another TH-cam video with multiple former pilots in the comments talking about their memories flying her.
Alan Bean was a great man, great Astronaut and great Painter! I enjoy listening to him talking! It is a doggone shame that people would speak negatively about him and Space Program! If people are in doubt about the astronauts going into space and walking on the moon,they should keep their negative thoughts to themselves!

No way! Just a stupid accident, Oops we cant afford a repair. Such a shame 😔
Wat een supergaaf apparaat zeg. Groet, Floris
Sadly, the aircraft has been grounded because Lufthansa pulled the plug on the finances. I made five flights on this aircraft - it's a significant part of German commercial aviation history.
