This is Dan. I flew this flight at OSH 2017 and it was not during airshow. It was just one morning when it was kind of quiet and GA arrivals were on Runway 27 so runway 18 wasn't getting used for much. I asked for left circuits on 18 and it was approved, there is nothing insane about the flying. I fly this plane from the right seat so simple circuits on a very long 18 were not a problem. The turn in looks a bit sharper than it really was, but this was at ATC (tower) request in order to keep us well south of GA arrivals flying right downwind for 27. I don't fly this aircraft, I am one with it, and I sense each and every sound and vibration as it happens. It is a very harmonious method of flying gracefully and there was no high G, aerobatic, or dangerous aspect of this flight. This was very simple graceful flight operating the craft exactly the way Mr. Douglas designed it to be operated. Thank you for your comments. I will be happy to answer any further questions. Dan Gryder
Beautiful. I remember them so well as kid in South Africa. Treated myself to a 50th birthday present to fly on a local DC3 here in Sydney, Australia 10 ten ago. Sensational!
Yes the man behind the controls does know what he is doing. I spent over 20yrs in a DC-3 spraying in South Carolina at tree top levels. And I do miss it. Great show!
Great, great, great video !! Thanks so much for sharing this incredible performance. Such a classic, iconic aircraft, with those song-bird radials, combined with amazing skills by the pilot. Loved it !!
I have given up airshows. I do not want a pilot to give up his life to entertain me. Yes, the crowd will roar and want more excitement to fill their desire to be entertained. There is never enough you see. A pilots life is worth so much more than the entertainment of selfish wishes.
My father made two one wheel landings during a thirty year career of flying DC-3's and C-47's. (they were landings due to damage to the plane during hazardous flying when an attempt to shoot it down resulted in damage to one engine). He said, "this damn plane can get through nearly everything. It may come in on its last leg, but, by God, it WILL come in"!
The magic of Oshkosh. The person taking video was in front of the homebuilt HQ. Same place there is a nice park bench for sitting and not far away a big soft ice cream stand. Everyday at lunch I would buy a big soft ice cream and sit at the bench watching the planes landing. This day I was treated to not only ice cream but Dan Gryder doing low flyby's in his DC3.
Gave me a lump in the throat to see such flying expertise, albeit no margin of error. Watching absolutely puts one in that pilot's skin. He or she must have personally sensed the ground effect through real empathy with the plane.
If the flight dynamics in MS flight sim are in anyway legitimate...low passes are not much to speak of...the DC-3 hates to land, lol. (DC-6 also)...bring her in at speed and she'll do passes all day no problem...you damn near Have to force it to go low...she wants up in the sky, thank you ;)
Boa noite !!!! Nunca me canso de assistir esse vídeo. Bom demais...... O barulho desses motores é fantástico. O melhor Avião da história. Sem dúvidas...... Obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil......
Agreed. Any operator one with their machine is a beautiful union, even if it is just a lowly automobile, or a diesel generator. Not many join deeply with a machine in a way that there is a, dep devotion to it and they know it so well. When we see an old man with just a 1976 Cordoba many think it is just an old man that bought an old car. But if the old man has had that Cordoba from when it was new, that is almost a mystical bond. What about a person that salvaged and has rebuilt the engines of an old boat 30 years ago and still has it running like new. That is much more than an owner and his machine. That is a person one with his boat and he knows every screw and bolt on it.
This video is great for those who dont recgonize the difference in sound between an opposed engine and a radial engine. Opposed engines are lighter sounding, putterier, and sharper. Radials are smoother, deeper and heavier sounding. They rumble, and have a nice rythym from the camring & counterweight rotation. And the ones that have roller valve tappets have the smoothest sound of all. Best heard on a proper surround sound system. Or, better yet, in person. :)
In New Zealand, the company Fieldair used DC3s for aerial top dressing or crop dusting as it is known in USA. It worked until high avgas (aviation fuel) prices made their use uneconomic. There was even talk of converting them to LPG, but I don't know if any aircraft were
Did you notice the pilot was so in tune with his aircraft that there was no oscillation at all? I have seen low passes with so much pilot induced oscillation that you would think the pilot was going to oscillate into the ground, nose first.
You can and in some cases must land with one wheel in a cross wind situation. In this case, the wing is lowered towards the direction from which the wind is coming.
Wow! The pilot must have been born in the back of thst DC-3 and was playing at the controls at one year of age. He probably first flew it at ten years of age and by 15 years of age he was flying solo.
That is called the beginnings of a planegasm. If you were inside the plane, you would have gone full air-climax. If you were in the cockpit, multiple engine planegasms with violent pilot induced oscillation.
Old metal is fatigued metal. A one wheel landing puts incredible stress on landing gear and air frame. You get away with it today probably not tomorrow.
There are old pilots,and bold pilots,but there are no Old Bold pilots. Flies well and the DC-3 us a magnificent plane a monument to American 🏈 aviation. A Marilyn Monroe that won't die.
Rotary engines actually rotate with the propeller. Radial engines are so named after the fact that the cylinders are racially placed but the propeller rotates on a crank shaft drive, the cylinders remain stationary. 1st we Sopwith Camel for example was rotary engined. Created a sharp turn to port due to torque.
Yeah, that was one hell of a lurch for a low speed touchdown onto a 'free' wheel, but it does look like any toes that MAY have been involved - backed off PDQ!
Left wheel had to suddenly accelerate from a static condition. The sudden weight put on that wheel when lowered was greater than a normal landing when the wheels can tickle the runway and accelerate more slowly. A DC3 can be made to land so gently that the passengers don't know exactly when touch down occurs.
Si quelqu'un peut m'expliquer pourquoi ce bruit, ce son me met dans des états pareils, je lui paye une bière ! j'en peux plus de ce son ! surtout quand il s'éloigne ! terrible !
Ce bruit est typique du DC-3, tant a l'interieur qu'a l'exterieur. Les moteurs Pratt & Whitney, Modele-1850, je crois, sont, evidemment, a plein regime au decollage et durant la montee.
is not any properly done xwind landing a one wheeled landing. i routinely do one wheeled passes down the runway in my luscombe purely to show off and the fact is it is much easier to steer on one wheel than on two! anybody who is awed by a one wheel pass in a taildragger probably has little or no time flying one.
Another clickbait? No, I Guess the PIC pushed the structural limits next to the red líne. Old aircraft should be preserved from crashing ( you know the saying" there aren't old bold pilots " ) . High "G'" manoeuvres should be avoided at all cost.
@Astircalix…..what video were you watching? While I generally agree with your sentiments regarding preservation of classic aircraft, there were no high loads imposed on the airframe in these flybys.
@@raycoleman3183 I partially agree with you. At some point, it appears that the structure will not be damaged. But let's not forget that this old plane is as old as most of the surviving WWII pilots who still walk around. What I meant was to take care of the old DC 3´s / C47´s as we take care of its veteran pilots. Cheers from Argentina!
@@astircalix4126 you people keep saying there are old pilots and bold pilots but this pilot is both 💀💀 the fact the dude is in his 60s ruins your whole argument. Dan gryder is a calculated and careful pilot with great skill. I'd stop armchair quarterbacking
@@Gamerboy-gy1rl I'm not a wheelchair quarterback. I am a former Flight Safety Officer and Aircraft Accident Investigator. Now, back to the problem you pointed out: I'm not talking about Dan Gryder's aeronautical prowess; on the other hand, I think that old planes should be handled differently so that they are preserved for the next generations. I assume you conflate both arguments.
a wing low one wheel landing is a standard in the tail dragger pilots bag of tricks for cross wind landings.. not so much awesome as basic competence and mastery of the aircraft. .
Joe Schmoe You miss the the point and your stupid. He's doing this with no crosswind and you say it's a standard maneuver for a taildragger? The maneuver is called crabbing and it has NOTHING to do with his plane being a taildragger. You and Larry should just stfu and stick to licking windows and eating crayons.
Zac vaper "Crabbing" and "Xwind landings" are two different maneuvers entirely. You never "crab" on final into a landing. If you have ever sat in the left seat you would know that you side slip into a landing and plant the upwind main gear first. This is the proper procedure in everything from a 172 on up. If you were taught to "crab" on final and then try to straighten it out in the flare before your wheels touch, go find your instructor and punch them in the throat. You're going to have an accident doing it that way. Make sure you know what you are talking about before you start calling others stupid. This post may save your life one day. I suggest you go find a flight instructor and ask them to teach you how to do it properly. Cheers :-D.
Joe Schmoe, There's no "two different maneuvers" when landing in a heavy crosswind; you crab and land on one wheel first. Now you go back to licking windows and eating your crayons, before you hurt your little brain.

Fantastic flying Sir !!
Beautiful airplane and awesome flying! How close was that plane to you at 2:37?
Poetry in motion!
You'd probably be the best one to ask, what causes that slight "whistling" sound that can be heard in the flyby?
Is this the aircraft you tried to run over the police in or was it another airframe?
One of the greatest aircrafts ever built. the DC-3's length of service says it all.
And it has replaced almost all of the DC-3 replacements!
... "The" ....
The most beautiful,aircraft ever made.
SECOND ONLY TO THE SPITFIRE.
@@tomingle683 And the Mustang. And The Constellation, And The Grumman Tiger I had, LOL.. And I flew DC3's for 344 hours..

You are a great pilot.. They dont maneuver well. Heavy controls..
the DC 3 is pure wings, still great looking after so many years
They age like Plutonium 239.
Plutonium 239 half-life = 24,100 years.
The best most graceful plane ever built,and still being used in some parts of the world
Lindas rasantes! Excelente piloto.
Still looks modern, still earning a living too !.
And oh......that sound ❤
What an outstanding example. I'd take a trip on the plane any day. Thanks for Not adding music. This is great stuff.
Well done, Sir, what an amazing piece of machinery and what a skillful pilot, indeed

Beutiful plane the best these old birds were really something powerful well built great design very nice thank you
Reminds me of Lunken Airport in Cincinnati.
Love the sound of that engine.
Reminds me of Willow Run airport, SE Michigan. Also, the sound in the sky of my childhood.

You just can't beat the sound of a radial, well, except for maybe a Merlin during a high speed pass.
@@robobloxgamer524 there are many legendary engines around, all special in their own way.
That plane is so lovable I just want to hug it.
That pilot knows his machine.
who wants to fly with a pilot who doesn't ? !!

That's Dan Gryder an aviation safety oriented you tuber.
Wow! That one wheel landing was awesome.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Absolutely beautiful.....pure music....
Not only is the DC-3 one of the greatest planes ever made in the history of aviation, it's also one of the coolest-looking!
When you ask a kiddo to draw a plane ... they draw a DC-3 !
Beautiful noise love the sound of a radial fantastic pilot with balls!!!
I love the DC-3.

...? One-wheel landing? Who even does this, and why?! Amazing video.
I miss my childhood seeing the DC-3 passing over my home in São Paulo-Brasil, in the 60's!
There’s nothing greater than a DC-3. Props to the pilot also. Skilz.
Love the DC-3
#1 on my bucket list is to sit left seat in one if it’s only for one flight
I almost got a chance to fly one of these...I SO wanted to do it!
Great plane, excellent video and good work.

One of the best drug smuggling aircraft ever built . Thanks for this great video .
I'm thinking that's Dan from the Probable Cause channel
Amazing ! D-3...best design ever.
This is N143D based at Griffin , Ga. One of the oldest DC-3's still flying. Formally painted in the Herpa scheme
A beautiful airplane.....
Great example of the ground effect
Did you notice the pilot was so in tune with his aircraft that there was no oscillation at all? I have seen low passes with so much pilot induced oscillation that you would think the pilot was going to oscillate into the ground, nose first.
I was licensed engineer on Dc3. Best ever built. Can check flight record.
I still can't believe that I got my ATP in the DC-3 (at Bassler) and have over 3,000hrs in it PIC/SIC.
such a cool pilot!
You can and in some cases must land with one wheel in a cross wind situation. In this case, the wing is lowered towards the direction from which the wind is coming.
Ok, that one wheel drag was pretty freakin' impressive.
you should see him drag the tail wheel..awesome!
Can you provide a link? I'd love to see that.

It’s a shame that someone thought it was a good idea to put a website on an antique masterpiece.

BRILLIANT FLYING
excellent cross wind technique
What a pilot-makes yr toes tingle
That is called the beginnings of a planegasm. If you were inside the plane, you would have gone full air-climax. If you were in the cockpit, multiple engine planegasms with violent pilot induced oscillation.

Near collision at 02:36.. WTF is that Cherokee doing there in the middle of a performance???
thats both dangerous and a farce- serious collision avoided that would of been messy
It’s Oshkosh and not a performance. He is just doing low passes during the normal operations
@@iflyc77 - WTF. That was a Near Hit..
@@feetgoaroundfullflapsC not sure if you're joking or not. He was landing on the parallel runway. Not a big deal
@@iflyc77 . Maybe it looks closer than real. But If that cherokee overshoots the runway by a few hundred feet. Its looks bad anyway.
The side stresses on that starboard main gear ! Smoke from smooth port main wheel touch down looks like brake applied ?
Yeah, that was one hell of a lurch for a low speed touchdown onto a 'free' wheel, but it does look like any toes that MAY have been involved - backed off PDQ!

The sudden weight put on that wheel when lowered was greater than a normal landing when the wheels can tickle the runway and accelerate more slowly.
