- November 9, 2006. Atlantic Air Cargo' Inc. (AAC) at Opa locka Florida is run by the brothers Castrillo. Ernesto (President) and Julio (Vice President). Here you can see their DC-3 the N437GB being prepared for a flight to the Bahamas Including loading and take off.
N437GB ditched to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean while on approach to Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS/MYNN), Nassau, Bahamas Friday 13 years later, October 18, 2019.
The pilot reported that the left engine failed approximately 25-30 nautical miles from Nassau Bahamas. During single engine operation, the aircraft performance was not optimal and the flight was not able to reach Nassau Airport. The decision was made to land the aircraft in the ocean. The airplane submerged and the two pilots onboard were not injured during the incident.
I have to thank the Castrillo brothers for helping me make this video.
C- 47 / DC- 3 What a piece of history. Still at work . 👍
On the 18th October 2019, at approximately 4:30 PM local time, a Douglas DC-3C aircraft, registration N437GB crashed in the ocean; at coordinates 25°05.55N 077°30.29W, approximately 2.87miles from Runway 14 at the Lynden Pindling International Airport (MYNN) Nassau, Bahamas. No fatalities were reported.
Rip N437GB. Ditched in ocean on the way to Nassau when left engine failed. Aircraft lost both pilots survived 2019.

As a highly experienced DC-3 pilot from the 1970s, I can see several things about this one. First, it has Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engines instead of the 9 cylinder Wrights, it has a one piece windscreen instead of the 2 piece as most DC-3s had, this one does not have weather radar, as mine did. Also, no deicing boots on the props for the optional anti ice isopropyl alcohol sprayers. Also, there are no deicing boots on the wings and tail. The minimum oil quantity for dispatch was 20 gallons with a max oil quantity of 33 gallons per engine. Just sayin'...
Good point sir, love it !

Just saying? There is no need for exaltation or modesty; aviation has always been an activity and a profession of notoriety. Very good video excellent article congratulations 👍
What a joy to watch!! She's both beautiful and cool at the same time! Then I read below the video that she ditched in the ocean in 2019... such a sad fate! :(
Fantastic documentary of the DC3 at work. Would have loved to work with them. Truly an example of something designed and built to last. Thank you for sharing!
Being an ex C-47 Engineer 40 years ago watching that brought back many happy memories.
Did you check my other video? To Miraflores?
@Alex Waning APVW Aviation Videos. No I haven't I will have to see it.
And there, my friends, is a proper aeroplane!
The DC-3 or C-54 is still in service in some parts of thew world. The square window series used to be the one that transport the executive and leaders of some country after WW-II. It was served as a gunships during Vietnam war and paratrooper transport plane for a long time until it was replaced by C-130.
Thank you, for your very important, historic and interesrting information, abaut famoust DC-3. Sincerly, Edgar H. Ayala C. Quito-Ecuador- Sud- America
DC 3 or C 47.
Waouuh !
Une pièce de musée tjs en activité.Tellement beau cet avion.👍👍❤️
These old airplanes just fascinate me. They are such basic, but nevertheless reliable, wonderful machines. I once had the pleasure of flying in one on a flight from Boston's Logan Airport to Provincetown, en route to Cape Cod. I believe it was Provincetown Airways, which also had flights to Florida. The seats were covered in that wonderful wool fabric (no leather or vinyl) and of course, one had to board near the tail and hold on to the seat backs to make it to the front near the cabin. To be expected, it's nearly impossible to carry on a conversation while in flight, because of engine and wind noise. All in all, it was the experience of a lifetime, and I am thankful for it.
The DC-3 will be the first commercial aircraft to make money for its owners after a century in use.
Let's see if these modern jets last as long as this old girl ✈️❤️
My Father flew the C-47 out of Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn.
Great video of a great aircraft.Hope none of the cargo was fragile , those loaders were brutal
I live 5 miles South, right off Red Road & always come out when i hear them Fly over on their approach to Opa Locka . What a treat .
That must really be something to see. They have operated several old prop transports out of Opa Locka A/P for several years flying freight to the Caribbean Islands. I’m north of 71 and lived for several years across the street from an Air Force base. This was back in the day when MATS was still operating many propeller transport aircraft. It’s always a treat to see one of these old girls in operation.
They are still working! That is a good airplane

That was a sweet video of a D-3 work horse. Eventually they will all have turbo props and the radial engine will be sold to aircraft in need. A radial engine is like an old school Harley Davidson twin. Always tweaking them and they run like a bad out of hell 😊❣️❣️❣️

Que belleza x fa !! Dsd BsAs
ist ja fast so, als wenn man einen dino zum leben erwecken wolle
I believe this plane used to be parked by the street (Langley) at Opa Locka.
37thCt was closer.
Hermoso el C-47
Aviones hermosos, rústicos y funcionales,para verdaderos pilotos
Beautiful old warrior.✈️❤️
EU, já tenho medo dos aviões modernos, imagine dessa "LATA VELHA" ARCAICA!
Flew in those as a kid in the 50s. Pacific island hopping.
Grandfa watching over you from Philippines...
Y después uno se pregunta porque llega la mercaderia rota, ahi tienen la respuesta, volean las cajas como si estuvieran vacías
Linda relíquia
I wonder if millennial aircraft will last as long?
You only have to look at my video of the Opa Locka scrapyard.
I enjoy your fantastic footage of many beautiful planes. I love these video's. En dan ook nog vanuit Nederland. :)
Vooral van de oudere toestellen die tegenwoordig meestal alleen in musea te vinden zijn.
I love the DC3 aircraft, in all its forms the wolds first passenger airline!
If airplanes could be patriots, this one would lead the pack. I always have the urge to salute when I see one.
I LOVE DC-3’s! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me too!
Fantastic!!!!!!
Scary. Opa Locka is where planes go to die. Loading by hand saves a lot of weight.
I miss the old Opalocka, it looks totally different now.
Sure, many of us propfans do.
Que manera de tratar la mercancia🤦♂️
Супер, молодцы что поддерживают и продолжают работать на таком замечательном самолёте. У нас в России не умеют и нет средств содержать историю наших предков. Удачи вам, и хорошего неба.
Когда я посетил российские аэропорты в бывшей ГДР, они были в восторге от моего интереса. Моей жене и детям тогда разрешили летать на Ми-8, чтобы сбрасывать десантников.
@@APVW-aviation-videos Посмотрите ролики про судьбу самолёта Ил-14 и его Спасителя , с надписью на самолёте "СОВЕТСКИЙ СОЮЗ", трогательная судьба человека и самолёта, поймете суть. Спасибо за общение.
I grew up in Hialeah. I have been going to OPA since the 1970's to see planes. I have never been disappointed. They always seem to have vintage airplanes. Just the other day they had some Antonov 12 that were been dismantled.
The Russians were no success
A very nice aircraft for skydiving.....
The same aircraft was used for paratroopers in WW2

Still earning her keep after all this time.....

Esses aviões foram considerados aqui como as asas da Amazônia
Thanks.... good work!
Good video.
WHY,WHAT SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE DETERMINED THE BIRD'S STANDING AT A GENTLE ANGLE TO THE GROUND??🤔🤔🤔🙃🙃🙃
Hermozos ese avión Douglas DC 3.cada ves lo veo me recuerda la película casa blanca.y la ruta de transporte sobre el himalaya.y la batalla de normandy.
I was extremely lucky to see these types of planes fly daily out of Perris Valley Airport in so Cal. I even witnesses one burn on the runway with jumpers exiting it as it was burning...
Amo los DC3
The work horse of the skies.bbuilt un 1935.first flew in diciembre 20 1935.
still flying after all these years...
Not anymore now. :-(
Doesn't the CG get shifted with all those loose packages?
As long as everything is fixed with a net no problem
@@APVW-aviation-videos I remember the 747 falling in Afganistan when a jeep got loose on take off and went all the way back of the cargo bay raising the nose of the Jumbo and stalling it.

That's a c47

Cocaíne ohhhh
No way!
What an Awesome aircraft and workhorse!! I love those old historic aircraft! So sorry you had to put it down in the ocean, I hope you were able to salvage her and get her flying again!!!!
No, it was written of. Sad end of a beautiful aircraft!
I was a fuel tech (ramp rat) in the early 70s at Opa locka airport (Hangar One) loved to hear the DC3 crank up, wasn't to happy when we had to roll a 55 gal drum on a dolly out and hand pump oil into the engines. Anybody remember the old Lockheed Constellation ("Connie") that was parked there for years and years it was funded mainly Howard Hughes
N1007C Lockheed L-1049H Super Constellation was at Opa in the 80's. Scrapped in 1987.
@@APVW-aviation-videos
It was for sale for many years for $1.00 just had to remove it and someone finally bought it to turn to a restaurant. I saw it (fuselage only) going down 135th St on trailers but restaurant deal fell apart and like you said was scraped. Thanks for the reply.
Old on DC3.
I thought square windows caused cracking in their corners and were discontinued after causing crashes, although, I don't think these planes were pressurized.
That only happened to the first British Comets. Later more aircraft became square windows without causing problems. The DC-3 had no pressurized cabin.
No. These planes are not pressurized.
El DC 3 para mí es como una joya dentro de la aviación y es una leyenda ya en la industria misma de la aviación,y esperaría yo q nunca lo dejen morir porque no abra un avión como ese
Es el Ford A de los aviones. Los he visto volar con un motor en bandera ( con un motor apagado) como si tal cosa.
