The Curtiss C 46 (Largest of these 3, "The Tinker Belle") was called the "Commando" (not sure if that was official). The Douglas C 47 (2nd largest ,"W7") was the military version of the DC 3 and was designated "Dakota" by the British RAF. The Beech C 45 had a few other designations but if it was in Marine service like the one in this video it would have had a U.S. Navy aircraft designation SNB, not the Army C-45 designation.
Very safe aircraft. It can glide and land several miles away from the airport in case both the engine fails. I have experienced the jolt in 1978 and landed safely on airbase. Usually called Dakota.
Seeing the "Curtiss tail" at that scale is really quite a sight, I'm sure it could tack with a cross-wind along side herds of B-17 for taxiing purposes to save a bit of fuel, that is until a B-36 came along to stop the atmosphere altogether.
An excellent example of how extremely dumb it is to play music on air shows. People come there for the engine sound, everything else is complete bullshit.
My favorite is the Curtiss C-46 for sure! Such a monster of a plane! Beautiful aircraft altogether.

That C-46 looks brand new.
The C-46 "Tinker Belle" is owned by Monroe, NC, and housed at the Charlotte Monroe Executive Airport.
Nothing like the sound of round !!

Flew a C-46 out of Anchorage!! A year before the Big Quake!
That was some serious ground shaking.
these were all familiar sights when I was growing up in the 40s and 50s, in the fifties Northeast Airlines out of Bangor Maine operated DC-3s
Tinker Belle is so cute.Finally got to ride on That’s All Brother yesterday.
And just to think, Basler owned 'That's All Brother' and it was very nearly turned into a Turbo BT-67, except for a phone call from USAF.
Que elegancia de aviones, soy piloto de DC3, una madre de aeronave. Dios los premie.
1:50 nice roar

Nice. I saw the same C46 in Reading last year.
They needed a Cessna “Bamboo Bomber” to make a quartet of these radial engined relics.
C-45 should be back in action 2023
Formidable Radial Engine Aircraft of the time 💪✈️✈️🌠💫
nice sound 6:45
Even though the C-45's tail gear is retractable, it is in the extended position.
I like it!!!
awesome sound at 4:13
It would be more awesome if they didn't play their music so loud there. People go to airshows to hear engine noise, not music!!!
horsemoney in it
Good Sound :) 4:20
Too bad they think they need to play music.
Los mejores aviones que vole
Magnifique,!!!!!
Эх
