MALEV Li-2 (Douglas DC-3) FULL FLIGHT | Boarding, Startup, Takeoff, Landing @ Budapest | Trip Report

Subscribe here ➤goo.gl/2tM0Yd Welcome onboard the world's ONLY remaining airworthy Lisunov Li-2, the Soviet licenced Douglas DC-3! Step back in time as we board a historic Ikarus 55 bus, taking us accross Apron 1 at Budapest International Airport, to meet HA-LIX, a Li-2T built in 1949 in Factory 84 in Uzbekistan. Board the airplane with us, find your seat just behind the cockpit, and listen to the Shvetsov ASh-62 radial engines start up! Enjoy a quick taxi to the runway followed by a powerful takeoff taking us overhead river Danube for a sightseeing flight, enjoying a spectacular view of Budapest's main attractions. Listen to the engines spooling down as we start to descend for landing back at Budapest Intl, and enjoy a short cockpit visit before returning to the terminal. Many thanks to Goldimer Foundation and LKK for their great initiative offering such once-in-a-lifetime experience to the general public, and especially to those who appreciate aviation history, even during this difficult times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Li-2 sightseeing flights usually depart from Budaörs airport, however due to the low traffic situation at Budapest, LHBP was used this time instead.

Sziasztok mindenkinek, köszönöm, hogy itt vagytok. Nagyon izgatott vagyok a videó megjelenése miatt ezen a pénteken!

Ugye nem mondod, hogy tudsz magyarul? :D Mert ha igen akkor évekig tévhitben éltem :O Túl magyarosan mondtad a jónapot kívánokot!!

[@bombaytaxidriver]

What a great concept! The retro bus to the Li-2 (which looks immaculately restored and so beautiful)! I shall definitely have to do this when I (eventually) make my trip to see Budapest. Nicely captured and filmed matey! Cheers,

[@greatflyer_aviation]

Great concept indeed, instead of having the aircraft sit in a museum all day! A great idea to allow any aviation enthusiast to book a flight. Thank you for your kind words Chris, please do stay tuned for more as I am planning to film a similar sightseeing flight in a Smartwings 737-800!

It's sad there are hardly any IL-14's left flying, I'd love a flight in one of those!
