Came back to listen to this with headphones! Wow!
The classic lines of yesteryear. The modern engines of today. The glass cockpit of tomorrow, all in one gorgeous package
DC-3 then, DC-3 now, DC-3 forever!

Douglas Racer! C-GVKB - Happy 80th Birthday!

OMG! What a fantastic catch and video! Double thumbs up, my friend!!!!

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks!

[@BeckerAviation]

Simply spectacular!

Fantstic

[@indridcold8433]

Listen to that turbo howl!

[@wesnelson8709]

Love the DC-3 but it loses a little bit without the round engines. They did, however, leave the original hydraulics so that the gear retracts one at a time, the origin of the nickname "Gooney Bird." Thx for the vid.

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Thanks for watching. And I do like the old piston engine DC-3s way more than the Basler Turbine DC-3's

[@samanli-tw3id]

Beter than being scrapped

[@andrewdonohue1853]

@@VMCAviationVideos it has it's place. it's probably easier to maintain, has shorter take-off rolls, and a higher rate of climb. i guess those would the advantages. maybe a greater load carrying ability? the taildragger configuration cannot be beat for some applications.

Magnificent plane ❤️✈️

Boy this is like watching paint dry!

Long hand mathematics and slide rules designed this perfect aircraft.

[@wyrtwister4260]

How does the operating cost compare , radial vs. turbine ?
Thanks , :-)
Wyr
God bless

[@VMCAviationVideos]

I have no idea 😞

[@samanli-tw3id]

Turbines need less maintainance so the latter must be cheaper

[@stevenwagner9912]

I would guess that the supply of radicals and parts dwindles every day so that will factor in.

[@mathewmcgill6266]

Here's what maybe a strange or stupid question. I notice before the aircraft started gaining speed, it appears the engines are pointed forward where as the body of the aircraft is pointed upward. When the aircraft is leveling off to take off, do the engines also tilt? Otherwise it appears if it stayed in the same configuration, the props wold be pointed downward. However, looking at it while taking off, the props are pointed forward with the body of the aircraft. Or am I mistaken?

[@VMCAviationVideos]

I know for sure, there is no "tilting" of the engines

[@michaeltoellner2218]

I think its like that so when you throttle up your attitude and altitude stay the same instead of going nose up/gaining altitude

[@ratherbefishing4225]

I can see what you mean, the engines appear to be tilted downward compared to the fuselage, but that’s just the design of the cowling. They are mounted in a fixed position and don’t tilt.

[@stevenwagner9912]

More of an optical illusion is my guess. The paint sceme can make it look different as the angle and distance changes.

[@millicentsquirrelhole582]

Joe McBride, owner of Buffalo Airways, in an Ice Pilots episode, expressed interest in buying a DC3 Basler...no better recommendation than that...eh?

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Buffalo won't get any Basler 3's, too much money to cough up for a Basler.

[@goatdocfilms504]

@@VMCAviationVideos Buffalo Currently leases 2 baslers from Kenn Borek. and Mikey said on an episode of plane savers recently that Yes Buffalo is Buying 1 maybe 2 baslers

amazing how right theygot it in 30+ years ago and only slipsticks for calculations!

[@alexandermckay8594]

30? Try 85.

[@trav1971]

So quiet omg

[@VMCAviationVideos]

Haha, yes I agree

[@ericfermin8347]

Very ugly airplane with those engines. Throwing mud on a beauty.

[@maskedavenger2578]

This is a fake clone with budget Chinese built engines . The proper ones have P& W radial piston engines .
