One of my favorite aircraft to travel in; back in the day regional carriers flew many of them in the congested USA East Coast airspace. Then many major airports had an older, shorter general aviation runway; the Dash-7 could "jump the queue" using that runway to avoid air traffic control delays at peak hours.
I was living near Denver Colorado as a young lad when Rocky Mountain Airways inaugurated the world's first DHC-7 service in early 1978. I was a budding AvGeek and not knowing at the time what they were, their Twin Otters would be flying high over the house, coming in over the Front Range about 20 miles out from Stapleton. Eventually I found out what they were. Somewhat surprisingly to me, I've never flown in a DHC-6 or DHC-7...only a scant few DHC-8 flights. I'd really like to rectify the DHC-7 shortage by getting up to Canada and flying aboard this service.
Had the pleasure flying on many Dash-7's with Air Niugini in PNG years ago and then on the Dash 8's as they phased them in. Again the STOL capability was perfect for many of the remote grass strips in PNG, especially in the mountainous highlands region where the plane or chopper are the only way in. Always interesting cargo too, pigs, chickens, drums of fuel, vegetables. Great scenic country to fly in especially in the highlands were a lot of flight is just above the jungle canopy or through mountain ranges. Great workhorse plane, just a little before modern sound proofing, ear plugs come in handy!
True I agree. Air Niugini use to use these aircrafts and now move to Dash 8 aircrafts and jet engine Forker 100. It's good learn where the old dash 7s are used now
I flew the Dash 7 for a few hundred hours as First Officer up in Alaska during late 1980s. It was great watching these guys work! It’s a cool plane, for sure.
Great presentation of Air Tindi and the fantastic and underrated Dash 7 ! Enjoyed this short clip of our exceptional Canadian crews who really work hard !
the red Dash-7´s from 14:57 looks like ex Airgreenland birds, red colour and the white dots on the tail was the livery of Airgreenlands Dash-7´s, flown these quite a bit since childhood as a passenger, a few flights in some pretty memorable weather during winter from Nuuk (GOH) to Kangerlussuaq (SJF), flights here now operated by DASH-8-200´s.
I start going to work in Convairs in 80 (what a bad ass machines), Since 2000 we have nice dash 8 Q 400 a high performance prop airlplanes. I know that those dash 7 are the grand pa off those famous dashs. I saw the government red Dash 7 in Radison and they were parking it in a corner way from view. What a bad idea to hide a so beautiful airplane. I discover that those dash 7 can be run with two pilots. I thouth that they were tree, no mécanic needed its a nice inprouvement.
WOW WOW WOW! the shadow Gods were with you on these flights! spectacular footage, beautiful shadow silhouettes right under the landing gear and just outside cockpit on approaches! are you kidding?? you couldn't have planned it better! Agreed one of the best yet!!!!
nice Comment Dale, im always happy if someone likes my work. feedback like this or suggestions for improvements gives me this motivation to continue making this videos. Greetings from Patrick
Nice to see C-GUAT (the former OY-CBT.). Had some great years working with this Dash7 in BGSF (Søndre Strømfjord, Kangerlussuaq, Sondy air base.) as a former employee in Greenlandair. Those were some great times, these Dash7´s are truly amazing airplanes.
Your welcome. Handling, loading/offloading, start up, groundpower etc.Was a fantastic job, worked around the S61, the dash7, Dash6, dc-10 and later the 767 all that on the apron at BGSF. one of the best places on this planet, the scenery is awesome on the worlds biggest island. Regarding the Dash7, very few are still in action these days. Imo, its one of the best STOl airplanes around, and they sure looks good.@@AirClipscom
I bet Dash 7 is the best STOL in the world! 👍 The low pitched engine sound from the low propeller RPM is very attractive. 21:10 - It looks like a pivot turn on a tank. I wonder how much the steering angle of the nose gear rotates.
Wow! They weren't overstating things when they say STOL. That thing felt like it landed on the head of a pin. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating but damned impressive aeroplane. Did get a little whisper of concern at 7:14 when the number 4 engine started puffing out some "smoke".
Had two wonderful years flying the Dash in and out of London City when it had a shorter runway. Have a lot of respect for a machine I could put down anywhere. Recommended technique in crosswinds was wing down approach and landing, not crabbing in and kicking off drift. Such slow approach speeds, I began one with the runway in the F/Os side window! Having four PT6’s was very reassuring! Great aeroplane.
That sound like some really nice experinces you gathered :) Really nice to hear that professional information about the Dash 7 from you. Even thoug I am not a pilot it was also interesting for me reading your comment. For waht airline did you fly ?
Saw -7 land at a glider strip at Issaquah, WA. Came in and stopped mid-strip… 10 folks climbed out and looked around at the sailplanes. Back on board, started up and took off from where they stopped.!
I worked at a small general aviation airport back in the 80's and one day we were all shocked when one of these landed at the airport. It looked huge on the 60' wide runway. It appeared to be some kind of a training flight because it exited the runway, taxied back and took off again without stopping. I'm sure it was relatively light but still it got off the ground very quickly.
From what I've read, there's never been a plane before or since that can carry that much while having a crazy low stall speed, and able to land & take off from such short runways. It can also spin on its axis and take off on the runway it landed on. On top of that it's pressurized and is the only 48 pax plane to service Lukla airport.
Nice aircraft. To me it seems as easy to fly as a equivalent turbotwin like the Dash-8 or a Fokker-50 Nice camera setup as well, although during startup i could not monitor the fuel flow. However for the second flight i noticed a overtemp on No-4 at startup (within time and temp limmits though). I really liked all these camera's giving a real good impressing of operating the aircraft. Also the excelent audio helped a lot ! A descent crew completes the picture, althogether an excelent video !
thanks for the Comment Pascal, nice that you liked my setup. Im always adjusting it but on some planes its hard to hit the right camera angel, so you can see everything
I noticed a fair amount of "smoke" from #4 engine at start up. It cleared though. Yet comment here from: Pascale Coole, expertly noticed overtemp at startup also. Great video adventure in a magnificent aircraft!
I loved my flight on the dash-7! The props are smaller and the high wing makes visibility better. I took it from Vancouver to Kamloops on a nice day. Beautiful scenery and a very nice ride. Later on that trip i was in dash-8's. The props are longer and found them noisier and they seemed to move more. Just my impression.
Well I think you got a point there the dash-7 has a much more smoother concept than the dash-8. When I remember correctly the dash-8 was designed to transport even more weight
Flew in Dash 7's from Pt Moresby into Kiunga and then up to Tabubil in PNG, back in the mid 80's. Air Niugini had 2 Dash 7's dedicated to this mining construction project and the trip over the mountain to Tabubil, often required a low level flight along the Ok Tedi River gorge, weather changed rapidly and we often had delays or turn backs due to cloud, The 2 Dash 7's were flown from Canada and they were great to fly in.
I was flying 3 times on the Dash-7 from Beryaja in Malaysia to Tioman. The flight from Subang to Tioman was the best of my life. Due to not good wind conditions we made several go arounds and 2 times we diverted for refuling to Johor Bahru. In the end we went back to Subang. On the next day was a separate flight organized to fly us to Tioman and this time we landed with the first try. It was awsome to have one day just flying the Dash 7.
sounds like you got lucky and were able to experience somer long flights on the Dash 7. Even if your flight plan didn't work out it sounded like you had fun :)
@@AirClipscom I was really lucky on that day. They always tried 3-4 times to land, but due to the special runway on Tioman the limits for tail wind were always exeeded and it was quit bumpy on final. I think in total we were 8 or 9 hours on that trip. For this unique experiance it was ok, that my vacation on Tioman was one day shorter. Unfortunately those flight not exist anymore.
Arkia Israel Airlines used to have these beautiful aircraft on their domestic routes from Tel Aviv down to Eilat and Yotvata, and it was a pleasure to ride on them. Yotvata was a very short runway of about 4500 feet. Did it also in very hot weather.
I work in a small airport in Nairobi kenya(wilson airport) we have two of these used to take tourist to safari’s where they land in small unpaved strips
The ROAR at 31:01, what is thát, I would like to know, because it was the sound of my childhood, living next to Kastrup airport, where Maersk Air operated the Dash 7, love(d) that plane, and not the least thát sound....;- )

Beautiful shoot. You're bringing back good ghosts AC. Loved flying with Tindi to our 💎mine that we nicknamed (Stalag-Luft Zero).....checked to see that 18 DHC-7s are still in active service out of the 113 built. Prost!🍻
Stupid question... Why do you start engine's with full pitch on blades... doesn't that stress blade/engine more than if you started them in zero pitch?

Must be a joy to have a ''handfull of throttles'' .
Flew the King Air 200 for many hours. Always wanted to fly the Dash 7’s and 8’s. Will never realize that dream. Amazing aircraft!
maybe someday, never stopp dreaming. They will never come true if you stopp believing :)
Airclips are the best videos ever and so clear
Thanks for the support Philip
I flew the Dash 7 for a few hundred hours as First Officer up in Alaska during late 1980s. It was great watching these guys work! It’s a cool plane, for sure.
I used to work on Das Island in the Persian Gulf. Flew on Dash 7s and Twin Otters. Fantastic aircraft.
yeah I also like it a lot
Nobody does it better than AirClips.
you got me blushing ;)
Amazing!!!! I love how you cover a lot of classic aircraft inside and out! Great video thanks again 🙌🏾
Flying this incredible machine across the beautiful arctic tundra is everything I have ever dreamed of.
next time you can come with me :)
the best video on Dash 7 so far. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
"Oh, yeah?!" - enthusiasm cracked me up.
they love the job
Great presentation of Air Tindi and the fantastic and underrated Dash 7 ! Enjoyed this short clip of our exceptional Canadian crews who really work hard !

What an amazing aircraft (and crew).
they keep up such a high work standard :)
Very good intro to the Dash 7. Thank you.
No problem 😉
Those are marvelous airplane!
They are really stunning and I think the disgn was really speacial for the time. It is awesome that it still can fly
I start going to work in Convairs in 80 (what a bad ass machines), Since 2000 we have nice dash 8 Q 400 a high performance prop airlplanes. I know that those dash 7 are the grand pa off those famous dashs. I saw the government red Dash 7 in Radison and they were parking it in a corner way from view.

this is the best i have ever seen like been there camera work well done patrick
Im always trying to hit the best angels so your experience is some what realistic 😊
Incredible video footage, and outstanding airmanship from the crew! Thanks for posting!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it all! Thank you!

Greetings from Patrick
I love it..."60...rotate"!
me too they seem so powerfull
This beauty is coming out to MSFS2020 sometime in 2022 and cant wait to fly her.
sound like fun to me :)
Amazing what a Dash 7 can actually do!!
Yeah it still got a lot of power that is true

21:10 - It looks like a pivot turn on a tank. I wonder how much the steering angle of the nose gear rotates.
this constantly speeding up sound from the Propellers is just smooth like butter. TH-cam needs an airplane ASMR channel 😂
Awesome video, with so many different cameras and that sound! Rotation at 60 knots? Wow.
Wow! They weren't overstating things when they say STOL. That thing felt like it landed on the head of a pin. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating but damned impressive aeroplane. Did get a little
whisper of concern at 7:14 when the number 4 engine started puffing out some "smoke".
thats the thing with planes like this. But most of the time they are in really good conditions.
The engeering on this was just stunning wok
Beautiful plane!
Einfach geil!
The beauty of a four engine machine, something goes wrong with an engine or propeller, you can do a three engine ferry and always get back home.
yeah that's true, also restarting engines was different back then
I love how you use the cameras, awesome stuff.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed watching!
Air tindi seems like a nice place to work at.
It is the employees are so nice and aways with an fun attitude at work. Working their must be a pleasure

Thank you very much! Well they are not the most powerfull engines but it is still stunning to see how much weight this one is able to carry

back in 2013 I was on a Berjaya Air #Dash7 from Tioman to Singapur, really nice flight.
nice, beautiful plane and beautiful airports can't get any better
Extraordinary plane, powerful with the four engines, Extraordinary pilots, resulting in an Extraordinary video....

A great video. Congratulatios team. I am avionic technician Dash 7 in Venezuela.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for a great video! 😀👌
No problem 👍
So surreal to see a co-pilot call out "rotate" at just above highway speeds.
DASH 7 - A GREAT STOL AIRCRAFT !!
THATS TRUE 😊
Goodness me, the way I’m longing to work up north, flying one of these machines.
One day 🤞🏽
Excellent video.
You can do it! The time will come!
Arkia Israel Airlines used to have these beautiful aircraft on their domestic routes from Tel Aviv down to Eilat and Yotvata, and it was a pleasure to ride on them. Yotvata was a very short runway of about 4500 feet. Did it also in very hot weather.
awesome one, the short run way is truly special
I work in a small airport in Nairobi kenya(wilson airport) we have two of these used to take tourist to safari’s where they land in small unpaved strips
and why are they still used? just for the safari style or because of convenience ?
Bit late seeing this! But I have to say what superb camera work and editing
Better late than never I guess 😂. It was a lot of work as always but to hear from you that it was nice to watch is payment enough to me :)
In the high Arctic, 4 engines are a good thing!
yes surely better than a single engine powered one
Good flight
Flew on a dash 7 from BHX to JER, 1997 approx. taxied out, lined up and were off, cleared the runway before the side markings!
awesome dash 7 is a nice experience
Been on the North Slope of AK flying along a 200 ft and not a soul in site for 500 miles, talk about a desolate feeling!
what a crazy flight it must have been
Remember a few flights to Paradise Island Nassau in these. Great STOL performance but pretty loud back in the cabin.
yeah on longer flights I can imagine that the sound can get a little stressful
Very well edited. Great video.
Most interesting video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hot start 850°c ITT engine number four.
yes its extremely hot for such a start you are right
Saw that
Sounds like a fantastic operation there. Second best only to the DC-3/DC-4s I guess. Great video and editing! Thx for sharing!
Thank you too! Glad you liked the video it was a lot of work. But it's nice that you viewers love the DC 7 video that much. It was truly worth it !
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
I know she may be old, but i want to fly her someday
well that's understandable she is maybe old but still gorgeous
The ROAR at 31:01, what is thát, I would like to know, because it was the sound of my childhood, living next to Kastrup airport, where Maersk Air operated the Dash 7, love(d) that plane, and not the least thát sound....;- )
I was in Norman Wells and Yellowknife
And how was it ?
Transport Canada has a Dash 7 as well that's blood red in color that they use for surveillance, she's stationed in the eastern part of Canada.
sounds like a beautiful aircraft, do you know how often it comes to use ?
...thank to All for this very nice Video !!! Kinde regards from Switzerland !!! frormer SB20 CDR
Thank you too! Best regards from Germany!!!!
Something special about the old 4 engined gal's.
Can't lie about that they are beautiful
Very nice video. DHC7 is my all time favorite airplane. I especially love those convairs at the end. Just wondering if you had any issues from an airworthiness standpoint with regards to mounting cameras on the exterior of the aircraft. I work in the aircraft world and getting ANYTHING attached to an aircraft, inside or outside is quite a process. Designs must pass through engineering and airworthiness department before mods even begin.
Its not a big deal the engineers are teelling me where im allowed to mount some cameras and they diskuss it together with the captain and the airline.
TÍ never head any Issues with my little GoPros causing harm or trouble. The only thing that sucks is that the some time fall off.
Thanks for the nice comment :)
Is it possible to get to the PAX cabin through the cargo hold?
how long runway needed for dash 7 ?
Polar Bears hunt the seals by waiting near those holes and pouncing when a seal comes to breathe. They have hooked front claws to snag the seal.
Great plane! Many hours flying these wit Pan Am Express in the NE corridor.

Nose gear tire looks almost bald. Sweet plane.
such a classic can't do something wrong with it
31:22 You just want to yell "Up, Up, and Awaaayyyy!"

Beautiful shoot.
You're bringing back good ghosts AC.
Loved flying with Tindi to our 💎mine that we nicknamed (Stalag-Luft Zero).....checked to see that 18 DHC-7s are still in active service out of the 113 built.
Prost!🍻
they are located next door to Buffalo
I most likely saw that in Air Niugini livery since we lived there when I was growing up
Flew on them in the 80s , they were the commuter plane. Didn't know any were left.
yeah ist really nice to see that some of the plane survived and are still able too fly I guess
That was a great ride with excellent stereo sound. Thank you! 🛫❤️
Glad you enjoyed it, Joe !
Stupid question... Why do you start engine's with full pitch on blades... doesn't that stress blade/engine more than if you started them in zero pitch?
PT-6 Engines. Free turbine
Land of MIDNIGHT SUN
where were the STOL takeoffs and landings??
Do you know if Air Tindi operates regular flights on dash 7's or all these operations are chartered ?
Air Tindi does regular scheduled flights to communities in the NWT out of Yellowknife.
looks like the 2 red dash 7's are from Greenland
I think so as well
I think you need new front tyres!
that's true haha
Seems so, people born and raised there far north don't even need sun glasses any more?! 😁
their eyes just got used to it :)
Isn’t there a wrecked Dash-7 at that airport

Where can I get an AIR CLIPS hat...!!?
on my website :)
@@AirClipscom what is the website address? 😬
They “were” the largest operator of Dash 7. Now its MSFS that operates hundreds of them 🤣
4 engines for small airframe
