Ah, the Gooney Bird. Homely and ungainly, but oddly beautiful and graceful at the same time. Thank you for preserving this history and keeping it flying.
Thanks for your comment Les! The DC-3 / C-47 is an amazing aeroplane. We now have five of them in our collection and it is our goal to eventually have all five in the air at once. I can't imagine what ten Pratt and Whitney R-1830s would sound like!
GREAT STUFF - and good, simple solid video editing work. This will one day prove to be a historic piece of fooage, not only for the aircraft but the coastline up to and including Sydney as of Dec 2020 ..... and all on a crystal clear day. I will forward to aviation buffs around the world. Brilliant. I should add - my last flights in a DC3 were in PNG, and at a time when the airstrip IN Lae was in operation as distinct from running the raskol gauntlet and potholes out to Nadzab.
@@petercunningham2339 thanks for your kind comment! The DC-3, or C-47 in this case, is an amazing aeroplane and it is such a privilege to part of the crew that operates it. Many of our crew members operated them in PNG and I love hearing their stories. If you're in the Sydney area, you might just see us do it again this Friday (around lunch time) - Victor One to Long Reef and then into the Harbour and out through the Heads.
@@markfromharsaviationmuseum4 Thanks, but I'm up in Mitagong - nearby but not close enough to see! I visited HARS @ NOv las year and will bring down/donate some 'stuff' I found on WW2 aircraft in PNG .... better used by you lot than looked at by me.
