[zeetek007]

Sounds like your using a Nokia N73, that high buzzing sound gives it away. lol

[bigblockz8]

Mmm radials!

[YTM021807]

Those engines sounds beautiful and have a pleasingly healthy sound. Extremely well taken care. i WOULD like to go to Finland to take a ride.

[ongkienemir]

the very first plane I'm flying with (as passenger), I was in kindergaten, flying from Balikpapan to Surabaya, Indonesia.

the first thing I did after through the door is looking for the batteries, at that time I imagined it will be powered by batteries as my toy, the fuselage of my plane toy was fulled with batteries

[falcondriver100]

Love them wrights! Anyone know how many of these gals are still flying??

[twistedyogert]

I heard that a guy bought one for $30,000.

[YTM021807]

Lately those DC 3 engine sounds have become rare.

Luckily these excellent video has superb "radial music" :)

The Connies were my favorite but they disappeared many years ago :-(

But there are Connie videos as well ;)

[012Wallace]

That is my favourite air plane music

[ORYGUNLADY]

I took an air tour of the outback of OZ in one of these. I had never been on one which had passenger seats, just military version. They can of course land on a postage stamp and it was just cool being in one for the tour..........18 day

[hammerogod]

I was lucky enough to be born before the DC3s went out of regular service with Central Airlines.

In my teens I often flew from Duncan to Dallas in a DC3.

Flew low and slow.

You could count the ducks on the ponds.

I think I was on the last commercial flight (or the next to the last flight) of a DC3 out of Duncan Ok.

Central put Convair 240's on that route and the DC3's were not seen again.

I have had several opportunities over the years to get DC3 time and jumped on every one of them.

[TotallyTheSims3]

Just curious here.... are the DC-3's engine single or double-row i.e two engines together driving one prop on each side.

[Treetop64]

@TotallyTheSims3

The vast majority of DC-3s were powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasps; twin-row, 14 cylinder radials (seven cylinders per row). The earliest DC-3s were powered by Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9s; single-row radials with nine cylinders. The latter were the same engines that powered B-17s.

[bushman14]

-94's?

[kadarysi]

Why do they allow to explore that old shit ? !!!

[NikitasGuitars]

Great, Great video!

[CondeTERRAN0VA]

this plane is good, this plane is "THE plane"...

[TheMega6622]

seems the sound of a Curtiss C-46 commando

good video!

[randommagnum]

That liftoff is so sweet looking...almost like a magic carpet. The engines make it look effortless.

[71superbee3]

1:44 Yeah !

[solomonpilot767]

wow that is my favorite and,the first time i ever flew when i was a kid was Ethiopian Air Line back in the 70 s and,thx 4 posting 10 plus!

[Servant4theLord]

Very nice video - great audio - excellent camera work - thank you.

[SmokenRubber]

That is a beautiful sound. Those 9 cyl engines really are fantastic. The whole plane really is a brilliant aircraft. 

[CORSAIR001]

magic ! ! !

[MrDanieldb]

The Sound of Music................

[patko1610]

how much space it need to take-off

[Ampex196]

Thanks! If my simulation is reasonably accurate, the DC3 is a doddle to fly - albeit with one or two quirkes.

[peppermintfreak1]

Yay!!! 75 years of legend still in the air, still in service !!!

[tunkki321]

OH-LCH kiiltää kuin kilin pallit. Googlettakaa "OH-LCH over the numbers at Lelystad". Hienoa että oikeat lentokoneetkin lentää.

[daviator78]

did this model use coffman starters?

[belate2]

@daviator78 no.

[daviator78]

@belate2 - ahhh! electric then??

[fognadicalcutta]

COFF...COFF !!!!!

[mig15fan]

magestic

[ThatMiserableCat]

Marvelous Douglas airplane, and sweet sounding Pratt&Whitney R-1830's!

Good show!

[Raffy321]

What a beauty! Thanks for sharing!

[Chamossaire65]

That sound brings back memories, I used to cycle to a US airbase in the UK in the late 1950's and stand at the end of the runway - the sight and smell never to be forgotten!

[finnpepe]

Bruno Lucanderin vanha dc-3! STR

[TrutherD1]

It's not supposed to be hazy or overcast all the time. It's a secret worldwide program. Search for "chemtrails", "Dont talk about the weather". Check my chan for my vids. Friend me. Ask me. Wake up. Wake others.

[19elgato46]

The only thing that sounds as good as a pair radials are 4 radials. I never see any comments about the harmonics of multiple engines when heard from the cabin. Am I the only one who loves that rumm  rumm rumm rummrummrummrummrumm rumm rumm rumm. Don't know how to describe it.

[h0troddude]

Yeah! Finnair. Great clip, was this at Malmi?

[NTSC1080]

Nicely done !

You held your shot through the pan, nice and steady. Must be an old pro, I don't think you were running a fluid head or anything, right ?

[bolexmovie]

I didn't have a tripod. I don't know what it takes to become an old pro and when I will reach that point but you are right, this was not the first time I was holding a camera.

[erelprivat]

what a sweet start up and take off..

[llanamejia]

Well, first thing I wanted to say when I watched the videp was how bwautiful those radials sound...But I see many people think the same thing. Well, I am happy to see I am not alone in my love for those airplanes.

[granskare]

In 1960 I first visited Finland, flying from Sundsvall to Vaasa where relatives met me...and of course the DC-3 was similar to this one :)

[DJtaka86]

Nothing I know of can match the grace of DC-3 at take off!

[hawkeyeC4]

Great song..

[7674Princess]

Great plane!

[chessiethecat]

Nothing sounds better than a pair of Radials

[wlh1usa]

@chessiethecat lucky me, living in south west florida, they use these for mosquito spraying, we have a few hueys that do that also,

[alienhuman]

@chessiethecat Not even 4 of them? Give me the Connie or a B17 when it comes to winding out some finely balanced jugs.

[chrisjeffsmusic]

@chessiethecat 2 pairs of radials?

[FiveCentsPlease]

The takeoff and flyover are great. Nothing sounds better than radial engines droning off in the distance. I wish they would come back to aviation.

[pottu200]

Anna mennä Oscar Charlie Hotel !!

[amadeus5889]

The only replacement for a DC-3 is another DC-3.

[easo1933]

what about curtiss c-46 was

[PSNgregiskool]

@amadeus5889 Or Chuck Norris

[BruceCarbon]

@amadeus5889 YAY



[fluffycheep]

@amadeus5889 Its a beautiful plane. Everything about it. Simple and to the point.

[tinytalent]

What a beautiful sound, those Pratt radials starting up.

[7tdez25]

Hienoa harrastajat. Pitäkää LCH kunnossa.

[JGreenbrier]

A truly majestic plane in it's power, simplicity and reliability. THANKS for posting this, very nice!
