This is such a good video. Really shows how much input is coming from pilot. Great video!

How I wish I was on that flight, love the sound of the DC-3 engine. It's part of History.

@TalksWithDirt Thanks for your thoughts. I agree 100%. Some aircraft reached a peak of near perfection decades ago, and the DC-3 is one of them. I would include the Boeing 747 in that category, in a different scale, of course. The Boeing B-29 comes to mind, too---once the engine cooling problems were generally resolved.

@bboucharde Every time I see a DC-3 on approach or a 737-400+ they two aircraft remind me of the other. If I had a few tens of millions to throw around I'd develop a DC-3 sized aircraft, in tail dragger config, with a pressurized cabin but powered by turbofans. A jet version of the DC-3 made to do the same missions these old birds are still doing. In the 90's I was impressed that there were so many DC-3's still flying, and I even more amazed they still are. Wonderful.

It would be interesting to learn about the pilot's background. He looks like an old war veteran

@xxpetey454xx We were just delivering the airplane from New York to Everett, Washington. So our job was done, unfortunately.
