  • Really good vid Paul, she's a good looking bird ;) never seen her in the "flesh" though :( she has a great noise to her.

  • What a great display, very spirited, very skilled. Fantastic to see this beautiful aircraft still flying. The DC-6 made the world a smaller place. Thanks for sharing your excellent video!

  • Beautiful video. But please next time bring glue for the mouths of all those people who cannot appreciate real music.

  • IIRC WAY back in the 1970's or even '60's a DC-6 was entered in the Unlimited races at Reno, and it was awe-inspiring to watch her do pylon turns with a P-51 struggling to pass her on the outside.

    Pilot, co-pilot and engineer on board, all the seats still in her, and a giant Snoopy doll for a passenger.

    Footage showing her rotating around the pylons is downright scary.

  • Absolutely spiffing. Thanks a lot.

    We used to hear a lot of large radials, but they are disappearing :-(

  • Brings back memories of when I flew these as a flight engineer with VR-21 during Vietnam. I loved this ride!

  • Great sound

  • as a six year old boy,we used to fly in the DC6 every weekend to London.How fast do they fly?

  • It makes a wonderfull noise

  • Brings back lovely memories of flying from London Airport North on a B.O.A.C. "Argonaut" to Bahrein. Long flight with lots of stops on the way.

  • ...see her just about every day at coventry airport...altho shes normally static...nice to see the old lady in her natural element though....nice video...thank you...5 stars to you !!!
