DC3 Engine Start
Loading...
Uploaded by Almost150 on Oct 29, 2008
Listen to the wonderful sound of DC-3 N44V built originally in 1942 starting its Two Pratt & Whitney radials, at the Carolinas Aviation Musuem.
The Right Engine had been rebuilt, hence the ground run and the fun starting it :0)
Some background noise from the jets taking off on the runway nearby (Charlotte).

@francdaavloox i don't know, frankly, but big commercial jets have... jet engines. and those engines are as round as possible. so what the fuck do you mean, chap???

@5963712 We had the Flagship Detriot Dc-3 come to our fly in. My dad was in charge of the event so I got to ride up in the cockpit for the flight it was awsome. Even better was that they let me fly for about 30 min in the left seat. I was 17 at the time and had legal Dc-3 time in my log. I gotta say these planes are heavy as hell on the controls. Dc-3s have always been my favorite plane.I will own one one day! I'm working my ass of in college now so that dream will come true someday!

Um... maybe read the description for the answer?

@motokid032 You don't "start" one of these big radials. You wake them up!

@5963712 Exactly, you see in Yellowknife, Northwestern Territories (CANADA), there is an airways called "Buffalo Airways" it has all the old FUN planes such as: DC 3, C-46 Commando, Lockheed Electra ect. AWESOME TOYS

Why do radials take so long to fire up? They seem to have to crank a million times.

Love the shine on the fuselage!

I too would pay whatever to fly in one of these classic air craft. I think if they would designate a route on one of these planes it would make a lot of money. Who could refuse to fly in such a magnificent air craft.
