When and where was this video recorded? I thought DC-6's didn't fly any longer.

It was in 2000. They still fly in Alaska and the UK.

For your basic services in Alaska and South America, there are no airplane like your big Douglas transports to get the job done.

@oskarbider99 No, that was a last minute discovery by the rookie pilot, whose first day it was. Lucky to have cleared the end of the runway.

@ThomasAUSTRALIA1 Well they didn't have the door open for a start.  Basically, this plane is shot to pieces and is now probably in a million bits covering a few square miles of the Amazon jungle.

The noise from the engines is deafening. How did passengers cope with all the loud, thundering noise?
