2009 New Garden Airshow - SBD Dauntless

Douglas SBD Dauntless

2009 New Garden Airshow
New Garden Airport
Toughkenamon, Pennsylvania
Sunday June 14, 2009

IN THIS VIDEO, I am proud to present a video featuring a taxi out, takeoff, several passes, and landing of an SBD Dauntless. This is the second or third time I have seen a Dauntless fly (there are only two in the world in airworthy condition) and am absolutely privledged to see one at New Garden. The aircraft is operated by the Commemorative Air Force and was at Reading's World War II Weekend show the previous weekend.

Like what you've seen? If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

The music sucks. I had a friend that was a gunner on this airplane.  I loved listening to his stories. this airplane is awesome.

@leesherman100 i mean now days. not during ww2 every-time I've seen photos or videos of this sbd it has fake bombs underneath it

[greenseaships]

That plane almost single-handedly saved our asses at Midway.l God bless it, a true hero airplane! When the Devastators couldn't get the job done, this thing made mincemeat out of the 'heroes of Pearl Harbor."

ToSgtGrant23: Underwing drag can be removed easily. Simply drop it on a Jap vessel!!! LOL.

Ive always wondered how much drag the sbd had with the ordnance under the wings
