@767gonza those are the Pratt & Whitney 1830s. the Wright 1820 was only applied to the early DC-3s. the P&W 1830s were applied to C-47s and later DC-3s

This is a Wright 1820 engine DC-3, it is nice but I prefer the Pratt & Whitneys 1830 much better

She looks beautyful and the engines sound like new. I have never seen such a new one, only the damaged ones, and had to fly them. And side by side with a Globemaster, that can be very dangerous, to come behind her, would not be nice. thanx, that you gave me back a little feeling nearly halve a century ago.

This clip is awesome. I love the C-17 and the DC-3. I hope to fly the globemaster one day. I rate this 5 stars. COOL

Those are actually Wright/Cyclone 1820-97D engines. One clue is the oil cooler scoop. This aircraft is actually a C-49J, ordered in 1941 by TWA with 1820 W/C engines. Many airlines ordered tye Wrights due to their higher horsepower ratings. Ours is currently carrying 1475HP each.
