DC-3 Cockpit Takeoff - Flat, Alaska

Another video from the vault! From the summer of 2016. Different angle of Johnny and I departing Flat, Alaska after dropping off a load of freight for a customer. This brings back good memories. Having currently been left seat in the RJ racking those precious turbine PIC hours I often look back to the times Johnny mentored me. The DC-3 was my very first REAL flying job and boy oh boy did he tak...

I'm finally just now getting around to sorting through footage and photos from my years as a DC-3 co-pilot (4 years ago!). Around this time I had just separated from active duty military to pursue college and kick start my flying career. In doing so found myself as in the right seat flying alongside a great man in a historic aircraft. He and I would go on to become good friends from this summer...
C208 Landing Nulato Village, Alaska (PANU) - Wright Air Service
Переглядів 9572 роки тому
One of the many shuttles to the neighboring villages of Galena. Daily morning down river runs from our hub base in Fairbanks. Would depart Galena full of mail/pax destined for Koyokuk, Nulato, and Kaltag ending back up in Galena to shuttle folks and gear back to Fairbanks. Lot of landings, short flights, but fun!

During the COVID 2020 Pandemic I took a company paid leave from the airlines. Returned home to Alaska flying the fun stuff! Part of that fun involved Caravans out of Fairbanks and the North Slope. This was a Kaktovik charter out of the Barrow base during the two weeks I spent up there in January. Cool flying, lots of weather and long days... One certainly builds up a great deal of skill on the ...

Winter Ski Flying Trip - Wrangell-St. Elias
Переглядів 4273 роки тому
Four adventure seeking thrillists set off for the Wrangel-St Elias in the dead of winter with two Piper Cubs. We might have gone in a month too early as the weather dampened the majority of our plans confining us to the local area around Peavine. Making the best of what we had of course, the group improvised a cross-country ski trip to a nearby frozen water fall for an afternoon packed with ice...

My Life Dream. Thank You Guys. 🙂👍
I’m in flat right now with starlink. Not much left of the town. I wish I could time travel back a bit. Even photos from a couple of years ago go would be cool. If you took any photos while out there, feel free to show me. I would love to see it.
did they loose the wing camera en route?
Grew up on the lower Yukon but became I had to be the bread winner first the family missed the funeral of my mom and dad also half of my nine brothers and four sisters but do go to visit the ones in anchorage every few years 🥰
Grew up in Alaska now live in Idaho thanks for the video
Was at Sparrevohn, SVW aka "The Survivin" 719th" in 1969.
Do I need a CPL to do cargo?
Beautiful plane, beautiful scenery.
Traveled this by air 2 times in the 1980s and 5 or 6 times by boat
Wow. You chose a really nice point.
Loved it..yet a little scary :)
I'm fascinated by runways that would never, ever have been built except that they absolutely have to service some critical industry in the middle of totally impassible terrain. The airstrip at Sparrevohn is a great example, since the Cold War military was the single biggest "critical industry" ever. If you presented such a runway plan to a civilian they'd have you dragged out of the building in a straitjacket. But the Cold War US Air Force? "Looks fine, get it done!"
Hello Alex , what type of cam it takes to record like that kind of footage ?
Where is the old DC6 that was there ?
That's so cool
Thanks Alex.....Green with Envy ! Enjoy!
I spent 66 into 67 here not my favorite place to be
Hi Alex, My grandfather and hishalf brother mined a claim outside of Flat, AK but had a cabin in the town. My grandpa came back to Iowa about 1915 and not longer after the half brother supposedly took a new partner and then was allegedly murdered (according to letters from a rooming house owner and an attorney from Flat). I would love to know what brought you in a -3 to Metro Flat and your impressions of the town and nu,ber of homes you observed that appeared to be occupied. Thanks so much!!!
What was you grandfathers name? I’ve been carrying research lately on the town as a hobby. I have searched up to the 50th page on every browser on the internet. If you have any old photos that have been scanned on to a computer then it would be great if you could contact me and share them. I myself own some old photos that I would like to share to the internet.
@@skepler2 HI, I will answer you at length hopefully with a few photos. So happy to make your acquaintance!! L.A.V.
@@pettyfogger2305 what is your email. I can share my collection of photos that my family found in old flat buildings. We have about fifty photos that we found while digging through junk.
Iconic aircraft!
' no wonder why dont have a snow in january 2017 in the city of skwenta
Это на Аляске?
Exactly the same scene could have been filmed 50 years ago. Pretty cool to think about.
Boy, that’s close to the threshold! You should aim to the “aiming point”.
Aí sim havia pilotos de verdade. Trem de pouso convencional não é pra qualquer piloto.
Great video. Do another we the other out takes
Si me imagino un avión, veo un DC 3.
There's got to be a "I knew it" moment on an IFR flight when you finally see the runway
Nice ❤️
Uma aeronave espetacular!
These are real pilots. Not like Airbus operators!
Approx 55 years ago used to watch these doing top-dressing (crop dusting) in Rotorua, New Zealand. The sound of those radials is just amazing. Well done, dog and master. Thanks for sharing 👍
Crop dusting DC3 ? didn't hear that before as it isn't the most maneuverable aircraft..
Nature Rapers. Gawddamn parasites.
I have MANY MANY hours flying the piper Navajo but grew up in my dad twin Comanche
Dog see plane: Go! Human: Wait. Have the cake eat the cake....
Not many other planes with the kind of service life of the venerable DC3, doubt there ever will be. The mother of big, comfy planes. Makes me happy to see some still in service--about 300 as of 2022, which is not bad for a plane that's nearly 90.
GTA San Andreas Nevada airplane
5:10 flying into the fog looks amazing
Absolutely fantastic 👍
Bautiful
Love the Socks
He was notorious for wearing no shoes! Called him “Bearfoot Johnny” haha
Crew management haha!!! Beautyfull!!
You would need to own a private gold mine....just to pay for the fuel for that magnificent airplane....much less the annual.
Old girl still doing it gracefully. The DC-3 is still one of the best looking planes ever.
Fun watching all the nervous ticks.
That’s a mildly ignorant thing to say. Thanks. Have a great day 👋
Hey Alex Where is N272R now and is she still flying? She used to be parked at Bowman Field in the 60’s where I witnessed her collide with a Cessna 150 midair. Im a retired A&P from Delta.
Hi John! 72R lives in Anchorage, AK and is still flying. Did it have the modified nose cone when you saw it last?
N272R I saw this plane collide midair with a Cessna 150 in Louisville KY in mid 1960’s when I was a child. Came inside to tell mother what Id seen. The Cessna crashed into a neighborhood very close to where I was. Cessna pilot turned out to be a friend of our family. I became an aircraft mechanic for USAF and later Delta.
What about the DC3?
Hey John, Yeah, I too am curious as to what happened with 72R... It obviously kept flying because it's still here today flying 135.
@@Speedbird_ak, there is an accident report online, I’d share the link but I’m not sure if the spam detectors would delete my comment. The accident occurred on Friday the 10th of September, 1965, at 12:08, 3.1 miles east of Louisville-Bowman Field, Louisville, Kentucky. The DC3 was hauling cargo and collided with Cessna 150 N4564U at 1800 feet shortly after takeoff. The Cessna crashed, with one fatality, and the DC3 was substantially damaged but able to return to the field with its port engine shut down. The accident was attributed to both pilots failing to follow standard pattern procedures and failure to keep an adequate lookout.
@@Pete-tq6in Thanks for that!
How I miss opening the taps and hearing the soft roar of the PW’s
Wow!
If it was in Brazil the Air Force would be bombing the field
Dream of piloting this plane! Are there pilot vacancies there? haha
