80 YEAR OLD CLASSIC! White Desert Antarctica Douglas DC-3 (Basler BT-67) in Montreal (YUL/CYUL)

Talk about looking GREAT for your engine.. This DC-3 is 80 years old and it looks/sounds fantastic! Never did I think I would get the chance to see White Desert DC3 in Montreal so I am so happy to have seen it!
This aircraft was built in 1944 as a Douglas C-47 for the U.S Army Air Force; to fight in World War II. The aircraft joined the Royal Canadian Air Force that same year, and flew with them until 1970; it then flew with many different civilian airlines. In 2012, the aircraft was converted by Basler into a BT-67 (or DC-3 Turbine) and has been flying with ALCI Aviation since 2010 (as C-FOOW) and then switched to C-FDXQ after the conversion.
The aircraft was operating a special cargo charter flight to a remote town near Nain
in Newfoundland and Labrador. The aircraft spent the entire season in Antarctica operating charter flights for White Desert. They do the logistics for transport in Antartica! The DC-3 only returned to Canada less than a month ago!

Hi Mark thanks for the nice videos you share with us .I have one question why your name so big at the bottom of the video it is kind of very destructive when watching your videos .Isee on you tube. A lot of you have all of a sudden put up this huge names .Is the video about airplanes or the name Mark Brandon im just asking im not being nasty either.greeting s.

[@MarkBrandonAviation]

Thank you! The reason for the watermark is I unfortunately do have many of my videos stolen and re-uploaded so this does help to protect against it.

[@andregeyer1660]

@@MarkBrandonAviation Ok i understand but can you guys not make it smaller so that it does not take ones attention away from the video.

[@MarkBrandonAviation]

Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll take it into consideration

Turboprop is also a turbine engine. Turbine is the generic term for all jet and turboprop engines.

[@francisperreault5541]

Turbine engine yes, turbofan no
