I actually flew on a DC-3.last summer. My route was Helsinki-Tampere-Vaasa and the next day back to Helsinki via Jämijärvi. The aircraft was an 81 year old DC-3 registered OH-LCH. It was originally delivered to Pan Am and has then flown with U.S Airforce, Finnair, Finnish Airforce and it's now being operated by Airveteran. It is flying in the old Finnair livery and it still has the old piston engines. The flight i took was a special flight. It was the same route Finnair flew exactly 75 years ago first time with that plane. And the best part is that anybody can book a flight. There are dozens of flights during summer. A 30min sightseeing flight over Helsinki costs around 80€. Amazing
Love the camera angle, really shows it well, the sound of the round engines glorious. Good thing no crosswinds, bouncy, bouncy, get the tail up on touchdown or you're going to go gardening one of these days.
My father flew them , sadly before i was born. I was able to fly with him in smaller single and twin engine planes before he died. 😢 The only times ive felt safe flying.....
En effet, avion fabuleux ! J’ai eu la chance de voler entre Vichy et Lypmne en Angleterre. Pilotes et hôtesse très sympathiques. Ce fut mon baptême de l’air en 1959!…….
I just recorded this old girl landing back at Princeton, NJ. The video will be on UA-cam sometime in the next 2 days. Funny, I always say the same thing about this airplane, "I just love this thing".
That's a Douglas Commercial (DC) aircraft type from Santa Monica (or Long Beach) California in the Union of South Africa (new examples during the1949s and perhaps very early1950s)! 😉 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🇿🇦 🌍 🇿🇦 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
