Thanks #2. I knew nothing about Hardline before you mentioned it, just spent an awe-struck weekend watching it. Think the -6 crew had the most fun. Much appreciated
Tried to watch the linked video,... gawd, such annoying twats. Only thing worthwhile on that flight is the 'seen it all before' disinterest of the flight stewards. Definitely more interesting footage here Dafydd, keep up the great work!
Was a special event put on for the riders of a mountain biking event not too far away. Red bull hardline. Plenty video from them of the inside of it also. She's a beaut inside and out
Fun fact: this DC-6 was owned by Yugoslav statemarshal Josip Broz Tito as his personal plane for state visits and VIP guests. Later it was sold to Zimbabwe until Red Bull bought it and restored it in 2000...
I believe it was used very little ans pretty much abandoned in Zimbabwe until dietrich mateschitz bought ...apparently it was suposed to have a "revamp" to get to airworthiness , after some time for investigation dietrich said no lets just completly rebuild it bolt by bolt ! having flown in it i can tell you its stunning and looks brand new!
Beautiful Blast From The Past .... I remember DC 6s when they were in service ..... Very Old Memories 😃 I Just Wish I Could Climb Up There To Take Some Pics But I'd Never Make It 😥 Thanks For Sharing Quinny
What a sight that is. As someone who has washed and polished chrome aircraft, my respect goes out to the crew that keeps that DC-6 beautiful. - Thanks Dafydd.
Indeed! Red Bull (-Bike) should see this! An outstanding aircraft filled with all Hardline Athletes in front of one of the most outstanding features of the Hardline Downhill Track. Could it get any better?!
Beautiful! My first assignment as a young U.S. Navy sailor was to Fleet Tactical Support Squadron 21 (VR-21) at Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii. Our airfield (now Kalaeloa Airport) was just a couple of miles west of Ewa Beach near the southwest tip of Oahu. We flew C-118's (military designation for the DC-6): noisy and slow, but rugged and fun.
Even though jets are cool there is nothing like a propeller driven aircraft from yesteryear. Beautiful! Now if a Lockheed Constellation flew through the Loop I would just go loopy. Once again you put a giant smile on my face.....you are always in the right place at the right time my man! Pleasure watching your work!
While in the USAF, I maintained a DC-6 for several years. Now, flying overhead, I can recognize the sound of a radial engine. So if we think that was a low pass, let's go for an OV-10!
@@DafyddPhillips I was there today at Castell y Bere just hoping it might show….!!!!!! But you film wonders and please don’t apologise your channel is a real treasure. Alll the very best Paul
Love hearing those Pratt & Whitney R-2800s. SWEET!❤🔥🎵🎶 Really low in the ditch! C'mon F-35 weenies, got to go lower! The old Red Bull 6 is making you look like amateurs!
I happened to find it live on ADS-B Exchange when it did its 2nd run through the Mach Loop. I knew a video was going to follow, so I'm glad I got notified this!
Certainly on the second pass the DC-6 was pretty low, brilliant, shame it was all spoiled with those noisy American jet things😊 super footage as always Dafydd.
@@NathanEide It's a small world, isnt it? 😊 On rewatching this video, I missed that he made a snapshot of the plane in front of the friggin road gap at 1:22 ! 🙌
With minimum weight & with throttles up, this DC6 would be an absolute joy for any pilot to fly, particularly flying through mountain valleys like this
Follow the MTBing and was looking for footage of this going through the Mach Loop, well captured! The athletes that were competing got taken out as treat, what an experience!
Absolutely fantastic Daf, 👍🏴✈️🇺🇲 I'm properly kicking myself now, I'd tried to get time off to get over for yesterday and today, but the OK from my boss got lost in the ether or some server somewhere 😖😢 Catch you on the hill sometime soon Daf ATB Andy
This was for the athletes of the Red Bull Hardline downhill mountain bike race. The plane was filled up with the best downhill mountain bike racers in the world, finals are tomorrow nearby and is shown live on Red Bull UA-cam channel. Watch it it will make your toes curl especially seeing them jump the “roadgap”
I have been RUINED by Mega Powerful Jet Engines and Super Sonic Fighters. This looked like slow motion camera to me. I still enjoyed it. Thanks for filming.👌😎👍
I flew on those a few times when I was in the Navy designated C 118 . They were referred to as the dollar 18 . On my first flight I brought it to the attention of flight engineer that there was oil streaming out of the engines down the wing he informed me that that was normal and if it should stop let him know because then we would be in trouble .
For all interested what was going on inside the plane then take a look here

@@PiDsPagePrototypes awful twats indeed. Well said.
I love the sound of a radial in the morning.
They really did a great job on this DC-6. Best looking example I've ever seen. Even the corporate logos manage to look good and not tasteless.
Wow, I never expected to see a piston engined aircraft fly through the loop. that was stunning.
It was great in the flesh nick, thanks for watching

Ive been on that !! The pilots seriously know how to hustle it around !
its such a beutiful thing inside and out great to see it !
Beautiful DC-6. I'm old enough to have flown on those with United and American Airlines.
Me too, although if you look at the link to the interior shots, they sure didn't look like that on the inside back in the day! What a beautiful plane!

Thanks as always.
Totally agree
What a treat to see an old work horse at Match Loop. Thank you for sharing 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you!
Beautiful. It was circling over Royston earlier on hold for Duxford. Love the sound, very powerful note.
Amazing! Who cares about a few F35s when you have a DC6!!😂
Well said! 😊
Absolutely stunning.. thanks for uploading
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for watching. ✈️👍
Great shutter speed work for the prop blur Dafydd!
Many thanks Steve.
So cool seeing that beautiful airframe in that setting! It was gleaming from nose to tail, wingtip to wingtip.
Thanks for watching the video Ian. Appreciate it.

Superb. Bet you never thought you would see that !
Thanks Stephen. Not in my widest of dreams. It was great sight!
Amazing to see such an old aircraft fly through the loop. Watched the hardline riders videos from inside the aircraft also.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Saw the video, Looked like they where having fun!
@DafyddPhillips Yeh a few were making use of the sick bags lol
what a catch! nice one Daf !
Many thanks Hugh. Catch up September.
Nice Catches at Mach Loop
Many thanks for watching
Stunning is right! What a beautiful aircraft. Well done Red Bull. Thank you very much and keep up the great work.
One doesn’t usually associate Red Bull with elegance but here we are. Kudos.
The Red Bull hardline was being held in this valley and the plane was full of participants of the event.
Thanks for watching
Simply sublime shooting! Awesome Dafydd!
Many thanks Todd
Man, I miss these aircraft for passenger service. This is super nice. Great posting of the beautiful DC-6.
Thanks for watching craig
@@DafyddPhillips You are welcome.
Love the way you can see the acrostic hardline route in the background in some of the shots. Nice work!
Many thanks.
I thought I’d heard something different like a big prop plane before. Was over Porthmadog way. Superb capture fella!!
Many thanks Paul. 👍
@@DafyddPhillips is it still at llanbedr airfield? I’m around Cadair later so wondered if I might see it
@@pauljones401 sorry for my slow reply, it is displaying at midlands air festival this weekend and I believe night stopping in Cardiff airport.

F-35s upstaged by a DC-6 built in 1958. A real beauty
Love hearing those Pratt & Whitney R-2800s. SWEET!❤🔥🎵🎶 Really low in the ditch! C'mon F-35 weenies, got to go lower! The old Red Bull 6 is making you look like amateurs!
And they claim an F-35 variant will provide close air support. Right
It would be cool to have a couple of A1-E Skyraider flying along side the DC-6 !!
I happened to find it live on ADS-B Exchange when it did its 2nd run through the Mach Loop. I knew a video was going to follow, so I'm glad I got notified this!
RESPECT to the past and where aviation is going.
Man I bet that pilot was having some fun.
I’d say so. 👍
He managed to make a few passengers sick so he most definitely had fun
@@BlueKnows 😂😂😂
All the great work you've posted, and I keep rewatching the Red Bull DC-6. Thanks and all the best!
Awesome, thank you!
👍
Thanks! What a treat, first time to ssee a -6 in flight. Gorgeous. Much appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank for watching.
Went over my house the coast (sea)end of the loop and headed over Shell island i had the bins on it looked awesome
so graceful , great catch Daf !
Cheers Fred
This is such a rare and beautiful looking DC-6 as it is a legend to be seen ooo and nice F-35A too 😎✨
Awesome Dafydd😊
Thank Pete. ✈️👍
Quite some sight that the sound of her engines is just beautiful quite rare seeing that low through mach loop brilliant footage dude🤘
Glad you enjoyed it

The pilots flew it really well Charles.
Thanks as always 👍
Hi buddy, absolutely fantastic. What a gem of an aircraft. Cheers Gary 🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it Gary.
Many thanks !!
Great catch D P, love the sound of those old round motors !
Many thanks Jeff. It sounded awesome in the flesh.
Great what a sound
Nothing sounds better than a radial aircraft from the golden ages. ❤
Funny, earlier I watched videos by the Hardline riders onboard this plane and thought "Is Mr. Phillips maybe out there filming it?" 😅
LOL!!! I came over here from your comment on Brayton's video and wondered if it went to his page!!
@@NathanEide It's a small world, isnt it? 😊 On rewatching this video, I missed that he made a snapshot of the plane in front of the friggin road gap at 1:22 ! 🙌

Happy you enjoyed it Richard.
Thanks for watching
I was there, so awsome 🤩
That was brilliant !!!DC6 looked to be doing it lower than the F35's :)
Wow, that is a beautiful plane.
Damn! How good is that!?
Happy you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching
*Spectacular*
Happy you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching.
Does anyone know what type of trees are growing in the forested areas? That is such a beautiful landscape. Great backdrop for the DC-6.
Glorious.
How cool is that???
Don't drink Red Bull......but I surely appreciate EVERYTHING they do for all things motosports! 😁
Wow this is extraordinary awesome, well done Dafydd 👍

Amazing old aircraft and cool jets in that pretty landscape. Thumbs up! :)
Many thanks

good setup, photo and video on top of each other, I often do that with two video cameras on my tripod. Very nice videos, always filmed stably
Many thanks Marc.

Some good videos of the Redbull Hardline riders inside this having a good time
Just flowing through the loop gracefully, lovely sound!.
Thank you Dafydd, that's epic! So nice to see hardline track venue in the footage.
Glad you liked it! Thank you👍
Amazing there is a pilot that is good enough to do this.
Absolutely. ✈️👍
Hope they send their Corsair threough too that would be epic
That’s work be cool! ✈️✈️👍
Blast from the Past, then Blasts of the Present! What a Blast!!!!

Hi great video when would you say is the best time to go there
Thanks Dave, no best time, you have to chance your luck on a weekday.
Good luck! ✈️✈️🤞
What's your camera setup? is that an EF 70-200 you're using?
I was using a 300mm f2.8 prime here
Thanks for watching.
@ Why am I not surprised lol
Can I ask, what is the mount between the video camera and Canon lens?
It’s a home made mount with rubber dampers to absorb any vibrations from the Camera shutter.
Thanks for taking interest.
@@DafyddPhillips Thank you for your reply and great video as always.
Superb video, i would like to have been on Spur on that first pass 👌, i was on Cad.E what a buzz it was watching this majestic beast. Top day.
Many thanks frank. You had a couple of extra passes on cad. Great that it came out to say hello 👍✈️
Such a great capture of the golden age of travel. I've no idea, but was all the chrome finish part of the original livery? All the best!
It's polished bare aluminium.
Thanks for watching Anthony
Appreciate as always 👍
Great video...👍
Thanks for the visit
An old putt-putt compared to what normally goes through there - fabulous!
What a great sound rhat DC6 makes.
Oh WOW.
Love to see the classic stuff
Cant wait for Cosford next week
Thanks William, I’ll be there next Sunday ✈️✈️✈️👍

It really does give you wings
Awesome!!! At last something more interesting than the boring Hariers and jet stuff!
Wow! What a sight! Which day was this?
Thank you. Today
I was under the impression that only military vehicles could fly the loop, is there a way for civilians to request it?
Any civilian aircraft can fly through although I would recommend they do it on the weekend
