Years ago, I had the absolute pleasure of flying from Asheville to Atlanta on a DC-3 with Southern Airways ...it may have been one of the last flights before they went under idk... But the flight attendant showed me to my seat and headed toward the cockpit and I never saw her again even after landing. I think I was the only passenger. I still to this day remember having to grab seat backs to climb up the aisle because I wasn't used to the steep up angle of the tail dragger design. But the take off and landing were very very smoothe. And also, I remember sticking both my legs all the way out in front of me without obstruction. It's a beautiful memory .
Mr. Celal Şengör loves thing plane. He used this plane when he only 5 years old with pilot. This moment is so special for him. We love you Celal Sengor
That pilot has a lot more patience than I'd have. The guy with the Blue shirt needs a "time out". Good to hear the sound from inside the cockpit. Thanks for the video!

How lucky can you get...looks like brand new old stock or some nifty after market glass for the cockpit. Have never seen them that bright and clear! A true revelation.

I flew the C-47 in Vietnam. The WORST problem I had with it was NOT in the air. It was on the ground, on landing, when the tail wheel lowered to the ground, as speed was reduced. IF the wind was coming from the rear (called a Rear Quartering tail wind) the vertical tail wound up acting like a HUGE "barn door". Now...under NORMAL operations....when one wants to turn left on the runway, one has to depress the left foot pedal. By doing that the vertical tail section swings to the left. But with that HUGH "barn door"swinging to the left, a rear, quartering tail wind from the right, HITS that barn door, and makes the aircraft pivot to the right, around its center of mass. In other words, it makes the aircraft TURN RIGHT! The fix: When the tail wheel lowers to the runway, one has to "bicycle" the foot pedals so one knows which way to depress them to get the "desired turn results". Many of our pilots joined the "garden club" because they did not know this curious quirk of the C-47.
Pilot , relax and easy while doing what is suppose to be doing masterfully . However the " co-pilot-cargo" needs a Xanax, desperately . Next time take a taxi is less stressful...🤣
Don't give the guy in the Right seat a hard time. They looked to be having a problem w/the Left Eng. Maybe during Mag Check. Kept miss firing one 1 Cylinder. Puff of smoke every once in a while. During taxing, he's watching the gauges. They maybe simple, but you still gotta fly them.
My first commercial flight was on an Allegheny Airlines DC-3. It turned me on to aviation. Subsequently, I was a crew chief on a Marine Corp Super R4d-8, which was the Corps supped up version of the C-47. Among other things it had a fully retractable landing gear. After I got my pilots license, which I did while I was in the Corps, the colonel would let me sit in the right seat and fly the airplane. It was a sweet machine to fly. I cannot imagine what it must have been like for the guys, mostly kids, that flew these airplanes over Nazi occupied Europe during WWII. They were sitting ducks!
Mitte der 50er Jahre bin ich damit von Hannover nach Berlin geflogen. Damals war ich 5 oder 6 Jahre alt. Beim Einsteigen oder nach dem Aussteigen, genau weiß ich das nicht mehr, durfte man damals noch in aller Ruhe um das Flugzeug herumgehen(!). Das tat ich natürlich und ich war vollkommen überwältigt von dem Eindruck. Aber weiß jemand wie scharfkantig das Höhenruder hinten bei diesem Vogel ist??? Jedenfalls befindet sich dieses Ding ganz hinten lediglich auf der Höhe eines Kindskopfes. Also, ich stieß mit meinem rechten Ohr dagegen und der Ohrknorpel tat danach noch stundenlang höllisch weh! Wenn ich heute nur daran denke, glaube ich den Schmerz immer noch wieder nachfühlen zu können.

I had the luxury of being allowed to fly "Right Seat" in one with this same paint scheme, as it was being delivered to its owner by the guy that renovated and rebuilt it for him.
I live in Indianapolis, so fun to to catch a glimpse of my hometown, the lake and the airfield. I have to agree with the comments about the co-pilot; he kinda got in the way of what little view is afforded by the cockpit windows. Haven't a clue where they landed. Next time they do a video, Mike, sit back and stop fiddling with everything.
Na década de 1960, antes de ser construído a Embraer, tinha um avião desse no aeroclube de São José dos Campos-SP, mas que era de uso militar. Conheci e tive amizade com o piloto, sargento Moser. Esse avião é um Douglas C47, a gente conhecia ele como avião correio e ele era mesmo muito usado para esse fim. Moser, dizia que era um bom avião mas que saculejava muito durante o vôo e vendo esse vídeo, pude comprovar isso. A côr dele, era de alumínio e o bico (ponta dianteira), era côr preta.

What kind of runway it is? It's green grassy runway! Nice one.Can a Boeing plane can kabd& take-off on such a grassy runway? Maybe this is from olden days!
What good is standing fire guard in front of the engine? If you get a fire on start-up it's going to come from the exhaust ! so correct position for fire guard is aft of the sngine near the exhaust (as taught by United States Airforce) if a fire comes out the exhaust , usually will blow out when the engine accelerates .
Obviously, just stop the opinions. I suppose none of you actually was type rated in the DC3-C47, or maybe flew the bird professionally. I was, I did, and have over 1500 hours PIC in the aircraft, and 800 as SIC. Just get over yourselves. Nice video!

Voei na minha infância a bordo de um DC 3 da Nacional Transporte Aéreo, minha mãe era Comissária de bordo !!! Que saudades !!!

C-47's LOVE the grass! They EVEN love the water. Believe it or not....THEY FLOAT!
What a fabulous plane
I think you've misattributed the CH-47 helicopter's buoyancy to the C-47
@@archimedesbird3439 No. They BOTH float. A C-47 ditched off the West Coast and it was, eventually, towed back to land.

Love the way they flied the old machine

Some one tell this co-pilot to sit back and relax (Ex crew chief C-47 Airforce)

Nice video, but the way they work in that cockpit scares me.

Not quite as irritating as a hornet in the cockpit.....but close...
What the hell is the co pilot fidigin so much for, chill out, relax, enjoy old school! plane is not that complicated!

I hope he explains what the co-pilot lost on the floor. That would drive me nuts.
Obviously, just stop the opinions. I suppose none of you actually was type rated in the DC3-C47, or maybe flew the bird professionally. I was, I did, and have over 1500 hours PIC in the aircraft, and 800 as SIC. Just get over yourselves. Nice video!

Why do they look like they're struggling to fly it?
This plane is actually registered as a DC-3.
Co pilot looks like auto rickshaw driver.

I don’t know if the the person on the right seat is a co- pilot or a check pilot because he is a distraction to the pilot, not allowed in the airline.
