The majority of Douglas C-54 "Skymasters" were built at the Douglas-Chicago plant during WWII which was located at the northeast corner of the present-day Chicago O'Hare Field airport. Curiously, after the war many surplus parts and machinery from the Chicago facility were purchased by Canadair Ltd. of Montreal, Quebec for building the Canadair DC-4M "North Star" which used Rolls Royce Merlin engines versus the typical Pratt & Whitney R-2000s used on the American built "Skymaster." Very informative tour of a C-54/DC-4. Thanks for sharing!
In the early 80s, I flew in a Skymaster with a friend of mine whose dad was a reserves pilot. It was in pax config. So lucky.
my family flew back from england in 1959 on a c-154 MATS to newfoundland than to nestor idlewild. i was only 12 but still remember going in the cockpit.
Thanks for the very informative video of a great plane
GREAT videos 👍
LOVE the prop planes. 👍
Excellent video love these old prop liners have flown on a DC6 belonging to Balair back in the mid seventies,quite an experience 👍
Thanks for the tour
Thanx!
Thanks, Paul, I learn so much I did not know about older planes from your videos, keep up the great work and look forward to the day you will be able to dazzle us with your international flight reviews again.
WOW! love it must go see!
Another banger! I love watching you and James Asquith, both of you released the same day. I'm happy.
I had a mate work on this aircraft when it was based at Archerfield QLD as a volunteer. It said it was in a shocking condition and had been damaged by freight work. I remember seeing it take off from Brisbane airport once and it's climb rate was so slow I thought something must have been wrong with it. Glad to see it is out of commercial service and will get the TLC it needs.
Great video I sometimes see an old SAA DC4 flying over my house in Johannesburg 👍 thanks Paul
Well, this brings back memories. As a 12-year-old, I flew in one of these from Labuan Island (Borneo) to Sydney by myself. My family was living in Brunei in the late '50s & I had to return to NZ for schooling & this was the only way I could get back there was a QANTAS DC-4 flight from Hong Kong To Sydney with fuel stop at Labuan. Otherwise, it was flying to Singapore, o/night stay & catch a flight to OZ that way which was not a real option.
The flight was a passenger/cargo flight with about 10 seats down the back with a flight attendant & the normal flight crew. Meals were served as well as in-flight entertainment in the form of a slide show by the male flight attendant. Fuel stop in Darwin & then non-stop to Sydney. The aircraft from memory was called Island Trader & the last I heard was it is still flying for Buffalo Airways in Canada.
Such a beauty!
What a beautyfull plane, like the super constellation, i love this time, With prop. airliners
hey paul.....always enjoy your videos.....we lived out near the denver airport...it was being built when we moved there...its my favorite
Another great aircraft video mate. By now I assume you are an honorary member of the HARS marketing department!
Excellent work as always.
Hi Paul thanks for another great video!
Very interesting structural overview of the DC4 Paul. Made me remember my parents travelling to Norfolk Island on a Qantas DC4. Being unpressurised they could be rather uncomfortable if the weather was unfavourable. Plus on their return my mother needed oxygen as they were travelling at maximum altitude (oxygen was getting thin)! From memory I think the Qantas crew informed passengers that oxygen was available if needed...those were the days😂 I believe the last DC4 flight to Norfolk Island was 1977. Cheers, Mate.👍
Must get back to HARS, haven't been since before the 747 took residence, good video thanks Paul.
I did know that plane existed very cool
A fascinating video as usual Paul. Happy Saturday!
Paul, you've created a new genre of flight channels and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Most I've seen by others are too technical, making them tedious to watch. Yours, however, are straight forward and I particularly like your (using my verbiage), "What the hell is that thang?" method of identifying and providing a good, layman's explanation.
I'll still ride along when you do fly in the future, but I also look forward to more explanations of the lumps, bumps, protrusions and thing-a-ma-jigs found all around an aircraft. Having that information gives me more insight into how planes get us from "A to B."
Great vlog Paul
Thanks Paul. Very informative 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I was just there yesterday!
Great informative video Paul . Like you I’m a HARS follower and I can’t praise it highly enough . A unique experience and World Class . Hope all is going well in the Top End , can you send some of the weather down this way . Cheers 👍
Wow dc 4
Wow Davis Monthan that's the air Force base near me and my Uncle works there. That's Awesome. Is it in the Bone Yard now?
Great research and information! Its hard to fathom how these aircrew navigated around with just ADF. I may have missed it in the video, but I would guess these old birds would need pilot, copilot, engineer and navigator to keep up with it all.
And There Is One At The TWA Hotel At JFK Airport!
Great video that explained many questions that I ask about all the fittings on a plane. BUT what kind of idiot who would give this a Thumbs Down rating?
The internet is full of idiots :)
Engine C-54 same C- 47 or not
Whats happening Paul Stewart. subbed just of the name
I think many C54s were converted to DC4s after WW2.
Apparently that DC-4 is going to be made flightworthy again
That would be great to see it up in the air, especially in the Qantas livery
I would put my hand up for a flight say to Canberra or Brisbane.
HARS is planning on it.
P3 sub buyer air planed DC 4 air plan 5 a daily radar plane used for cargo take off everything else
Death-trap
