Be nice if they can find a cargo hatch for it. I was stationed at Naval Air Station Keflavik in 1971 and the US Navy had a DC3 that they used to haul groceries back and forth to some microwave site on the north coast of Iceland. I recall it was the last navy aircraft with an enlisted pilot, a Chief Aviation Boatswain's Mate. It was also missing the cargo hatch. That is probably the same plane. We probably gave it to them when we closed the base. But I guess it didn't matter since the plane wouldn't go much over 100 kts anyway.
Boa noite !!!!!! O mais belo da história da Aviação. O barulho do motor é como música para os meus ouvidos. Lindo demais....... Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal. Abraço do Brasil......
I believe that if Donald Douglas were still alive today, he would probably be proud to know that thousands of examples of his DC-3, ALMOST 100 YEARS AFTER IT WAS DESIGNED, are still around all over the world earning their daily wage. like the old saying goes " The only thing to replace a dc-3 with is ANOTHER dc-3"
I wouldn't say there are thousands left but there are maybe a couple of hundred still flying or flyable. A few are still in revenue service but most are exhibition flyers.
Beautiful! Also the livery, and the engine-color! Why is this plane so much more appealing than other comparable planes, even like Curtiss C46 and Viking, Saab 90A and many more? proportions are more balanced I think.
@@uv-al I know what you mean, but I have to remember many people that comment are used to speed writing with their thumbs, using abbreviations that require a "special" online dictionary to decipher. I grew up in the '50s and '60s when we actually had to learn to spell, but it's a different world today. Correcting someone won't make them a better writer, and for me it's just not worth the effort.
hello Tobias Hallqvist, I'm admin of the modelkitindo channel, I ask permission to hanging this video on my channel as a teaser, and I will enclose your channel name on the video and link in description ... thank you
Wow! What a beautifully preserved plane. The colors are stunning. Good job!
God bless you Iceland! I flew Iceland Air in '87, but never expected this. Great job!
My first flight was in 1947 as a passenger on one of Captain Eddie's converted C-47s.
Amazing sound, you can hear the low base tone and the hum of the engine all at once.
Love it! Wish I was in the cockpit, awesome vibrations of engines

Excellent film footage and sound.
That's one good looking C-47.

Ich will so ein Flugzeug ️❤️❤️❤️
One door is missing.
Hello, I would like to buy one, can you help me, how much is it, how many people you can afford, and how many kilometers you travel
Hey your cargo door.......oh nevermind.!
Those are fresh engines.....only one vw beetle volume of smoke from either one....she is like new....lol
Wow, no door ? In Iceland?? Hope the pilot didn’t get hypothermia🌬❄️☃️
I like the colours of the the aircraft. And the sound on takeoff. Is there any wartime history of this particular aircraft?
now to flight
Pruttle & Wilny?
Why did he take off with the cargo door open?
Victor Nunez Because he were going to drop skydivers, so we dismantled the door to make it easier over drop zone
Great looking plane; But. don't all Is'land air planes have a bar in the back?
dude your fucking grammar is shit it should be
Great looking plane, but.. Don't all Icelandair planes have a back in the back?
