Crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a 1930s Airliner

For casual reading material on this airplane (for the off-duty relief pilots), I would suggest anything written by Ernie Gann. "Island in the Sky", "The High and the Mighty", etc. What a beautiful airplane!

Is there heat from the engine? Oil/Air heat exchange?

I've always had fond feelings for the DC-3, I suppose because my initial experience with the airplane occurred in 1945, when I was three and I flew in a Panagra DC-3 with my parents from Santiago, Chile to America. (My Dad was a mining engineer who worked in the Kennecott Copper mine in Sewell, Chile, the world's largest underground mine and very important to the war effort - they set a record of, I think, 83,000 tons in one day for the war.) I have no idea of the route - I am sure I spent almost all the time sleeping. The next time I flew in a DC-3 was in 1963, from Frankfurt to Hamburg. It was so tiny after crossing the Atlantic in a Douglas passenger jet.

My Dad flew a C47 from England to N. Africa during WWII. Unescorted with the 60th troop carrier group.

I admire peple that restore airplanes and fly them. But crossing the Atlantic is something outstanding. Congratulations!

Я восхищаюсь людьми, которые ремонтируют самолеты и летают на них. Но пересечение Атлантики - это нечто выдающееся. Поздравляю!

Those wing and tail cameras don’t do the plane justice due to distortion from their wide angle lenses. Why didn’t you use camera drones?

Nice captions

Amazing that it had a colour LCD screen in 1930 from factory

Nix the music. No one wants to hear the repetitive crap. Nice views never before seen.

Good video, but doesn't need the background music. Super annoying.

Ditch the “music” please

I don't get how it's crossing the Atlantic if you're just going to Canada? And how is it a 1930s airliner if the plane is from 1945?

What a cool plane!

That background music is totally unnecessary. It does nothing but interfere with being able to listen to what is going on. Lose it! For now BIG THUMB DOWN and you lost me. Bye

I couldn’t think of anything cooler than this.

My grandpa flew these over the Hump through Aluminum Alley from India to China. And somehow, here I am. A miracle. He had a killer mustache.

the cockpit looks more advance than the original version, seems like they re-designed and fitted some new gadgets in that

God. The music killed thisvideo

I flew on the DC-3 a lot on PBA Air (Provincetown, Boston Air) back in the 70s and early 80's when I was a kid. I loved it. So fun bc it flew about 9K feet above the bay with just a canvas net for the door so you could really see stuff.

Amazing video but I'll only watch a bit if it has music or a beat on the back. Really would like to hear the takeoff without it!

Got a little teary eyed seeing the copilots t shirt. I enjoyed working for DH many zillions of years ago.

“Imagine flying one of these with no hearing protection at all” …

“What’s that ?”

There are few things better than watching two skilled individuals exercising their passion with precision. Let alone the discipline and work to achieve this potential and capture the opportunity to experience what our aviator predecessors set for a bar of ability.
Salutations for being the capable pilots you all are. Being the entire plane and powerplant intellect.

Mmmm so PMDG own a DC3, makes it the perfect aircraft for their next after the 777 then. 😜😜

so it's not a 1930s airliner and you didn't cross the Atlantic? why clickbait? lol

Just came across your video I have a few good photos of you guys at Prestwick.

Imagine a 1930s or 40s plane flying across the Atlantic ocean today. Unbelievable.... My van of 20 years i dare not travel over the states with it.

The annoying music was just so unnecessary

So sad, that since they were landing in another Country, they were unable to converse with the waitress. and..... make like is is her fault. So sad, so yank.

another quality unintentional asmr video

Two of these fly regularly from Bahamas to South Florida. Always like seeing it land, it looks so different in the sky. One of them took part in D-Day.

Quel dommage qu’une horrible musique de fond pollue ce beau reportage !

Video colour editing is so bad lol

Off that centre line.

The window in the bathroom is so cool

My stepdad flew for the RAF starting in 1942. He flew many aircraft in his time and later on in the 1970's and 80's, he flew Goony Birds, during the the Escobar years. "Wink wink." I was just a kid at the time. I was always terrified whenever we left the ground but he assured me that the DC 3 was as solid as a plane as they've ever made. The one thing that I'll never forget was the sound. It was very distinct and there was something comforting about it. RIP....William "Bill" Robert Evans. Major RAF.

You were are true badasss. Thank you for teaching me to fly!

Montréal is my home city 😅😁

fantástico!

Very impressive. Would love to sit up front.

Lindbergh feeling.

That background music tho 🙄

Flying on this beauty across the ocean. Yes please. Flying again with it next month from Amsterdam to Groningen.

I must be old. I remember riding DC3s as a paying passenger via regional airline.

A real rich kids hobby
