Front Row Seat In A Douglas C-47!

What a Lovely Old Bird!

This video captures the legendary C-47 taking to the skies once again—and what a sight it is. There’s something special about seeing this classic warbird in action, especially without the usual ATC chatter. Just the deep, rhythmic hum of those props… pure aviation music.

Hats off to the team responsible for keeping this iconic aircraft flying. The C-47 looks immaculate—so well maintained it could be mistaken for a brand-new classic straight from the factory. You can tell it’s in the hands of folks who truly care.

That landing was a treat too—those trees looked a little close for comfort, but it was handled beautifully. These old planes have a presence that modern aircraft just can’t match.
