N18121 a Douglas DC-3A is Taking Off on a Training Flight out of Aurora Airport in Oregon on September 28th, 2018. While on the take off roll, the engine backfired and visible flames can be seen on the right engine. FUN FACT, I actually flew on this DC-3A as a passenger from Miami to Key West on April 6th 1988 as she was flying for Eastern Express with the registration N136PB | 🛑Subscribe here ➤bit.ly/VMCAviationVideos

Being a gearhead and motorcycle enthusiast, I never fail to marvel at these big radial engines coming to life! They are a huge ballet of pistons, rods, and valvetrain doing their thing!

Phenomenal video!!! Like you I have flown on this gorgeous lady several times. Both as passenger and a few times as flight attendant while working for Provincetown-Boston Airline/Naples Airlines Division as MIA Station Manager in the early 70'sn when she was N136PB. Even back then she was the highest time aircraft flying. She even made the trip from Aurora, OR to Normandy, France a couple of years ago for the D-Day celebrations. She is still going strong even at 84 years old! She is my favorite individual aircraft of all time.

She is a beauty. I flew on her in April 1988 from Miami to Key West when she was Eastern Express N136PB.

I worked for the USPS ATO at Chicago Midway Airport in the early '70's . One of the mail planes was a C-47 flown by Basler Airlines. The loading of that plane was a nightly event, but it never became just routine. I used to love standing next to it when it started and watch the flames roll out of the exhaust pipes. My shift was at night, and when it would take off and fly over head you could see a steady blue flame from each exhaust pipe.

I was one of the last pilots to fly the dc-3 in scheduled passenger operations 1976-1979. i was also a DC-3 instructor and check airman for our commuter airline. I notice this DC-3 has Wright R-1820 9 cylinder engines, where most had the 14 cylinder Pratt & Whiney R-1830, as did mine. No deicing boots and no weather radar and a 4 piece windshield where mine had 2 panes. I flew 1,000 hours in the DC-3 and it helped get me to United Airlines where I flew for 29 years.

@VMCAviationVideos Год назад

The DC-3 flew much longer than that in scheduled passenger operations, just not with a major airline.

@barryervin8536 Год назад

It has Pratt & Whitney emblems on the cowlings, and the cowlings look more like R-1830 to me?

@eonmichaelides1415 4 месяца назад

Well,the cowlings sport the P&W logo, so I don't know where the Wright engine idea came from,and the windscreen is definitely 2 piece,missing the small DV windows that were standard when the aeroplane was built.

I lived with this airplane during its time (10 years) in overhaul at Pearson Field, Vancouver, WA. It was parked at our museum there, once the wings went back on. Bob Irvine the owner at the time, flew Air Force F4's in Vietnam and a Hawker Hurricane that was restored by the Neil Rose, also at Pearson. Bob helped the new owner at Aurora airport ready the airplane for its participation in the D-Day re-enactment in England and France last year, and flew it as PIC. Unfortunately, Bob suffered a stroke recently, and is slowly recovering. I played a small role in recovering its passenger interior from a DC 3 donated by Hughes Airwest on display at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry in Portland, and converting that airplane to its former C47 livery, now a gate guard at the Spruce Goose museum in Mcminnville, Oregon.

@flashesofblack4128 Год назад

When I look at the engines driving the propellors, I have to think the engines motor mounts not only have to pull the airplanes hull forward, they have to be robust enough to withstand the engines tremendous torque. If the motor mount were to fail I would think that the engine would careen forward until it falls from the sky.

@bingosunnoon9341 Год назад

This is afterfire, not backfire. It is normal for this engine. I worked on many of them after tech school. Afterfire prevents backfire. It goes away once the throttles are reduced to climb power.

I heard of a training flight of a DC-3, where on takeoff, the instructor demonstrated the increase in power when water injection was enabled. Both engines promptly EXPLODED, causing an 'unplanned landing' in a nearby river. Analysis of the crash, showed that ground crew had filled the water tanks with glycol instead.

@tedsmith6137 3 года назад

Must have been a Wright Cyclone powered DC-3. The P&W R1830 did not have water injection.

Here's the translation : I thought it was cool to go to Canavieiras airport, in the 50's to the 60's, to see the landings and takeoffs of similar ones of this DC-3, from Cruzeiro do Sul coming from Rio de Janeiro to Salvador, from where it returned in the afternoon. There was also Panair do Brasil, which operated with aircraft identical to the one in the video, covering the same route.

@cootumrebel 3 года назад

The right engine didn't "backfire"; those old radial engines were always belching fire because of short exhaust pipe. More noticeable at night. :-)

@tomasbengtsson5157 3 года назад

You are right about the short exhaust and the flames at night, but that's not what's happening here. You can hear during engine startup that at least one cylinder on the right engine isn't firing. When you apply power during the takeoff run it blows un-burnt fuel through the exhaust and the fumes ignite outside the engine. You can also hear a momentary power loss when this happens. Probably the pilot countering the assymetric thrust. The pilot was probably well aware of the problem since this would normally have been a rejected takeoff.

@alexandrereis1393 3 года назад

@@tomasbengtsson5157 yeah, when I saw it, I tought that would be a RTO situation, but they proceeded to takeoff anyway!
