Fairbanks Alaska based Brooks Fuel operated fabulous DC-4 piston pounders on Alaska cargo re supply flights. Videographer Chris Mak filmed a typical re supply flight between Fairbanks and Tanana Ralph M Calhoun Memorial Airport with fuel and empty back to Fairbanks in 2007. And we are pleased to feature the full 40 minute video at JetFlix TV.

RIP gentlemen, I’m sure you did everything within your capabilities to keep that bolt bucket airborne. It was clear from the ATC that you were not expecting half of the left wing to explode 1,000 feet from the ground. I hope that some good, if any, comes in the way of DC-4/DC-6/DC-7 operators out there tightening things up in the maintenance hangar. These men were brave as hell flying that plane, and will not be forgotten. 🙏

Thank you for this very fitting acknowledgment to the sad fate of this beautiful DC-4. The accident happened just a few weeks ago I believe.. and I agree may the pilots rest in peace🙏🙏🙏.

Sad fact: this was the same dc-4 that crashed right after takeoff on 4/23/24, it was caused by an engine explosion. Unfortunately all 2 crew on board died in the crash..

@JetFlix 4 месяца назад

Yes, very sad indeed that this accident happened … claiming this wonderful aircraft and its crew. Our thoughts are with the families at this very difficult time and we send our sympathies and condolences to everybody that knew them … and their families🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have worked on the DC4 for many years as an engineer assistant. Love these old girls 😍

You’re very lucky to work on these piston pounders. The last time I flew on a DC-4 was with Buffalo Airways in the mid 90s, so it’s been a few years for me.

I lived in Fairbanks from 1990 until 2003, working as an A&P for Frontier Flying Service on the other side of the airport from Roger's operation. I knew Jeff pretty well he was always at Frontier borrowing parts lol

@JetFlix 3 года назад

Did Frontier Flying Service operate DC-3s? I think I recall seeing on at the DC-3 Armada at Abbotsford in summer of 1986.

@Agislife1960 3 года назад

@@JetFlix Back in the 80's before I lived in Alaska they had three DC-3's, but in the 90's they only had one DC-3 N59314

Very sadly

@danking9532 5 месяцев назад

This is the same plane that just crashed on 4/23/24, killing both the pilot and co-pilot. It had a catastrophic engine failure in the #1 engine. It crashed shortly after takeoff into a bluff on the Tanana River. Rest in Peace to the crew members.

So sad, absolutely tragic. This work is ultimately very dangerous at the plane was doing and our hearts go out to all those that were involved in this operation especially those who perished and their families.
