That's All, Brother Restoration and First Flight 

What a great group of people to put this much work into keeping these Old Birds flying!!!! Thank you

Goosebumps after hearing the history of this plane. Holy crap.

Absolutely magnificent people... Thank you for saving it. Who would have EVER guessed that the lead plane still existed. Thank you Basler for two things....keeping the DC-3 flying for the next decades and generations to come...and arranging a deal to keep this one preserved with radials. One day i hope to board this historic aircraft.

Fantastic to see the aviation community come together and get this airplane back in the skies, recognized, and appreciated for what it is. 👍

C-47's and DC-3's are just so graceful in flight.

Beautiful aircraft! Hope she flies forever.

I had the privilege of jumping from "That's All Brother" recently.. and I've got to say, the CAF did a remarkable restoration job..

Great video of an even greater aircraft. Lots of history there. She looks amazing. You all are to be congratulated for all your hard work put into this piece of living history.

I was a flight engineer on the C47s usaf in the 60s grand old aircraft

My first flight was in a C-47. I got a hop from Langley AFB, Virginia, to Randolf AFB in Texas. It was a smooth flight. I stretched out and went to sleep.

I've been lucky enough to fly in one of these grand old ladies, and there is nothing else like it. Their big wings make for a smooth flight, and gave them relatively short field take off and landing qualities. I hope she makes it to Normandy and back safely, and remind everyone who sees her of all the sacrifices made during that war. Keep in mind that nearly all the countries involved in World War II flew the D.C. 2 or 3 variants, including Japan and Russia. They were the world's airplane of that era!

Fantastic plane! Thanks for sharing, and greets from the Netherlands!

Glad that it was saved and restored! Now for the pathfinders that went before it to show the way!

Thank you for saving this great aircraft

This Gooney bird is the toughest plane ever made, and its built by Douglas Aircraft

Le C-47 reste toujours l' avion le plus mythique de l' histoire et c' est un plaisir de voir voler un ou deux en France! Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo... Un abonné français passionner...

What a beauty! Thank's to all who saved her!

Absolutely great!

Wonderful... a testament to Douglas Aircraft.

Thank you Brother.

Great job guys 👏👏👏👏

Amazing!

I look forward to seeing it in the UK next year along with another 30 or so DC-3s/C-47s

Wonderful Thank you CAF, Basler, and all the donors and volunteers 👍

I remember seeing this plane wasting away at Basler when I was going to school at Fox Valley Tech. I’m glad they didn’t touch it.

I hope the plane gets there. I would LOVE to watch that in RU-vid.

Probably my most prized material possession is # 76 D-Day / Tockr watch ...

God bless all who revives such a proud American legend. I'm very sure this very airplane also participated gloriously in Operation Vittles (Berlin Airlift) in 1941 and Operation Magic Carpet (1949) before fading into oblivion.

What fantastic job done C-47 Skytrain , one interesting thing I found out is that during World War 2 that C-47 didn't have safely belts for the aircrew, it could be because of flying low and in event they had to bale out of their C-47 due to damage they didn't have to wrestle with seat belts to get out quickly.

My uncle jumped with the 82nd on D-Day...He made it to the 19th KIA.

This plane spent a while hangared at my school in Tulsa getting some work done. When the Wild Kat isn't occupying that space, that is.

I got the goose bumps

Just saw the bird yesterday in San Macros, TX. Jan 2019

A historical treasure. Nice that they saved it!!

i used to fly fires in dc3s and dc4s

Just went and saw this plane (along with two other C-47's) in Atlanta at a WWII convention

Thank you, she's beautiful

great to see them protect their history

I love that aircraft *__*

A bunch of C-47s were on route to Normandy for the memorial and they stopped in a town over from me and I went to see em

The C-47 is the 65 Mustang of the skies.

It flew on my birthday :)

I like old Airplanes like the Boeing b 17 or the Boeing b 29.

What percentage is original to the aircraft vs replaced/remade? I often look at the Memphis Belle at Wright-Patt and wonder how much of the original Memphis Belle am I looking at.

I’ve seen Thats all brother in an air show the next town over

Is the intro horn the horn from rome: total war menu soundtrack just pitched down?

I wonder if Basler holds onto all the parts they remove during conversions?

Will "That's All Brother" be repainted in his original colors and markings?

Narrator says, "It will look exactly as it did on D day" and ends up looking nothing like it would have on D-day.

I went flying on this plane a week or two ago

I do hope they do make it look like it was on D-day. Invasion stripes need to be crudely hand painted on and the OD colors faded. I do like the way Dayton did the Memphis Belle, good example to follow.

Another version of Plane Savers!

Long live the DC3 👍👍💯

It may not look exactly like it did on D-Day, but it will represent a piece of history and that's what people will remember. They are not going to remember if there is painting on it that wasn't there on D-Day, they are not going to remember if it says "Dog sat here?" Think positive...

Someone should make a flying RC version of this DC 3-4.

Literally the first vehicle carrying the first men to d-day

My EAA chapter is talking about restoring a C-47. Where could we find training and documentation on how to restore this aircraft?

can you guys turn your notifications on please

Was there any FLAK damage?

Is this dc-3 N88874

Go Screaming Eagles and the 502nd

Will "Thats all Brother" be taking part in the "Daks over Normandy" flight?? Be cool if she could lead that too

Fucking beautiful, excuse my FRENCH.

No GPS back then. Think of the pressure the navigator was under.

When the Confederate Air Force caved-in to being PC to the "Commemorative" My support left....

Rosie red mascot good guy

Why does it have a P-51-like rudder fin at 0:42?

The reason it was the lead plane the name “that’s all brother” meant d-day will be the turning point of WWII and stop Hitler

Can someone pls explain the color scheme she is currently wearing? Are the silver parts replaced sections so you see what is original and what is new or is this just a publicity scheme?

They changed the paint job so it looks more like the d day one I have a video on my youtube channel he video was taken in that’s all brother

Cool X 1,000

I thought they usually leave the landing gear down on the first flight.

Whilst not wishing to detract one whit from this marvelous project, nor the brave men whom it carried into battle, please allow me to correct you on one point. D Day was not 'begun' by the American paratroop drop. The first Allied troops to see action on D Day were British Glider Borne troops, who attacked and took Pegasus Bridge. I'm a proud Englishman, irked somewhat by the fact that you seem not to appreciate the many hundreds of thousands of British and Canadian soldiers who fought alongside you on D Day, as your brothers in arms. Just a little reminder.

its a D-C3 the C-47 is only commercial passenger versions

The name That's All Brother was addressed to Hitler. How appropriate for the Screaming Eagles

Lead the main airborne force. Pathfinders went first.

I love what these guys did, but that livery should be a war crime.

For all the seeker challenged commenting on this page, the plane is finished in the original scheme. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pUU-W6ydhIE.html I wish I could have made a jump from one of these birds.

I believe they have it wrong it's not a DC-3 it's a DC-6 because Buffalo airways Buffalo Joe has majority of them that all flew on D-Day and he still runs them as cargo planes so they're incorrect it's not a DC-3 it's a DC-6 because it was the DC-6 that were running Normandy and all that so they're actually incorrect on the make and model of the plane and I would stand behind Buffalo Joe any day because he owns a total of 30 of them each one flew on D-Day and three of them were the main ones that the paratroopers jumped out of and I have conflicting feelings about this because they're claiming this one was the main lead but yet when you go to Buffalo Joe's Buffalo airway videos recently they show that the DC-6 on the anniversary that American troopers went over there and jumped out of it they say that was the lead plane So which one is it?

Who's idea was it for that paint job?

Thanks EAA for saving a very important plane from our common western World history ❤

actually thats not the plane that was in the lead, i was flying another C47 that night and i was about 200 yards ahead of this plane. But anyways

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians

Why the stupid wrap....SHOULD BE IN DDAY PAINT !!!!

Shame the plane has lost all its character.. wouldnt it of been nice to clean it and repair it but keep its authenticity.. specially with its history.

Why the F is it in vietnam color sheme? Thats a disgrace.

why spoil this peace of history by putting all that crap on the side..making it look nothing like the original configuration..the name alone and the publicity would have sufficed ..

And sorry to say you have ruined it by painting it in such a ridiculous way you can't have it all ways should have painted it as the d day aircraft the colours it was an AC 47 was it ? But to paint it both ways mmmmmmm

They should have left France under Belgian rule. Same language,different outlook entirely. Belgians actually have a work ethic,and abhor politicians in office more than one year. The french people never really fully appreciated the efforts made on their behalf,and actually requested the removal of their wartime saviors remains,because the reminder of their foolishness was too much. Paris now looks like the opening scenes of "Idiocracy" !!!

Save the warbirds stop flying them
