DC-7 video

Great video. Shows the amount of team work that it takes to fly one of these great birds. They talk the piece on the power recovery system that was mentioned a while back in another thread.

Great video! My fascination with the old prop-liners has grown over the last few years, and this video adds more fuel to the fire. I'm terribly jealous of Jeff and Sully! Oh to have unlimited funds...

Cool video
How many parts are their still around for planes like a dc-7b and do people make new parts to keep them in the air?

Hey Guys,

I am sure everybody saw the special on tv but just in case.

They used a dc-4 to replicate dropping the bouncing bombs. Very Very cool and you can watch it for free on the nova website.



And then while we're on the topic here is some footage of the real practice runs from wwII.
