@@flyerbob124 Many planes will not go into reverse thrust until the W.O.W. switch trips. Otherwise, 1 mistake and you're finished.
The Red Bull DC-6 is the second to last one ever produced and has quite an interesting history. It was officially owned by JAT (Yugoslav Airlines) and served as Yugoslav presidential plane, Yugoslav AF-1, of president Tito. It was donated to Zambia together with her sister ship to serve as presidential plane of president Kenneth Kaunda. After that it served as an airliner for some time. After a few years of service it was stored on the ground untill Red Bull discovered it, bought and painstakingly restored.

It’s gorgeous
Some of the most beautiful, stunning, and steady aircraft videography I've seen on KZread over the last 10-15 years! It was such a joy NOT to feel sea-sick thanks to camera vibration or poor tracking. And the detail covering each aircraft was both succinct yet detailed enough for me to go do some searching. I had no idea so many on 707 airframes had either the original engines or, on the flip side, been kitted out with some nice modern-looking engines. Just goes to show how a soundly-designed and built airframe can play the "axe head/axe handle" game for many decades, ha ha.

Thanks a lot for your kind comments and the kind support! We really appreciate it! The DC-6 is for sure an interesting and beatiful aircraft
the 747-SP is the infrared airborne observatory SOFIA, probably the most expensive and heavily modified non-military aircraft in the world. It has a 2.5 m telescope at the back that can track on a star in the sky with pixel accuracy during bumpy flight. It started service at Pan Am as the Clipper Lindbergh. Sadly now the mission is shutdown and the plane is awaiting conversion to a museum at Pima. I flew on it 24 times and will treasure those memories for my life.
The Turkish &$&-800 is a beauty too. Queen of the Skies
Eye glasses,. Headphones , hat and African lips r killing me. Love that plane. Will remember it for the rest of my life .. 🇰🇪🇺🇲👍
The Kuwait A340 with new engine are a beast
Watching it over and over again, and am still speechless regarding the quality of this video. Thanks again FRA Boys and Girls.
There is no such thing as an ugly plane, I'm glad I've never lost the wonder of these huge beasts taking flight, still miraculous.

Ich weiß nicht, wie ich Ihnen dafür danken soll, dass Sie dieses faszinierende Video all dieser Flugzeuge gepostet haben. Sie haben es wieder geschafft, mein Interesse zu wecken und mich vollkommen zu entspannen, während ich es genoss, diesen Giganten der Lüfte zuzuhören und zu sitzen. (English: I do not know how to adequately thank-you for posting this mesmerizing video of all these aircraft. You have again managed to capture my interest and cause me to completely relax as I enjoyed sitting and listening to these giants of the air.) I am so sorry to be commenting so late. Life has been very distracting, and it has taken me a couple of days to view the entire post. However, I am so glad that I stuck with watching. Because of being late to comment, I’ll keep my comment short and just point out a small bit of trivia, in the event you do not know it. Apart from replacing the original engines on the modified Boeing 707’s, it is easy to detect which aircrafts have been modified with hush kits. If you compare the E-3C at @17:02 with the E-8C at @ 18:32, look at the front of the engine nacelles. The E-3C has the hush kit, because part of the modification was the removal of the auxiliary air intakes, which are present on the E-8C. From what I read, the hush kits hampered the aircraft significantly when dealing with crosswind landings and takeoffs. There were other undesirable results, but I guess that it kept someone happy with a quieter engine. Again, thank-you so much. I am anxiously awaiting your next post.

Loved seeing the AC130J. I was on the Spectre AC130H model as shown in my profile. The C130 is the most versatile workhorse in the military aircraft industry. The Spectre was incredibly lethal. We had 14 combat crew, I think the AC130J is down to four (4) and fewer guns. We had the 20mm vulcans, 40mm bofor and 105mm howitzer! #Anytime, Anyplace 1st SoW

I flew many times on the C-118 (USAF version of DC6) and C-54 (USAF version of DC4) when I was stationed in the Air Force in Panama. They flew these in support of Military missions in Central and S. America. One route was called the Andes Run and it flew from Howard AFB, Panama to Lima, Peru; Santiago, Chile; Mendosa, Argentina; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Montevideo, Uruguay, Aacension, Paraguay; and Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. It took four days of flying to get from Panama to Brasil and required flying through mountain passes in the Andes Mountains between Santiago, Chile and Mendosa, Argentina.
