JustPlanes spent a week in Alaska filming Trans Northern Aviation including 6 flights on there Douglas DC-3 "Super DC-3" This video shows parts of the flight from Anchorage to Iguiigug. The village is at the mouth of the Kvichak River with a population of around 50!

Other routes on the DC-3 are to King Salmon and a most interesting landing on a wet beach at Tsiu River. The 4 hour film also includes flights on the Metro III to Fairbanks and Beech 99 to Kenai and Homer.

The includes some amazing views with a GoPro mounted on the tail and a really cool view under the belly of the DC-3!

  • I flew from Kenai to Anchorage in a DC-3 in 1964 when I joined the Navy.
  • Such a great aircraft..got to fly on a private DC3 as a youngster..me and 2 pilots.. I was maybe 10 years old. Never forget it.....

    I absolutely LOVE the DC-3 and the DC-6!!! My favorites to fly in FSX.

    I flew the Super 3 in Canada for 5 years, a part based on Vancouver Island ( Sky freighters Ltd. as Chief Pilot 1996), the rest in the Arctic. Great a/c to fly. I loved it! Transnorthern has the one Super 3 I flew in Canada which was registered C-GGKG before its' export to Alaska. Hard to beat the sound of those large Wright engines! People in town use to love listening to our takeoffs with that deep thundering engine sound echoing through the valley.

    When i was a kid, just before dirt was created, the skies were full of DC-3 planes. You knew them by the sound and size. Great old planes

    Really cool to see a very old aircraft like this being flown. Gotta be honest though, it looks like a total pain in the ass to fly compared to modern airliners. But I'm sure it's a lot of fun to fly

    Good video.............................
  • p.s. Notice that the surface rivets are flush, hence a smooth skin. One big improvement.
