I wonder how many pilots are certified to fly the C-54, or how you would go about getting qualified. In the old days you did it thru a stint in the USAF. Looks like a plane that is fun to fly.

I was mechanic and flt. engineer on C-54's during the Korean War, 1950,51. Never a worry, loved the plane. Flew all over the Far East and in and out of Korea many times. Even North Korea once. TDY several times, Kimpo, Suwon, Taejon. Even remember the tail no. of my plane: 4272681. I'm 94 now. Wonder how many oil changes I have left. Don''t forget the Down Locks.

Why did they shut down #3 so quickly? Low oil pressure warning maybe?

Just bought the Revell 1:72 scale kit of this beautiful bird, and piece of aviation history, love the clag and tune of those engines ❤ although I will say that the union Jack is upside down on the left side of the fuselage, the broad white of St Andrew saltire cross is always above the red cross section of St Patrick's saltire cross in the canton as England and Scotland were unified before Ireland joined. But many thanks for uploading

With the modern fuels and newer engine components, such as gaskets, valves and even carburetors, should the engines still smoke so much?

I have liked C-97s since I was a kid. The shape of the fuselage always tripped me out because it is such a unique shape.

7:12 Many years ago I used to listen to those radio sounds when the planes passed by, I loved them when the ones with propellers flew like these DC-4 and C-54, or Rockwell commander, and others, and today I never heard them again, and now that I see this video gave me a lot of nostalgia when hearing these beautiful radio sounds. nice video and thanks for uploading it.

The C-97G used to fly into Van Nuys Airport during the 1960s. I lived in the flight pattern of the airport at that time when I was a boy. The airplanes landed over our house but when the Santa Ana Winds blew, they would take off over our house. I loved the sound of those Pratt and Whitney twin Wasp radial engines.
