Spike!

I miss him.

We sure miss you Bob!!!

Why is there no sound??

My favorite pianist.Miss him.

A wonderful reading of a beautiful poem

Beautiful

The Corsair 57 was originally owned by LCDR, Cook Cleland. Cleland was the winner of the 1947 and 1949 Thompson Trophy Races. Cleland owned several Corsairs which he kept at his airport in Willoughby, Ohio. 57 was one of several Corsairs that were left at the airport when he returned to active duty in 1951. The word SOHIO on the plane was from a sponsor Standard Oil of Ohio. Nostalgia for me to see Bob flying this plane in this beautiful tribute video.

I remember Steven performing in Diligentia Den Haag Holland. All very impressing.....,the man with the iron fingers,...what a strong touch he had,but..yet....everything under control!!!!!! He was a phenomenon in his own right. Where did he get that amazing controlled fortissimo from? Not from Rudolf Serkin,although the latter was a hard task master either! If I'm informed rightly,he died of the consequences of a plain crash in his own machine? A legendary pianist!!!!

This is an amazing song and an excellent tribute to an incredible aircraft!

Sir, I am part of the crew that now maintains and flies Race 57. I can assure you, we'll keep flying her in honor and memory of Bob, the man who brought her back to life. Almost 10 years ago, we the warbird community lost a precious aircraft in Race 74, and a good man in Bob Odegaard. For the memory of both, Race 57 will keep flying.

What a wonderful, inspiring person,phenomal video thank you so much for sharing God bless him.

I met Steven at a music festival in Lausanne Switzerland shortly after he won the Van Cliburn. He was simply one of the most incredible pianists and musicians I had ever had the privilege of meeting and seeing work up close. What an astonishing talent and such a decent fellow to boot! I was so sad to hear he had passed away. Does anyone know if it was the injuries from the plane crash that caught up with him and did him in?? Thank you for posting this!

no sound..................

Wow !! This was excellent. Don’t even know where to begin. Great job by everybody here and Mike is in a league of his own on that guitar. Love it !!!

Wonderful video. Proud team obviously. Where was test flight??

An angel of the piano. ☄

Those are amazing planes ✈️

Why are they cranking the propellers before starting engines?

This was such a pleasure to watch. I saw Steven De Groote perform when I was attending the University of Redlands, not long after he won the Van Cliburn Competition. It was many years before I heard a recital that I enjoyed as much as his. He was absolutely unbelievable. During the concert, a string broke on the piano. He finished the piece he was playing, reached inside the piano, yanked out the broken string, and continued his recital as if it was no big deal. Thank you Alan for posting this.

Viewed this again and no volume whatsoever. My equipment is fine and operable.

Keep the 47s flying !!

DC-3s with their small seating and cargo capacity have surprisingly big wing-span. Another noteworthy feature is that by the time DC-3s were designed and built the shape of modern passenger planes as regards their wing and tail fin shape and placement, engine placement etc had become standardised and haven't changed since then. Only very minor variations are seen in these.

Guess that's why it's called a test flight. I got quite a few rides in one like this (owned by Dominion Helicopters) when I worked on mineral exploration. A real adventure for a lad just out of college. They could lift a suprising load in the net, but we over did it a few times too. Always felt safe

Great footage and a beautiful old Gooney Bird but I am confused as to why it looked like there were two different aircraft? While the paint is the same @5:11 the Tail and nose numbers are different.

Se ora si può viaggiare in tutto il mondo, inchiniamoci a questa macchina che ha creato il mito dell'aviazione civile!! OK?

The plane that takes off is number 30, the one in flight and approaching is number 53, number 30 land and taxi.

C'est vraiment un bel avion... mythique... 😊

Thanks for posting Alan, good memories. Lucky we are still too young to get nostalgic over this though! :)

O melhor avião de todos os tempos.

I love this airplane!

I remember the DC3 as a boy in western Sydney, Australia in the 60's. They flew out of Mascot airport and were at about 8,000 ft as they passed over me often working hard against prevailing westerlies. They were used for 30 years or so on mail and passenger runs to rural and remote communities before being replaced by turboprop aircraft or even in a few cases converted to turboprop. The Australians called them biscuit bombers because they were used to supply food to troops in New Guinea in WW2. A great aircraft.

What happened to the audio for this video?

The cycle damper need setting it’s very twitchy in hover

Love this song>>>>>>bring your instruments to the lake.....PLEASE!!!!!

I just found your channel. You are FANTASTIC!!!!! I had no idea that all this musical was part of you! Make more videos please...I love your voice!!!!!

El poderoso C_47Douglas

THESE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. THE SOUND OF THOSE ENGINES, MUSIC TO MI EARS

Un antes del Douglas DC-3 / C-47 y un después de este legendario avión . Símbolo del triunfo del hombre en la joven ciencia aeronáutica , la más joven y la de más rápido progreso !!!

3:05

I spent two days waiting for just one more person to sign up for a ride on this airplane, it didn't happen. That was probably my last chance to ride a C-47/DC-3.

Thank you so much for this visual delight!! My dream would be to one day (again) fly in one of these! I did in the late '60's from Halifax to Les Iles du Madeleine & recall the distinct CLIMB I had to do to get to the front row seats! I remember jokingly grabbing the head rests of the isle seats to pull myself up to the next row! ^_^ Cheers from Canada!
