There are several videos of recent C-119's making flights and am surprised its been under the radar here on wix.

This video states 2013 but am not sure. Anyhow, anyone know more about the situation in the video? Also it appears people on the end of the runway as the 119 overshoots the end?? Looks like it ran right over them! Don't mind the mindless people yelling and screaming in the background.

By the poor quality of the video (it's analog tape) and the front of the one Ford pickup near the camera, I'd say mid to late 90's. But it could be recent.

old video,
Hawkins and Powers used to land their 119s on sand bars to pick up loads of fish. As far as recent C-119s flying, the only one I know of that is somewhat capable of flight is Hans's in Buckeye, AZ, but last time I saw it is was starting to look very sad.
