Douglas DC-4 Aerobatics Routine... yeah, you read that right

[RMAllnutt]

I don't know if you've seen this one before, but this video of a South African Air Force DC-4 airshow routine has got to be seen to be believed. I have never seen anything like it with a piston engined aircraft this size. Does anyone know anything more about this routine?

Cheers,
Richard

Was on an earlier post this week. However, only aerobatics I saw was an aggressive lazy 8.

OK tim and Kevin,
Why haven't you ever done this routine in the "Spirit of Freeedom"? You been holding out on the regulars? Kinda reminds me of our buddy Darrell.

Sorry about that... I completely missed that thread somehow, and thanks for the link. My enthusiasm got the better of me!

Great post Richard! Lazy 8 or not that DC-4 was upside down. Awesome.
