Video from the channel AirplanesHelicopters about Douglas DC-3, linked on its Above Ten Thousand entry. Duration: 4:30. Video type: Air show.

Display of a Lisunov Li-2, the Soviet version of the Douglas DC-3, at an air festival at a Bucharest airport. The event's announcer comments in Romanian on the day's program: children's activities, autograph signings by the pilots, and the static display of the Air Force and the guests, including an F-16.

The Li-2 takes off and performs turns and flypasts, while the announcer notes that it is a 1930s aircraft in which every maneuver demands patience and attention. On landing it touches down first on the front wheels and keeps the tail raised until the speed drops. The commentary closes by contrasting this generation of aircraft with current fighters such as the Eurofighter or the Rafale.
