Subscribe here ➤goo.gl/2tM0Yd Welcome onboard the world's ONLY remaining airworthy Lisunov Li-2, the Soviet licenced Douglas DC-3! Step back in time as we board a historic Ikarus 55 bus, taking us accross Apron 1 at Budapest International Airport, to meet HA-LIX, a Li-2T built in 1949 in Factory 84 in Uzbekistan. Board the airplane with us, find your seat just behind the cockpit, and listen to the Shvetsov ASh-62 radial engines start up! Enjoy a quick taxi to the runway followed by a powerful takeoff taking us overhead river Danube for a sightseeing flight, enjoying a spectacular view of Budapest's main attractions. Listen to the engines spooling down as we start to descend for landing back at Budapest Intl, and enjoy a short cockpit visit before returning to the terminal. Many thanks to Goldimer Foundation and LKK for their great initiative offering such once-in-a-lifetime experience to the general public, and especially to those who appreciate aviation history, even during this difficult times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Li-2 sightseeing flights usually depart from Budaörs airport, however due to the low traffic situation at Budapest, LHBP was used this time instead.
