I have used the Douglas DC-3 in the past for hurricane animal rescue. I’d like to work on using it again, and having it ready to be used when needed. I only have one general general fund set up for helping to defray costs in producing these videos, and getting dog rescue flights set up. Eventually I would love to combine DC-3 dog rescue flight along with YouTube videos of the trip. I’ve got a long way to go but it is a start.
To date, I have never accepted any money for making YouTube content. The truth is that I truly enjoy making these videos AND doing animal work at the same time. But boy it has become crazy time consuming!
Help me with costs if you can, and if not – it is totally cool. If I produce a video that you learned from and it helped you, then consider a very small donation to the effort that won’t hurt you in any way. If you like the Dog Rescue idea you can help be a part of that if you want.
I am working on getting a web site set up (www.AirborneAnimalRescue.org) that will give more information on that soon.
I have four secure accounts set up that all go directly to Airborne Animal rescue, but the truth is that I am going to use the financial help for both causes as needed, more aviation accident videos, and animal rescue flights. If you do decide to help, please keep your donation very small and only if you learned from what I produced, and it helped you.
Thank you! – Dan

dan im perplexed about twin engine crashes. how did loss of power in one engine lead to recent incidents?
Dang it Dan! Darn you anyway! (fishing for a hateful heart 🙂
You are a asset to the aviation community… Your damn right we all learn something from your videos. Right or wrong, I can count on the fact that if you're wrong about something you will be the first to admit it. No ego involved…. Im not a pilot but love every video. Keep up the good work. YOU ARE, AND HAVE ALREADY SAVED LIVES.
AK has a number of caravan crashes that dont make sense for the most part until you learn that several operators had hartzell props go into reverse thrust during power reductions in after maintenance runups. The mechanics dont report this and the faa ntsb dont find it out. However it would explain these weird accidents.
In another accident where a prop failed the faa asi said it looks like the prop failed in flight not that it matters.
Great dog! Wants to play tug of war! Really enjoy your videos!👍
Mic is good. I like the way you ramble on. Your opine is always valid. 50K views in one day aint too shabby. Go get em Dan!
80,000 subscribers, $5.00 a subscriber = $400,000 for fuel and rescue. That sounds JUST ABOUT RIGHT in My Book. Come on Subscribers, Step Up to the Plate. On my way to Pay Pal Now!
Love your videos and I don't even fly. Amazed at all your talents and your dedication. Thank you.
Talk about two tragic aviation deaths then right into YouTube marketing stats?
Distasteful at best
Turning into Alex Jones wannabe – sad, you’re better than this that
Bro I need that hat. You deserve to get some money for all the real life work that you do. Appreciate you.
Can you give some details on your mic? I need to buy one. Thanks for your work from a fellow dc3 driver.
hagged out irrelevant blonde lady. smh. couldn't even keep her kids under control as she slept her way around the workplace.
So let me get this straight…. I'm not a pilot and have never flown an aircraft of any type except for control line model planes. But I can sit in judgement of trained, licensed, and experienced pilots, on the NTSB Board and essentially "Court Martial" those pilots? Schweet Gig!!!
I guess I need you entire e-mail address
4 of my friends killed in a VMC roll flying a Piper Seminole (look up N11FT). High AOA and low speeds kills people in piston twins (especially in hot and high altitude locations). It may be a better procedure for engine failure at low altitude when flying light piston twins to nose level, cut power, and treat the plane as a glider and land.
The new mic is helping some but the room is too live. Anything you can find to deaden the room reflections will make a big difference – rugs, moving blankets, acoustic wall panels etc. At the end of the day it's content that matters and yours is great so no worries!
Don't feel guilty about asking for a little financial help to make the skies safer for everybody Dan, not when the likes of Jennifer and 'Mr Fun' take a salary for… well, whatever it is THEY do.
condenser sounds fine
Seems to me, anyway, that what’s taught today is a lot of psychobabble and lists of various tedious kinds—but not much about just flying an airplane. The fact is that what enables people to get behind the controls of an aircraft is not ability, but money—either money in hand or money borrowed. If somebody wants to fly bad enough there are ways to borrow the money to do it and there is no shortage of unscrupulous operations out there who will take, take, take the money and sign off any Klutz who can continue to pay. That’s really the situation. What we need in this industry is real professionalism, that will look at a Klutz at the 20-hour or so point and tell him or her, “You don’t got it—Flying is not for you—do something else—boating or bowling or whatever—but I will not enable you to progress to a certification point where you will be able to kill yourself and others and destroy aircraft and other property.” There may or may not be a pilot shortage, we can argue about that. But there is no argument that many many people who are flying aircraft have no business doing so, and that they and the rest of the world would be better off if they weren’t.
I wondered what happened to Brittany.
found you.
You videos are the best. I learn something every time I watch and am entertained while learning! You are funny and I want to hear you play your banjo. Thanks Dan.
Dan, I can't find you on paypal
Dan, thanks for your latest report. I like the way you "ramble". You are a natural, honest guy. You are not one of those Sean Penns of the world. The Angelina Jolie fakes. You are a real guy, just like the rest of us. I love aviation and your channel is one of my favs. Please, keep reporting it the way you are; natural and honest. Keep them coming. I am not an "animal lover", animals do have a place in the world, but I am a "people" person, I do donate to kids/people in serious needs, like Miami Rescue Mission and others. You are in my prayers. Post Tenebras Lux.
Dan, you're saving lives, human and animal. Never forget…all creatures great and small, we must love them all. I do animal rescue. It's heartbreaking sometimes, but very rewarding. I would love to be a part of your rescue team. Much love, Rindy ❤️🐾
I just PP’d you a few. Dan is unique in that he travels to most of the accident sites. The other 2 Amigo’s just report it from their Hangar or back deck. Traveling is expensive, send this Man a few green-backs and make his life easier.
So the FAA and the NTSB can make all these rules, take peoples licenses but they can’t determine why private planes have crashed.
I know I’m young, dumb, and bold, but why listen to people who don’t even have qualifications as the pilots flying.
Big gov dumb.
What you're going to say, what you're going to do, what you're going to get to. Meanwhile talking about dogs, cars, and mics. You were given advice and didn't listen. Used to be good, now unwatchable. GOODBYE
Ultimate respect for the animal rescue missions. Amazing. As for your hard work on here, everyone is learning from these tragic incidents. Thank you Dan
Appreciate everything you do and your honesty 👍
Trent Palmer surely got caught up in a neighbor dispute over that runway… for a neighbor to turn in RING video to the FAA basically proves this.
soooo why exactly is she the chair of the NTSB when all she has is a MOPED license? No CDLs, No PPL – just a license to drive a moped…?? gotta be kidding me. SURELY there was another, dare a say, "male" who has many more qualifications than her for this role.
Why are some people smiling in the funeral photo?
Where is your explanation about what happened with the C208 crash, the Pilot busted the MDA struck the tower, you claimed that the pilot didn't. Show us, please.
Darn, this is so tragic… twin engine legacy aircraft are a handful… NO DOUBT… I Owned a Cessna 421 Golden Eagle -which I kept in as new condition – cost? Annuals of over $60,000 a year, RAM overhauls with new crankcases, PROPS & GOVERNORS … and all the parts YOU REALLY NEED TO REPLACE $175,000 every 1,400 hours … that’s only if you do everything right during engine operations. People buying these planes have to be TOP of their game, and I don’t believe they’re spending the money to keep these aircraft TRULY RELIABLE.
You are a great human being, Dan Gryder. You are a great man… you've got our support!
Great cause.
You’re the man Dan! Love your stuff! I’m getting into Aviation Safety because of you! We need more pilots in the FAA and NTSB!
Love your show. Thanks for the QR code. I have sent some support $ from the Netherlands. Keep up the great work. 👍💪
