parachuting from a Dakota

Hi.

As your last post indicates, I own a C47, serial number N473DC. She is equipped with a static line and we dropped paras in Normandy last June and then at Ginkel Heath, Arnhem, in September - the Arnhem drop included the Red Devils later in the day.

If you want to contact me regarding using this aircraft, let me know - although one word of warning in advance - we stand very little (no) chance of dropping you guys in the UK - we would need to go to France/Belgium/Holland or possibly, Ireland.

Regards,

Paddy.

p.s. the $75,000 is just for starters - you`ve then got to start stripping it all down and refurbishing 60 odd years of deterioration!! Oh, and there`s also the small cost of flying it back from Arizona.
