Well that just proves that I
did burn my fingers on something pretty hot during my DC-3 walkabouts as a kid.
Below is one or other of the two DC-3s in question behind the lucky pilots that flew it (top pic). Wheel spats can be seen. HK-1503 w/o in 2004, HK-1505 fate unknown to me.
Is draining fuel from the wings (via a valve or something seem to remember) to fill a cigarette lighter common practice? Seen it done.
