A worthwhile click

Take a look at this site, and make sure your speakers are turned up. The sound alone'll make you misty eyed.www.douglasdc3.com/

Blimey! Nearly blew me speakers up...! I'll probably still be shouting in the pub tonight!

Thanks PB!

Thanks Pigboat, even found a photo of one I'd flown.

Oh yes!

In fact I'm just toying with the idea of waking the neighbours up!

Dakota!

The rumble and smell of two Pratt & Whitney Radials. Bliss. Great site!

Capt. x-wind, haven't found one I've flown yet, but it's still a small world nonetheless. In Jack Lamb's story about the DC-3 ferry from Kabaul to Thompson MB, he mentions the Canadian ICAO rep in Kabaul. I used to work for that guy, and attended high school with his daughter.
