Douglas DC-3 (N44587)

great photo! Right about or just shortly after lift off. Thanks!

My very first flight was in a DC3 on 8th, may 1958 from Berlin-Tempelhof to Hanover.
Even it was an american airplane, flightcompany was Air France. I was 7 years old and still can remember the tiny little curtains and the light green sweet bonbons...must have been impressive... :-)

My favourite aircraft of all time.
The first aircraft I worked on, in South Africa. You had to keep a good eye on your sockets or they would roll aft. Ha.
A great photograph. Thank you.
