Douglas DC-3 (LN-WND)

Filling in all FIVE!! An OUTSTANDING snap!! I would be thrilled to get a DC-3 in my camera's viewfinder. Congrats x 5 on this capture.

Thanks Gary!

That's a 5 from me!

And another 5 from me!

magnificent
straight 5

Brings back lots of memories... I flew one every week for a couple of years hauling light freight to Nassau, Bahamas back in the early 1970's.. It was an early model with a right hand passenger door.

Glorious shot!!

Thanks guys!!

Stunning!!

a real work horse. First flight by me was from Surabaja, Indonesia to Batavia(Djakarta), Indonesia on the DC3 (C-47 U.S.A.F.). This aircraft does not crash. It has a 5to 1 gliding capability.

A little correction Peter there have been some crashes of the DC3, usually pilot error.

Dennis Merola, That right hand side door made it an AA aircraft. Little did we know back then we'd be working at AA there in MIA!!! Good memories from OPF!! My best to Rosa and the fond memories of Sal.
Might you have the N-number or serial on that plane you flew back then.

Stunning!!!
Were the wings augmented on this version? Seems as though the wing tips extend beyond earlier designs. Perhaps just an aberration attributable to the shot angle. Nonetheless, I love this photo. Thanks to Thomas D.

High 5 on this pic.

Recuerdo cuando ya joven estaba en la secundaria y volé en uno de estos aviones DC 3. Que pertenecía Líneas Aéreas Nacionales S A, con base en la Ciudad de La Ceiba , Hnduras C.A. Eran muy buenos aviones de la década del 70 y 80
