Douglas DC-3 (N7AP)

Beautiful! As good as new! Would love to try to fly in it!

Wow, nice, do they fly the teams on that or is it for some other program?

The old but reliable GOONY BIRD It seems to never want to go away. Every airplane should be made as tough as the DC-3

Teams/assoc. folks are in the 60-90 range. Must be a pr/ fundraiser mission.

In the 1960's flew these all over South America. Varig in Brazil, Aerolineas Argentinas in Argentina. Went to Iguazu from Sao Paulo several times. Once, the airport at one of the stops was closed as a gas truck had gotten stuck on the runway, so the pilot landed on a dirt road just outside of the airport. He made several turns over the falls as we got there. I would guess we made 25 to 30 flights on these old birds. Varig used to hand passengers a white cardboard box with lunch or dinner in it as you boarded. WOW, what fun. Good old days.

Best Prop passenger aircraft ever built
