Great post! Thanks. FYI, the DC-3 pictured is actually a C-47/R4D, or the civilian equivalent, DC-3C (the cargo doors are the giveaway). I don't miss fixing those old radial engines one bit. Sorry for the misdirection.

I flew in a D-C3 that was contracted to the Navy in 1967. We flew from Point Mugu, California to St Nicholas Island and back. It was quite an adventure. We also flew a C-54.
