what is the tube along the engine cowling? very strange looking. the Silent Wings of Flight museum in Lubbock has one on display at the entrance. probably will never see flight again unless a West Texas tornado rips it off the foundation mounts

It is so huge that sometimes you will find a comfortable, shady place. A beautiful shot!

I want to know what that tube is on the engine cowling, too. We've both wracked our brains and worn our fingers to the bone trying to research it, and have come up empty. Any brilliant ideas?

Nice shot! And... super POV! Shows off that nose perfectly! I'm with some other people, while it look 'old', I've never seen, or noticed, that attachment on the engine cowling before.. Any ideas? Great shot once more mate! Rob

I have seen many 'Gooneybirds' but I also have never noticed that tube before and don't know what it is. Some sort of air intake for the engine?

Always loved the shape of this aircraft. It's one of the few designs you can truly call timeless. Great image Sig.

Great photo! Have always loved the C-47/DC-3. Interesting how everyone noticed that horn on the cowling! It's so the pilot can tell the guy in front of him to get out of the way. No? Okay, it's for air refueling. Oops, I guess the prop would be in the way for that! Heck, I got nothin'... ;)
