Description

at the CAF Museum at Midland, TX I was able to walk through a C47 for the first time after seeing hundreds of them fly over where I was raised unfortunately my captures was too dark so I trashed them

One goes over my house most days (DC-3), and it goes so slowly it looks like it just might fall out of the sky.

Richard, this is a fantastic pov. I have listened to, and watched, thousands of these during the Berlin Airlift. I have also seen them in Southeast Asia, including a AC-47 in action at night, supressing VC activity at Marble Mountain near DaNang. We were just close enough to hear the three mini guns in action. I was also fortunate enough to have flown in one - from Dallas to Perrin AFB when we had water survival training at Lake Texoma, Texas in 1966. I was surprised how small they were inside!
