We have DC-3's going over our house each day doing joy flights. It's it's an awesome sound. They are so slow they look like they might just drop out of the sky!

as a child, we lived in the flight path of military planes going in for repairs at a Douglas facility. I would not even guess how many I have seen

It makes me smile to see these old classics still flying. The Dakota / DC3 / C47 / Goony Bird is one of my favorite planes. Great capture, Richard!
