Great shots guys!

Here are some of the BBMF's DC3 taken at Leuchars in 2006 with my old point and shoot (they didn't turn up last because of weather). They are a bit grainy but the best I have.

Great shots of a wondefful old lady of the skies. Let's hope the Dak is still around after another 70 years.

IIRC, this aircraft has been in continuous service longer than any other, yes? What a great ol' bird.

Best,

Michael

DC3's and C47's were the skydiving workhorses till the early 80's!

Yep, I took those a few years ago. Some may be gone and others added. I was going to go out there today and see if I could get some updated shots but its a blizzard out again today.

Seems a pretty active place. I am on the Ruud Leuw mailing list and it seems that there is very often a mention of a Basler, or former Basler bird. I will post a new one to the scene this afternoon. It showed up yesterday at Riverside and is a new restoration.

Very cool, I wonder how many aircraft they do a year. Would be interesting to know.
