Well, it's that time of year again. Most people in Minnesota take a winter vacation and go somewhere warm. Not ME, I go even further north, where it's usually colder, windier, and nastier for my vacation. Off tomorrow for 4 days of fishing through a couple holes drilled in the ice.
 
Out walking the dog in the late afternoon yesterday. Heard the distinctive rumble of radial engines, not unusual since there are three Waco UPF-7's at the nearby airport. But I looked up and saw it was a C-47 in D-Day markings!
 
How could does it get in International Falls in February? About as cold as a brass toilet seat in Thief River Falls in February.

I get to hear those C-47 radials just about every day. We have 3 of them based at the airfield I work out of.

You lucky dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two of them have radial engines, but the 3rd actually has the Basler Turboprop conversion. They also have a DC-4, but I have never seen it fly since moving down here.

In fact here is the Turbo Prop powered one yesterday taxiing out for takeoff.



Here is one of the radial engined ones taking off a few weeks ago.
