Few aircraft have impacted as many lives and made as much of a difference around the world as the venerable Douglas DC-3 / C-47. The DC-3 revolutionized air travel and transport when it was introduced in the 1930s and ‘40s. Over the years, many pilots have stated that the only plane that can replace a DC-3 is another DC-3... A claim to which there must be some credence, as even now, at over 70 years old, this type of aircraft is still a workhorse in many remote locations and austere environments around the globe. . . . . This particular airframe used to be operated by Catalina Flying Boats and was a staple in the skies over Long Beach, CA. While I dearly miss the sight and sounds of her overhead, it is comforting to hear that she’s being overhauled and retrofitted with turboprops after which she will be flying aid missions in Africa, likely for many years to come. . . . . #dc3 #c47 #skytrain #dakota #sunrise #cloudporn #aviation #plane #aircraft #douglasdc3 #c47skytrain #c47dakota #dac #dak #nowthatsanairplane #soundofround #aviationphotography #realairplane (at Long Beach Airport)
