Another VIC Magic bg char has arrived!

A privately-owned Douglas DC-3, based off Melbourne's Gooney Bird VH-OVM.

She doesn't have a name as of now, but the little passenger plane holds the title as "The Sheila of Essendon" since she's based at the Essendon Airport. Sheila's a bit of a cold fella, seeing as she previously fought in wars when she was a RAAF C-47, though she means no harm if she gets a bit snappy.

"The Space Shuttle Enterprise is mounted atop a NASA 747 carrier aircraft on the runway of the Edwards Air Forces Base in southern California after the third captive-active flight (CA-3) of the Shuttle Approach and Landing Tests (ALT). CA-3 was a full dress rehearsal for the shuttle's first free flight the following month, and the pilots were Fred Haise and Charles Gordon Fullerton."
