Buried! And Thinking of Spring …
We have had near record snow falls at KBAF (72″).
Douglas DC-3 (N58NA) in the WWII Museum
This historic DC-3 is now hanging from the ceiling in the WWII museum in New Orleans. This aircraft served with the 9th Air Force/4th Pathfinder Squadron during WWII. Following the war, the aircraft was sold to the Finnish Air Force, where it served until 1970. In 1976, it participated in the filming of A Bridge Too Far. In 1985, it was sold to a small U.S. cargo company and served as a cargo carrier with various small companies until it was sold to the museum in 2006. I personally had the distinct honor of flying this aircraft all over the U.S. and Canada in the late 1990s early 2000s. Despite its high time, it was the best-flying aircraft in our fleet of DC-3s.

More from the Air Show in Atlanta
I have seen some pictures from that show, and thought this is just as good. [Ed. Note – We’ll go along with that!]
