greybeard Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks for sharing Bruce e. The passion these guys have for these wonderful aircraft is great to see. They will live on for many years to come. I flew up from Christchurch to Wellington on one of last remaining DC3 aircraft in the now Air New Zealand's fleet in 1968 I think is was. I had walked out on to the tarmac expecting to find a Fokker Friendship and lo & behold here was this beauty. What I remember most was how quiet and smooth it was. Helped no doubt by a fine day. Many a day I would go to the airport at Paraparaumu ( before Wellington had ground airport ) and watch the DC3's and Bristol freighters come and go. What a beautiful sound. I still see the odd one take off from my local airport after a maintenance check at Field Air. Sadly they few and far between now. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratocruiser Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I was at Duxford along with some of my fellow VA DC-3 pilots including Orbx Nick Cooper and saw and heard the massed takeoffs and flyovers. Exciting time I will always remember. If you want to fly these types of missions in the C-47/DC-3, come join us at www.dc3airways.net. You won't be disappointed.
