Look what I got to play with at work today...
« on: February 21, 2007, 11:39:22 PM »
A really nice 1943 Douglas DC-3/C-47. The company that owns it is renting some hangar space from us this week while they are in the area doing aerial survey work for NASA. I got to tow it twice today... once out of the hangar and once back in.... A bit nerve wracking actualy since it has a 95 foot wingspan and our hangar door only opens 100 feet ::eek::

Yep, it's a Tiger. It's in for a new engine. so in the meantime there's six sandbags hanging from the engine mounts so it doesn't try to be a taildragger ::rofl::

It's good to see a working Skytrain.  Talk about an overbuilt MoFo!
