Too bad it won?t ever fly again. I remember flying in DC3?s as a passenger
and it was a strange feeling to be sitting angled to the ground when the
plane was loading.
Then as it took off - gaining speed the tail would lift - you would be
sitting horizontal to the ground and eventually you would gently lift off -
engines roaring. A great experience. Thanks for posting.

Subject: [Leica] IMG: One More from Film Found in in R2a
Here is one more image from the roll of BW400CN found in my Bessa R2a.
This DC-3 was hauling skydivers when it lost an engine, and sits as a
monument to the past. It was deemed too expensive to restore it to
flying status.

Bessa R2a, lens not recorded.
C & C welcomed.
