Skytrain

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota is a military transport aircraft that was developed from the Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remained in front line operations through the 1950s with a few remaining in operation to this day.

Check the Oil...

 

Seen at the 2009 Southwestern Wisconsin AirFEST (Janesville, Wisconsin).

 

I am fried to a crisp; even on the spots I coated with sunscreen and on parts that faced away from the sun all day--I am pretty sure Wisconsin is closer to the sun. After a bath in aloe vera, a bottle of Ibuprofen, another aloe vera bath, and a good nights sleep, I will take a tour of the wonderful photos I missed today. It looks like today was a productive day for all!

 

Have a wonderful Monday!
