Douglas C-47 v3 Livery Thread

Ian Warren said:
Mark , I got a ride in the jump seat of a NZ Railway Freight DC-3 1986, I should have kept my motorbike helmet on (I really go a sore head, but it was worth it), it was a cold winter southerly and the turbulence was great, you could hear the aircraft creaking and twisting, so in over Pararraumu and into Wellington, we taxied in, I then helped to unload, then was on the return flight on another back to Christchurch with the same, made for one hell of a memorable day ... this is were I love this DC-3 , really bring back memories ... Hells ! that was now over 30 years ago! :encouragement:

I've got to do those two NZ Freight livery's ... :very_drunk:

Great story, thanks for sharing it. Lucky you!
I flew in a DC-3 around 45 years ago, from Madrid / Spain to Frankfurt / Germany. I was 5 years old back then. I even remember it faintly. I have no idea who the carrier was, unfortunately.

Cheers,
Mark

I'll give it the once over but I think I've stared at it enough! I'll upload it later on this evening.

Was a great surprise to see this in the downloads section. Just saw this one a couple months ago at Flabob while I was doing my tailwheel endorsement. Any chance of doing the Flabob express DC-3?

Thunderbird was to have been my last C-47! I'm in the process of hand drawing the Classic Express logo...Aaaagh! I've started, so I'll finish.
 
Here's the proof. Waiting to take off at Flabob, the airport time forgot.
