Chicks Dig Warbirds.......right?

The inside looks a bit better than the outside; I notice you can see Ozark markings reappearing under the port wing. My uncle Tommy Cassibry probably loaded baggage into it at PAH. Any ID on this bird?

I'll bet that is one of the former Academy Airlines DC-3s. One of the two Academy still had back in the mid-1990s was a 1936 airframe. I could look it up in my files. If this is the plane I think it is, the last time I saw photos of it, the engines and control surfaces were off of it and so were the engines. The other one Academy had was flyable but it had a bunch of animals painted on it so it looked a bit strange.

Teach me guys. Bill's AC seems to be the better aircraft. Why is it not?
