Not the best photos, but here's a picture of CF-DOT back when she was an oil pollution patrol aircraft for the Canadian Coast Guard.

Also this one from the Comox airshow about 14 years ago.

hey wls3,

on Tico Belle I noticed that the props were feathered. I figured she looked like a flyer, and since I've never seen a C-47 with it's props feathered on the ground, I was wondering what was up with her.

cheers,

David

I was wondering the same thing. I've not seen that as a "normal" position for any piston and wonder why they'd run the feathering pump that long since it's not really that good on the starter to try and start the engine with the blades like that.

I know the title says nothing but..........., but maybe you'll allow one of it's predecessors, the DC-2?

Bill,

Looks like the Herpa crew doing their single engine routine for the crowd. I've seen them do it a few times, and its very impressive!

sorry, like i said now you got me going. the other night, my wife and i were in the process of putting the kids to bed, half way though, i saw my photo album on the shelf. Next thing you know she is putting the kids to bed and i am lost in old photos. when she commented on "where are you", my reply of ...but honey its airplanes!!! didnt quite cut it!.. any way these are some of the times we had at Georgetown in the '90s. i have more on DVD that are of central america flying, ill work on getting those too.

anyway, first is the some of the Air Tejas crew, Left to right is Chris Dodge, me, Tom Shannon, and Rich Heitzman.
next is me in Burlington Iowa in winter, it was -13 in the cockpit at 9 thousand, as you can see the old bomber jacket, and AAC issue cold weather flying trousers still were not enough. we used to open up a sleeping bag and drape it accross our lap, then across the ailse and over the other guys lap also, with the hope of capturing some of the warm that came out under the seats.fun huh!
next is Vera on Take off from GTU and then a 2 ship we did with Heart of America after it spent some time with us.
Lastly is us and McNeeley's 3 somewhere outside of Washington DC late 97 i believe.
hope you enjoy them.

It was very damp the morning I shot this, the paint isn't really that funky appearing.
