Thats pretty cool! It sort of sucks to see them chopped up a bit, but I guess they still continue to serve.

What arseloch came up with THAT idea? Send them here, let us fix and fly them! C47s deserve better than to be some da*n artificial reef! That is what old concrete is for- not airplanes...

Hmmm. . . here in the States, we use old subway cars, 727 fuselages, and warship hulls to make artificial reefs. . . in other words, stuff no one wants. . .

Anybody got ID's on the goonies? Hopefully, none of the reefers are an original 'Puff' or 'Spooky'. :?

Are any known to be flying today...anywhere?
