Hey thats me.

Just got back from looking at the airplane, located at camp Shelby in Ms, in my mind it will never fly again; however; it will make a great static display. If anyone is interested please give me a call and I will put you intouch with the guy who is working on it.

I will post some pics tonight.

MapQuest aerial view shows two DC-3s at the end of a closed runway at the Hattiesburg, MS airport east of Camp Shelby - is it one of those?

I never got to work on her as I was only 13 when she was here in VT but I did help mask off markings with my dad when we painted her. So yea I know the airplane!! Thanks for finding her history...............too bad that she is painted the way she is now..........think we were alot closer. Not to mention, they changed the props.

How you been?
