DC-3 flight
« on: July 26, 2010, 09:23:00 PM »
Last Sunday I enjoyed a 25 minutes flight in the Douglas DC-3 Dakota PH-DDZ from the Dutch Dakota Association.
In fact its origine goes back to 1944 as a C-47 Skytrain! Flight started at Lelystad airport and led us over Lelystad, Ketelbrug, Ketelhaven, Elburg and Biddinghuizen.
I can only say I really enjoyed this ride in the Grand Old Lady!
Attached a photographic impression!

Yesterday (7 Aug 2010) I made another trip with DC-3 PH-DDZ for a day out in the city of Maastricht.
My wife joined me on this occasion! While we were sightseeing the beautiful city centre, DDZ was used for 3 local flights!

Great trips Nico! I'm sure you enjoyed them!
Did you hear of the C-47 of the Bevrijdende Vleugels museum?
It was heavily damaged on transport by road;

It is probably too severy damaged to be rescued...  :(
