Last pax flights for DC3

Nice shots, like the first one.

Rather you than me 🙂 Not sure if I could handle an aircraft rotating at the rear first – so to speak!! Would feel right. 🙂

Feels more normal than helicopters. Going almost straight up feels very odd! 🙂

I’ve never really seen the point of that, but I guess peoples interests are different!

I’m just so glad I had the opportunity to experience the Dakota for myself a couple of months ago, and what an experience it was!

I can’t put into words how disappointed I am we can no longer fly on these beautiful pieces of aviation history. I’m just so glad I had the opportunity to experience the Dakota for myself a couple of months ago, and what an experience it was!
