May 5, 20224 yr For the last 3-4 days, I've been "binge-watching" everything DC-3. I came across a Youtube video on Mikey McBryan's restoration of C-FDTD on Plane Savers...it was cool to watch the restoration and initial flight (after a long sleep!) in such a relatively short time period. I then reviewed the trans-Atlantic crossing of Tabitha May for the 2019 anniversary of D-Day (Matt Guthmiller did a series of videos for each leg of the journey). Of course, I had to take my trusty Manfred Jahn C-47 for a few flights! I came across an article that I had read once a long time ago...seems to have dropped off my memory since I read this. In Whitehorse, there is a "Wind Vane" made from a DC-3...I thought it would be cool to paint that livery. (This is still a work in progress.) https://www.explorenorth.com/library/aviation/cf-cpy.html Edited May 5, 20224 yr by rmeier
May 6, 20224 yr Author Thanks for the feedback gentlemen! I actually like Mikey McBryan's videos. I knew he purchased an actual D-Day survivor aircraft...just hadn't seen the Plane Savers episodes. Too bad they weren't able to make the trans-Atlantic crossing in 2019. At least they got her back in the air on June 6th! Thanks again!
May 7, 20224 yr Must be a pleasure to paint this special one.... Cannot go wrong with DC-3... (very interesting tidbits and references, btw...)
