A super shot of Douglas.
what is the tube along the engine cowling? very strange looking. the Silent Wings of Flight museum in Lubbock has one on display at the entrance. probably will never see flight again unless a West Texas tornado rips it off the foundation mounts
Love this kind of captures!
Great shot. I have loved these planes forever.
Fantastic capture very beautiful plane
Excellent photo.. amazed how much skin ripple there is on these old warbirds,and an interesting adaption on the exhaust..some sort of air blend for the exhaust gases??.. curious.
It is so huge that sometimes you will find a comfortable, shady place. A beautiful shot!
marvelous
WOW THIS IS AN AWESOME CAPTURE VERY WELL TAKEN
Great capture!!!
I want to know what that tube is on the engine cowling, too. We've both wracked our brains and worn our fingers to the bone trying to research it, and have come up empty. Any brilliant ideas?
Beautiful capture - Just love it!
indeed a fat birdie.
Esplendida captura meu amigo, aplausos (5)
Shining.
Nice shot! And... super POV! Shows off that nose perfectly! I'm with some other people, while it look 'old', I've never seen, or noticed, that attachment on the engine cowling before.. Any ideas? Great shot once more mate! Rob
I have seen many 'Gooneybirds' but I also have never noticed that tube before and don't know what it is. Some sort of air intake for the engine?
Very well done. I love it. 5+!
Great capture of beautiful old plane!
It's amazing how much planes have changed.
great POV
excellent shot...i love the person using it for shade to relax under... :) chills and thrills
a mythical plane :)
Always loved the shape of this aircraft. It's one of the few designs you can truly call timeless. Great image Sig.
Great photo! Have always loved the C-47/DC-3. Interesting how everyone noticed that horn on the cowling! It's so the pilot can tell the guy in front of him to get out of the way. No? Okay, it's for air refueling. Oops, I guess the prop would be in the way for that! Heck, I got nothin'... ;)
A great plane and a nice capture of it.
Very nice shot!
One very handsome bird.
Bug-catcher? Maybe the someone hid their bagpipes in there? ;-) Amazing closeup though
Great image! :)
