Description
View is from the Douglas C-47D 'Skytrain' the "Yankee Doodle Dandy" operated by the Yankee Air Museum. A 1/2 hr flight on this 'Gooney Bird' cost $225,-, cheaper than a ride on a B-17 and much cheaper than a ride on a B-29. Since we had a 'buddy pass' for our round trip from Phoenix-Boston-Philadelphia it wasn't too bad. Our flight was scheduled for 10:00, then it was moved to 12:00, moved to 14:00 and finally to 16:00, all due to the weather conditions. We finally got in the air, the only flight the Gooney Bird did that day.

Fantasticaly well captured my friend!
Cool, great capture!
very nice
GREAT CAPTURE
That must have been a blast - well worth the money
I was outside in my back yard yesterday when I heard the exhaust of a vintage plane. I was going to run for my camera but realized my keys were in the building door lock. I knew I would not have time so I just enjoyed hearing sweet notes of the engines of a Douglas C-47D 'Skytrain'.
I would love to ride one. I walked around in one at Midland Odessa Museum, but it was dark and no flash with me.
great capture
i had flown on one of them before while I was in the service, but that was different!
Very glad you got into the air. Nothing like: Hurry up and wait.
Nice shot and congrats on getting a ride!
