Description -November 2018-

I pulled off runway 17R at KAPA and ran my taxi checklist - Low and behold, this DC-3 departed 17L right in front of me. I've seen this bird many times, but this was the first instance I've witnessed it airborne.

General Eisenhower, just after WW2, was, if I recall correctly, quoted as saying:  "There were four weapons that won the war in Europe. The M-1 rifle, the jeep, the bazooka, and the C-47."
Terrific gallery!
Check-out mine.

It seems to date to 1943. And its serial number is 9059. (From flight aware)
