A C-47 occasionally flies over head, we think it's a Dutch based guy who pops over into the UK from time to time in it, beautiful aircraft, beautiful sound

A nice quote I just heard about:

The only replacement for a DC-3 is another DC-3. To think that the plane is still used at some places as cargo planes....

There was a regional carrier some years back called Cape Cod Airways. They flew some DC-3's and I did a few flights on them. What a hoot. Felt like you were really flying.

KLM run a restored DC3 around the Netherlands from time to time.

Saw it landing here in Maastricht last week, wonderful sound and a nice change from the usual 737s and 747 freighters

I just noticed that this must be the very same plane that is on the article photograph for Wikipedia's page about the DC-3.
