Advertisement Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Hi barnack, Take a look here Eastern Airlines DC-3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted November 23, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2009 Though I don't miss the DC3 (C47 originally, and the aircraft that made the passenger airline industry possible) I do miss Eastern. Lovely shot, again in WDC, I assume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted November 30, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 30, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's only a few years ago that the last overnight newspaper flights up and down the UK were made by these wonderful old birds. Prior to that we could hear the droning doppler effect in the late evening to early morning as they made their slow and steady progress. Good shot, museums can be difficult places to work.

lanetomlane Posted December 1, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 1, 2009 As my speciality is Composite Structures on aircraft this DC-3 doesn't hold a lot of potential for me. The image however is terrific in every way. _____________________________ Regards, Tom Photography by Tom Lane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giordano Posted December 1, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 1, 2009 Though I don't miss the DC3 (C47 originally, and the aircraft that made the passenger airline industry possible) I do miss Eastern. Lovely shot, again in WDC, I assume. DC-3, originally: it started in airline service in 1936 as successor to the DC-2; C-47 was one of the US military designations (and Dakota the RAF one). While I'm being pedantic, the passenger airline industry got started well before the DC-3. For example, Imperial Airways carried 11,000 people on its London-Paris route in 1924-25 (and showed the world's first in-flight movie). What the DC-3 unquestionably did was to transform the economics of the industry, especially when large numbers of war surplus aircraft became available. I travelled many times in them when I was young and will always remember the smell of leather, oil and avgas, plus a trace of vomit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
