Daniel Novello Posted May 2, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 2, 2011 A fantastic shot! It seems like it is shot mid - air. I like the colours, reminds me of slides from the childhood. Thanks, Daniel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted May 2, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 2, 2011 Philipp, A fine vantage point that gives this a lot of impact as well as the colors. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted May 2, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 2, 2011 Great shot - the aerial on top gives it an interesting, almost modern connection. Terrific colours - reminds me of Kodachrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted May 3, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 3, 2011 Philipp - Excellent. It's amazing how reliable and long lived these are, starting life in the military cargo plane version as a C47 in WWII. This aircraft made commercial flying practical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This aircraft made commercial flying practical. Just a precision, Stuny : Douglas DC-2 and DC-3 began their civilian career before the war. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benqui Posted May 17, 2011 Share #10 Posted May 17, 2011 Really a great and powerful photo. The combination of the airplane and the clouds makes the thrill. Regards, Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington Posted June 9, 2011 Share #12 Posted June 9, 2011 Oh heavens no… the DC-3 wasn’t nearly the first flying machine to make commercial flying possible. It was however a remarkable design and is in use to this day. The C-47’s were famous during WWII for flying over ‘’ The Hump’’ which were the Himalaya Mountains. The first luxury passenger flight machines were produced by the Zeppelin Company and, at the time, no airplane came close. The first truly big passenger plane was also German: the Dornier Do X…. 1929. Personally, I love the DC-3 however…. but it was hardly the first aircraft to make commercial flying possible.

pop Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share #13 Posted June 11, 2011 Ravi, Marc, Robert and Rip - thank you for your encouraging comments. Ravi: have you been there yet? They have made considerable changes, some of them really catering to the needs of children. The most striking seems to be the exhibit on road works. It's out of doors, so don't go there if the weather does not lend itself to extended outdoor activity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
