    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a young flight crew operating one those old birds. Love it.

    My father was 22 years old when he became a pilot instructor at Randolph in 1942. In 1944 he went to Missouri and taught pilots how to fly the gliders hauled up by the C-47s. After the war he went to Japan and when the Korean War broke out he was flying C-47s hauling troops and supplies in and out of Korea.

      Я всегда называю Ли-2 стрижом. Он очень похож своим размахом крыльев на эту маленькую птичку.

    Dad flew a C47 in WWII. One mission over Norway... then the European war ended. Did most of his military flying hauling troops back to the USA. Was based in Puerto Rico... then to Trinidad... (picked up troops ferried from the Azores) then to Miami. Telling us kids stories... into Miami... smoking Cuban cigars in the cockpit... propellers swing blue static arcs... He was only 22. Greatest generation.

      It's one of the greatest things in the world, if you don't mind the cramped economy class seats. Often, people with a fear of heights don't get their phobia triggered in an airplane for some reason.

    Do you fly with the c-45 much? I think i may have snapped a pic of the pair, over Sullivan lake, in early may of last year. As a kid, my dad almost bought a deralict AT-11 for us to play in on the farm. He also owned a PT-17 at one time, that he flew.

    the phrase is called "balls to the wall" because in those old WW2 planes they had little balls on the ends of the throttle/prop/mixture and when shit hit the fan you just shove everything forward. Hence, balls to the (fire) wall.
