i know i post shots of this bird more frequently than any other plane in my hangar, but everyone seems to at least not be annoyed by my admiration of this fine aircraft.  after all... i still see DC3's flying cargo and passengers regularly at the airport where i work, that gives them more longevity than the venerable B-52. call me a romantic, but i'd much rather hear the low rumble of radials than the whine of jet engines.
   here's a couple of shots from my approach into Nice after a long flight from Stutgart.
iwas pretty weary after a six hour afternoon flight as i lazzily turned into the pattern knowing i could rest soon i settled into a south bound leg along the coast i just reached the calm waters turning base to watch the sunset straining to keep my eyes open on short final one last look at the sunset before it ducks behind the mountains i was so tired i that the line crew had to point out that i had forgotten to shut the door it was a good day to fly with an old lady.
hope you enjoyed the pics. ( i'm trying to work on getting sharper quality ) 

comments are always welcome

The second to last shot is beautiful!

And the DC3 is a workhorse like no other

first one is awesome

ruekesj:
Awesome, some of your best work.

That last shot is a classic! I am just now picturing the actress coming down the stairs with reporters' flashlights going off.

Now those are some great shots! i like the terrain mesh in the first one. Looks like northern UK or Ireland

Fantastic shots, good enough to be framed and mounted on the wall
