A long time ago, there was a large forest fire in Montana. I believe it was this aircraft that was used to drop the smoke jumpers to this particular fire. Tragically, several of the smoke jumpers lost their lives in that fire

A couple years ago, after working for the Forest Service for a summer, I had the chance to go visit the Smoke Jumper's base located in Missoula, Montana where there's a Forest Service museaum, plus another small aircraft museaum located on the airfield

So Here's my DC-3 photo 8)

Very sweet picture! Thanks for sharing!
