It's the 75th anniversary of the DC-3, so it was a big to-do at Oshkosh this year. The first one I thought was cool, even though you can't see much, because where else do you see 7 DC-3's flying together. The rest don't need captions really, I just hope you like them. Also, I tried to get a little "artistical" on a few of these shots so be prepared for that... Wink

One note about that last one. These people are camping in style, I had no idea that you could fit that many tents under a DC-3!  Cool

I hope you liked them. I finally have a day off tomorrow, so I should be able to sort through the rest of the pics and post the best ones. Smiley

P.S. Yes I know that some of them are technically C-47's.  Wink

Great Shots!  That many DC-3's together would have been an awesome sight... not to mention the sound!
