Major Lee Posted May 29 Posted May 29 I had an opportunity to fly in the magnificent C47 "Hairless Joe" last summer. What a marvelous flight in a nostalgic ship! You can find more information about this plane at https://miflightmuseum.org/aircraft-collection/ 11
Major Lee Posted May 30 Author Posted May 30 A little engine action. Note the wet oil oozing along the cowl. 20250816_115158.mp4 6
DoctorQuest Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Looks like a good time. I've been lucky enough to get ride in a Ford Trimotor. You don't see a lot of airliners these days with wood interiors. 1
Major Lee Posted May 30 Author Posted May 30 @DoctorQuest Thanks for the reply. The C47 flight was really cool. The Airzoo has a Trimotor they flew years ago, I had a few rides in it. The best part is that every seat is both a window seat and and aisle seat! 2
Wrench Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Interesting to see the YAGI antennas on the nose. Great vids, Major Lee!! 1
Major Lee Posted May 30 Author Posted May 30 @Wrench 1st Air Commando all the way! Glad you like the videos! Here's one of the cockpit, but I think some of the instruments are not original equipment... 20250816_115023.mp4 2
