C47 "Hairless Joe"

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/

A little engine action. Note the wet oil oozing along the cowl.

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.

@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!

Interesting to see the YAGI antennas on the nose.

@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...
