Pix from Iowa City Fly-In & Flying in DC-3

Nice. I thought the DC-3 was the same as a C-47, however.
Did you get to fly it at all?

Nah, not this time. Last year (at the same event) we got some stick
time in the MATS Connie (which someone told me is not on the airshow
circuit anymore -- can anyone verify that?), but this year they had
paying customers lined up to fly from the right seat...

As I recall, the SAC Connie out of Kansas City blew an engine sometime
in the last month or two. They were soliciting donations for a rebuild.
