Actually was quite interesting, I don't know whether it is an original or someone decided to paint it like that after the war.

AND  I did go to Fantasy of Flight so I might post some pictures of that too.

I can't be asked to use photo bucket so I use a instant printscreen.

No. No. He should PROTECT THE GOON, and shoot anything that gets to close.

You can own it for a cool $150,000.

Shall we start a fund?

 When I was station at FT. Polk LA. in 71 and again in 73 Texarkana airlines (I Think was the name?) out of New Orleans still flew DC-3s and I had many trips in that area on it.
Great old bird. I also jumped out of a DC-3 a few times with a privet sky diving outfit out of El Paco Texas. Thanks for posting the photo.
