johnost Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Oh, those memories. My very first flight when I was 12 years old and in a DC-3, that was exciting!

Downwind66 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Thanks johnnost (and I don't blame you for not dating yourself about your age), David, Jan and Khalid! I love the old prop military aircraft and the DC3/C47's are up there on my list of favorites! John - I love Tim Wright's (tiger1962) slogan, "The older I get, the better I was!" I keep telling my wife that and all she does is grits her teeth and mumbles something!:rolleyes: Thanks guys!

peer01 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Are our wives related Rick? :eek::eek: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Jan - Could be? I think they are all related in one way or the other. God's plan, test our patience down here and by the time we get to our final stop, we will be too tired to fight and mis-behave! Finally got to fly the Buffalo Bird!

Downwind66 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Rick, Weakness? Nay! Passion! That Buffalo is spot on gorgeous! Excellent thread. Thank you, I always liked the livery, seen it on other aircraft, and when I saw it on the C-47, I had to have it! Thanks for commenting on it! - Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I did my own alternative to this after watching the series on TV I decided never to have Buffalo aircraft in my sim. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?311151-Bison&highlight=Bison Col.

NMLW Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 C-47s and DC-3s are among my favorites also Rick. They are fun and easy hand flyers. :cool: :cool: Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Very nice, Charlie, wish my landing lights were that bright. No entry, so they must be part of the modeling of the aircraft? Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Okay, yes, mine was a texture add-on to the Air Force C-47 at the start of this thread. I can live with it. My other C47 and the default DC-3's aren't much brighter either! Enjoy, Charlie, I am very pleased with that livery! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
