Here is the old girl herself the Dakota DC3 - 18 July 2012 08:25183388Wow!! nice set of pictures there Barry W-S and yes indeed welcome back. Look at the set of dials in that cockpit and i thought my motorbike was bad !lol
That Galactic one is unbelievable...space travel anyone!!? Exhorbitant costs but worth it for billionaires.
I think that Catalina one was featured on TV the other day taking two veterans on the trip to rediscover their wartime memories.
Great set!
