Unforgettable, and in retrospect I?m surprised that the Air Force had any operational C-47s still in inventory that late. Actually, I just googled my own question and found a post on Quora that says they were used as gunships as late as 1970 in VN, and in USAF or ANG inventory until about 1975. Thanks for the memory jog. ?howard > On Oct 9, 2019, at 9:35 PM, CartersXRd via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> > wrote: > > The Daily Ric > Sunday, October 6, 2019 > Enjoy a brief tour of this DC-3 in Massey MD.
