[Leica] DC-3

[Robert Baron]

I can testify that I flew in a commercial DC-3 - although I can't remember
the airline - from Liberal, Kansas to Oklahoma City in August of 1968.  I
specifically remember having to walk uphill to get to our seats.

Nice photos indeed, Ric.  Please tell me again what camera you're using for
these trips down memory lane.....
