Old Warden C-47 arrivals

[Blue Diamond]

Saturday 8th June saw seven C-47s pay an overnight visit to Old Warden. Has the airfield previously seen so many aircraft of the size all at the same time? I doubt it.
A few wearing civil markings built they all started life with USAAC serials.

Glad you like them.
Certainly was an aural treat.
The pilot of N8336C made me chuckle when he said "This sure is a small field." I doubt he flies his DC-3 into anything quite so restricted out in the USA.
