jeff_a Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I rode in one of these DC-3s on a commercial flight into Fairbanks, Alaska when I was a kid. A lot of fun! The flight lasted maybe half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wldavis Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 jeff_a, That's weird. I also rode in a DC-3 when I was a kid of about 12. Southern Airways, from Columbus, MS to Memphis, TN. And, it was about a 30 minute ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wldavis Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Back in those days, when the plane landed at the airport, you just walked out the terminal door to the edge of the tarmac to meet your loved one who was getting off the plane. Here is a photo of a Southern Airways DC-3. Edited January 11, 2017 by wldavis add text. (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
