North American T-28. B,C,or D model. Hazy, misty afternoon here at Chapel Hill, NC (IGX).
It was in the pattern, saw it lower it's landing gear. Couldn't see any markings. Red cowling,
white fuselage. Wonderful sound.

Saw a lovely C-47 sporting invasion strips droning over Clear Lake this past weekend, wonder who it was?
Been an awful long time since I saw a DC-3/C-47 in the air, didn't used to be so rare.

Dunno Pogo, but a new poster said he had met up with a C-47 for rides out of La Porte this weekend. (On a thread I can't find now.)

If you or somebody drives by and confirms the presence of a C-47 at La Porte, please lemme know and I'll shoot over there to see if I can pay it a visit.

Sure will, but I'm wheel less today. I almost replied to the guys post..."You're supposed to brag about the event BEFORE it happens so others can show up to capture the piccies."

Ok, so this is two days late, but I thought I'd share them anyway...

Saw a pair of C-5s while driving through the Schenectady, NY area today. Would those be based at Westfield?
