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.)

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." :wink:

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