We just received a report that”
“A fully restored Douglas C-47 troop transport, The Black Sparrow, is operating at Chicago-Lansing Municipal Airport in Lansing, IL. “
The DC-3/C-47/R4D/Dakota has touched the lives of people from every country in the World, -- and the DC-3 is still at it! A new group of DC-3 fans are now retracing the path of history, and share a "Spirit of Aviation" that has crossed both generational and financial barriers to capture the heart of those that love aviation as a way of life, and not simply a occupation!
I found some interesting links regarding "The Black Sparrow"
