Photo
of the "Old Gooney Bird"
Air Force C-47 ~ Civilian DC-3
This photo was
taken by Deanna when she was at the Offutt AFB SAC
Museum. It is in the process of being cleaned up for
display. Lots of hours out of Offutt on one like this,
except that her tail number was 0433871. I think
that ment she was built in 1943. What a fossil, Huh? We
called her "Good Ol' 871". She was an ECM
trainer and had antennas sticking out all over her. She
had three direction finding antenna radomes hanging on
her belly. I have an old article dedicated to her
departure from Offutt that I will post later with lot's
of stories. (Probably as a link from this file so keep
checking back - )
