One of my buddies was an AF pilot (then flew USAir for many years) who delivered some of the last AF DC-3s to South American countries for their AFs. Brazil maybe? I‘ll have to ask him. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Aug 19, 2020, at 10:13 PM, Peter Frederick via Mercedes > wrote: > > During WWII the 240D was definitely the DC-3.

Re: [MBZ] Taildraggers
Fun pass time. I live outside of Waynesville, Ohio and every year they have a tail dragger meet and pancake breakfast, which I try to attend each year. It take place at a grass airfield called "Red Field" just outside of the town. I will see if I can find a few photos from past meets. All tail dragger airplanes.
