I have to say, that she is slowly climbing up my list of favorite aircraft, I'll have to see her in the "flesh" to decide how far up the list she goes :)) her sister is safe at the top though :))

Here's another link to what she's about

DC6

I saw a programme on sky recently showing how the DC6 at Air Atlantique is regularly used for large freight carrying around the country.

On an other note the Air Atlantique fin logo - the Osprey -

was designed and drawn by the son of my best mate :D He's a young graphic designer who until recently was working for them - now working a bit freelance for them.

See - we can do aviation talk too :))

Thank You Paul!

Need I mention that the C-54 military sister
was the heart and soul of the Berlin Airlift?

That must have been a truly amazing operation
to have been a part of!

I like to do my planning retroactively!
