Dakota

Back at Duxford today for the build up to the Flying legends airshow. This is a Swiss DC3 or Dakota taxiing out on its way to display with 2 Beech 18 aircraft. I love how shiny this aircraft and the enthusiastic pilot adds to the shot I think :) Added to the song title challenge as I love the track Dakota by the Stereophonics https://youtu.be/SzBJQnD7TRM

This brought back memories. I flew in a Dakota DC3 to the Isle of Man when I was a teenager. It was a real bone shaker then, so goodness knows what it must be like now.

Great shot!

It's a beauty. I love the shiny and reflecting outside too. Greetings from Swissair-Land, although Swissair grounded 16 years ago, we can't let go of the past. Bittersweet memories :-(

You've said it all, but the slight prop blur makes it for me.
