Not really "UE" but cool none the less, especially if you like Vintage Aircraft

The DC-3 N-34 is a "retired" flight inspection aircraft that is used as an aviation awareness static display at air shows around the country. Open to visitors, the exhibit is a beautiful 1940's vintage aircraft that was one of the most successful ever built. The DC-3 proudly displays aviation education and pilot information, tells the history of FAA and CAA (a predecessor agency), and contains information about FAA's contributions to both domestic and international aviation.


^^I took that from some website I found on this DC-3 that flew into the airport I work at today. I called down to the FBO ramp after I got off work tonight and asked if I could come take pictures, which they obliged. It was a beautiful bird.

And yes, I know, some of these pictures are unlevel, but I have a terrible tripod and will be upgrading shortly... largely in part because of how it affected some of these pictures.

I especially like when he talks to me on facebook chat and says things like "brb, have to stop planes from crashing into each other."

reckless thoughts abide; anachronistic and impulsive.

Oh noes.
Just implying that you were about to leave to go to the airport, and do your normal job...of stopping planes from crashing into each other.

That makes me feel somewhat better - and explains the times you won't return a text during working hours. Maybe I -won't- die for using RDU!

I was going to ask how you got on the, what is that, tarmac. Those are amazingly lit. As for the horizons, why not do some cropping in photoshop?
