Hahaha, I know! I was shocked to see it parked on the ramp here at the Auburn Airport. But man that would be cool to fly up and back in a DC-3. Especially if it was up the coast which I'm sure it wasn't due to the salt air and vintage parts. It was loaded with a bunch of folks and their dogs, at least that is what it appeared to be. Regardless, it was cool to see that sitting here on a beautiful day.
I did my first logbook entry from the Riverside Airport back in the day when I lived in Corona. Followed with flight training out of the Hemet-Ryan Aerobatic Flight Center in tail wheels, good times. I was able to play with an ECA, GCA, Stearman, T-6, T -28 and L-19. I miss those days......
BTW: those are great pictures of your daughter and the DC-3. Mr Proud PaPa you must be! I had forgotten that Flabob was EAA Chapter #1. We are #512 in Placerville, Old Hangtown.

My score from our Maui trip when we dined at "Fleetwood's" in Lahaina.
