Thanks, Doug. I watched it all the way through.

I kept watching that tail wheel plowing the snow. Not a good sign.

Better men and women than me, that's for sure.

Ummmm,,, 100 Tons of Snow ????

and that guy pulling that Sled full of Snow and the shoveling,,,,,,

OK, I gotta go lay down,,, after watching that, made my Back hurt :cry:

and cold weather bothers my Psychotic Nerve !! :shock:

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba, a 100 Tons of Snow, :roll:

Long live the DC-3's and 47'S !!!

Heres my DC-3's in Action without the Snow tho, but plenty of Humidity that day !!

and I went for a Ride on a C-47 Propliner and got to meet an Orginal Rosie the Riverter by accident while on board that Flight, she worked at the Oklahoma plant back in the 1940's that built some of the DC3's and C-47's - watch the video to hear her tell it !!!

She was an interesting woman to meet and she went flying too !!! while I was on board too :shock:

That was really great. I'm glad the whole thing didn't end with a Kee Bird moment!

That tradition has been carried on at the Harvard (Texan T-6) club at Swatkop Museum Base in Pretoria, South Africa. where all the planes have pennies (USA) in the engines.
