Living Jakes dream

Postby Jared » Sun Jun 18, 2006 4:14 pm

That's right for the price of 95$ I recieved a very nice ride on the CAF C-47....and it was AMAZINGLY fun  :o ;D

The pilot made the flight even a little more special to me because we flew north and right over my schools airport and down the one runway :)

top speed 145 kts.....

top altitude 2200 feet :)

tis the way to fly with the round engines :)

It sure is!  $95 dollars is a like a penny to get the chance to fly on the greatest aircraft ever built!
