Thanks Ned...

Many more to come.  Fortunately, they ironed out most of the "Max Effort" Vs EAA BS at Oshkosh so they did finally end up with 20+ Goonies all told.

Does anyone know the scoop on the "53" DC-3 that was at Coolidge last month? It has the Wings of Flight website applied under the tail so are they the owners/operators? Also, was it always a DC-3 and just camo'd up to play C-47? Enquiring minds want to know.

NVM, found it.
