The first are of two "low flying" DC3's. The first is at Mangaweka International Airport, and is painted in the Cookie Time scheme. The second is at a McDonald's in Taupo. I didn't get up in to the Cookie Time aircraft, but I did get a couple of [dark] photos through the perspex of the McDonald's one. Sad to see a DC3 reduced to providing a place for kids to eat their junk food...
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

Road Trip #1: Low flying DC3's
I've been on a bit of a road trip last weekend - nothing really to do with aviation, but I did manage a few photos that might be on interest.
