Interesting. When Mr. Jahn show us the new NASARR I thought that should be amazing if he can release a LC-47 and LC-117 models.

I know Manfred Jahn has done the LC-47 , not sure about LC-117 .. have to have a looksie.

Operation Deep Freeze, Very very interesting, love the action with the JATO bottles to get the LC moving .. only other LC-47 in existence other than "Que Sera Sera" , my father took us boys out to watch the towing off this down St Asaph street , to day that is a one way street, here is the really weird thing the house in the background to the left, I knew a girl who rented the upstairs around 1984/85.

I'm only just realizing it was almost a year ago I was in the wheel wells off the C-17 , be another good thing to go too the open day at the ODF ramp.

Brilliant Video, I had a couple off US airmen stop here a little whiles who crewed the C-130 , they were more interested in the Lockheed Constellation paintings.

Strange you posted that , had another visit yesterday from three 109th members, more interested in the Art than the Ice ... very interesting talking to them about the LCs they were more interested with the Connie's, all from New York obviously .
