Thanks for the pictures, Alex. Sad to see more silly regulations snuff out what's enjoyable. No escape slides - it's a wonder we weren't all killed! Many fond memories of travels in the old Goony Birds. Especially liked my father's tale about having to lean out the cockpit window to wipe off heavy snow on the windscreen while on approach to Kansas City.

Hope this old veteran finds a good home.

Blasted bureaucracy!

It is so sad that vintage aircraft such as the "Gooney Bird" have to be made subject to 21st century rules and regulations.

Never got a chance to fly Concorde and now looks like I will never have the chance to fly in a DC3 either.
