Thanks to the folk of the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum (MAAM) in Reading PA, we have the opportunity to take a virtual tour of a restored R4D-6 (DC-3. The R4D-6 was the US Naval version of the US Army C-47 (DC-3). Both the C-47, the R4D-6 and the RAF Dakota were used as transport aircraft in World War II. For more on her history and the restoration, go here. To the best of my knowledge, the MAAM R4D-6 is airworthy as it is available for airshows.
You may also take "virtual tours" of the MAAM R4D-6, each of the following five pages of the tour has several images that you can click along with descriptions of each image:
Enjoy!
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
