Popular Post munzieb Posted October 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Many years ago, my wife and I vacationed in New England and decided to take a flight from Hyannis to Nantucket. PBA Airlines used to fly DC-3's to the island. The flight was under an hour and we rented bikes. We pedaled down to the beach for a few hours and then came back to the town for lunch and then flew back that afternoon. It was kind of unusual to walk up hill to our seats but the sound of those old radial engines was great. I've had the DC-3 on my scroll saw bucket list for a long time. I found a nice picture and started gobbling pixels on Paint 3D. The picture is 15 x 9 on 1/8" BBPW with a 1/4" backer. Shellac/lacquer finish. Love those old planes! Some history on PBA Airlines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincetown-Boston_Airlines RabidAlien, meflick, OzarkSawdust and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Great picture and cutting. I remember riding them. They make dust collections silent compared to those DC3's. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidAlien Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Awesome!!! Slap some olive-drab paint (with Normandy invasion stripes on the wings!) on one of those and shove paratroopers out the door, and its an Army Air Corps C-47. munzieb and OzarkSawdust 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Another great pattern of a big 'standard' in the aircraft world. I hope I get a chance to cut and add this one to your pattern that I have cut. Always awesome patterns Dick heppnerguy munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew in one in the 1970s when I was in the air cadets (from RAF Waddington, possibly, during the annual camp trip). Luckily, we didn't have to jump out. munzieb, John B and RabidAlien 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pellow Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks for the memories. My first flight was on a TRANS CANADA AIRLINES DC3 from Kapaskasing to Toronto in 1951. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the RAF used em, too, but couldn't remember what they called it. They were also used as tugboats for glider troops (Brit, Canadian, and US, I believe?). Hard to imagine a plane powerful enough to haul a load of troops with balls of solid brass through the skies, but the DC3 did it. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Excellent pattern and cutting. I have a fascination with all WW1 and WW2 planes. In the early to mid 60's I was allowed on board a Dakota at the Kalgoorlie airport. It was fitted with stretchers and used by the RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) RabidAlien and munzieb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
