In preparation for my Type Rating on the Douglas C-47, I'm doing a review with DC3 instructor specialist, Frank Moss. I brought my C-47 over from Britain back in 2012 and thought it time to complete my check rides and get the rating squared away. In this clip I get a refresher course from Frank, we go over the workings of the aircraft, review the procedures, and then go out and do some take-offs, landings and fly-bys. Come on along for the ride. | Kermit Weeks

Check out this cool view of our Douglas C-47 “Gooney Bird”👀 what’s your favorite thing about this versatile aircraft? Ours is the C-47’s longevity, derived from the Douglas engineers building in more strength than was necessary, endowing the airplane with a virtually unlimited service life. There are still C-47s flying in countries around the world! #pearlharboraviationmuseum #douglasc47skytrain #gooneybird #wwiiaviation | Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum
