ERA Aviation was our helo contractor in the Gulf. They also were owned by Alaska Air. They had a C-47 that flew at D-Day. It was outfitted to fly nostalgia flights around Alaska. They brought the plane to Houston and used it to fly to/from Houston to Sonora, TX to hunt. Several of the ERA pilots also flew/supported the Confederate AF. That was one rough ride with that rigid wing. One trip the weather was kinda bad and it was a choke and puke ride. My ERA friend was a (VN SF Sgt 1st tour, CWO helo pilot second tour, said he got tired of walking) was passing out trash bags on the flight. Leaving, a few days later we almost ended up wiping out part of the local golf course when we caught a cross wind when he just lifted off. It was a fun week. The pilot was one of the B17 pilots for the CAF. Our pilot out was their lead and owner of a A1 Skyraider. They had a some great people.

I saw that plan land and taxi to our ramp in Talkeetna in 2002.
i dont remember why. But I remember the day.
I was in awe of her.
That's amazing. There is a lot of work and money in that thing. I'd like to have one also. I never made it past high wing ARF kits.
That looks like Clint Eastwood with tits. I figured out the reason she edited out her face.
LoL, I thought it was a dude. Fairly masculine jaw line, what looks to be a Adam's apple and man hands.
Rear bumper is made out of flint.
Younger guys will only see the flames going backwards and not the why. I dated a girl that had one, hated riding in it but the benefits outweighed the risk. Early lesson in risk vs roi.
I hope to see a view like that in about a month!
Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants
Did you see the flight crew? They dressed in 1940's style clothes and played 40's music on the flight.
There was a plaque over the rear door, if I remember, commemorating it flying at D-Day.
I am sure that fella likes a "hard one" all the time. Does his profile pic show himself making out with a fucking plushie???
Quit
I went to the counter and confirmed the flight number of that particular plane then asked the old man what flight he was on. Luckily for him that was his ride and I told him I’d overheard his conversation about his prior service, then informed him that was his flight to Anchorage. His eyes welled with tears and he started crying. It was a cool moment. When he walked out to the bird he looked like a happy young boy. I’m sure it was the highlight of his trip to AK.
Quite awhile back, Era would throw those two planes in the daily flight rotation between Kenai and Anchorage. I was waiting for my ride when they taxied one of the birds on the apron. An old fellow got excited as hell when he saw it. He and his friend started talking and apparently the one guy was a WWII vet and had flown on them in the past.

LAMENT OF AN AFGHAN SOLDIER-2021...
It's like I dont care about nothing man...
Roll another blunt...
Ooohh
La da da da la da da la la da da…
I was gonna fight the Taliban, but then I got high...
I was gonna play RAMBO too, but then I was high...
And now ISIS is also here, and now I know why...
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got hi-igh...
The Taliban broke into my house, but then I got high...
One shot my wife dead on the spot, but then I was high...
Now his dick is in my ass, and now I know why...
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got hi-igh...
They are killing everyone in my town, but then I got high...
My butthole won't stop bleeding too, but then I was high...
Now the goats have all run away, and now I know why...
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got hi-igh...
