pretty planes

I like that; thanks. Doris Day is smiling, i'm sure. :)

I Googled it, is that a DC-3? :)

That is an R4D-5 Skytrain, a version of the C-47 that was developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3.

It was the first plane to land at the South Pole.
 
I met Yeager and Bud Anderson in the early 90's when they attended a p-51 fly-in in Lakeland, FL. Yeager flew his own P-51 in. I also had the pleasure of having dinner with Tex Hill (Flying Tiger fame) also in the early 90's in DC. Fascinating people.
