Looked at another way, the nose in the air is sort of "uppity"! They
look down on the lowly tricycles as "kid's play".
I will continue to follow the work on the Dakota, as it's known on your
side of the pond.

As many of you may know from my photos, the DC-3 Mister Douglas, which had a
storied career following its launch in April 1941, has sat as a beloved
monument at our local airport since losing an engine while hauling skydivers 18
years ago. Now, an effort is underway to get it back in the air, once again
hauling skydivers.
A Florida group has re-covered the fabric control surfaces, and has one
zero-time engine. They are currently in a fund-raising effort to get a second
engine. Today, I visited with them during a 2-day work project to remove one
engine and reinstall control surfaces.
