Dakota!
This morning, I hurriedly snapped this picture from the front lawn under the false belief that I was witnessing a rare appearance by the one DC-3 still flying in NZed.
I don’t think I admit too much by saying I have a soft spot for the old DC-3. Luckily, I’ve since been proven wrong. There are two functioning DC-3s in country, with this one recently returned to Christchurch after a stint as an airliner in Tonga.
Shucks. Now I wish I had put pants on before running out into the yard.
(just kidding, mom!)

My father flew cargo in DC-3’s after nam. Some of my earliest memories are of crawling around in the back of them. Ohio University has one in it’s aviation department, they use it for GPS localizer work. I got to fly it in 1998. Rad day that was. Now go put some pants on before you scare the sheep.
