View Full Version : Sad day at my home airport DC-3's Last "Flight"

Earlier this week we had an F1 tornado visit the airport. It missed the
buildings (and my hangar!), but went across the south side of the airport
where 4 C-47's have been rotting since their retirement in the late 1980's.
Airport is VIH Rolla National Airport (former Vichy Army Airfield) Missouri.
There is one more on the ramp that went untouched.

Great photos.

They reminded me of seeing photos of an autopsy, however, with a old and
dear friend under the knife.

Dave,
I know what you mean. Those 3's have been out there since I was old enough
to recognize them. Sounds like they are going to get cut up and scrapped.
That's what I got from one of the owners.
