Remarks: The Classic DC-3 "Rose" preserved in (Museu Asas De Um Sonho) in São Carlos / São Paulo. Administered by TAM Airliners Brazilian Company. This DC-3 served with the 8th Air Force in Europe as a C-53 and saw action on June 7th 1944 (D-Day) over Normandy as a paratroop transport. The "Airbones" of U.S. Army. Rest now my friend, in (Museu Asas De Um Sonho). ")
Remarks: This is certainly a rare airplane to see nowadays. Built in 1943 and built to last. Today it departed Costa Rica for Panama, and then onto her resting place at a museum in Brazil. Thank you to the crew for showing us this beauty.
Remarks: I finally got a chance to get a clean shot of this one in perfect sunlight.....and the fact that the TCM stickers are still on it makes it even sweeter! Ex-USAAF serial 42-68712
