          Where the plane caught on fire after they recovered it and tried to get it going?

                That's cool.

                  Very cool! I thought they were going to disassemble it and reassemble/repair it in a hanger somewhere.

                        Have you not seen the documentary they already got him out.

                          Awesome. Would watch again. I'm kind of surprised they couldn't find replacement parts. I thought we had grave yards full of DC3 parts and other planes from WWII.

                          Edit: I'm surprised they had a hard time finding them is what I meant.

                            The graveyards for the WW2 birds have been gone a long time... Yes, a bunch of -3's were built, but the civilian -3 was last built in 42' and the Militarys last one rolled of the line in 45'. almost 70 years ago!

                              The KeeBird was a tragic story. I've got a couple of books on it at home. And it was quite a different situation, since it was in the Arctic.

                              Glad to see this gooney bird saved!

                              Maybe a little less well-known, but still an incredible story is Glacier Girl.
