Fopr expo 86 in Vancouver, Canada there was a get together of about 50
DC-3s. On the last day of their get together they did a fly buy of the
cities in the area. Our little town of Friday Harbor is on an island in
between Canada and the rest of the US and certainly not on any scheduled fly
over route. So there we were, one sunny afternoon, the entire town standing
on the street corners gaping skyward in disbelief, watching DC-3s fly past
for close to half and hour. I have been told that there will probably never
be a get together of those aircraft again.
