Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

WOW, that fisrt one is brilliant! Although it is not operational in the true sense it looks beautiful and unreal. Well done!

Hi,

Had the luck to get a platform tour on Ciudad de Guatemala-La Aurora a couple of weeks ago

DC-3TP "530";
Image

Was standing on the operational platform, but not sure whether it still flies with those old engines, C-47A "540"
Image

DC-3TP "560". Note the decorations on the roof ;-)
Image

DC-3TP "590"

Just block the turboprops in your mind, and this becomes a classic Skytrain :wink:
