Thank you,Ken, appreciate your feedback.

Jesse, My DC-3 history doc shows Man date 5-20-1940, then ownership as follows; into service with American Overseas Airlines, USAAF via Defense Supply Corp, Mid Continent Airlines, merged with Braniff 1952,Trans Texas Airlines, Gulf American Land Corp, Modern Air Transport and on 2/29/1968 went to PBA, Provincetown Boston Airlines. When I worked on this aircraft from 1981-1984 at PBA, it was N35PB. It now flies out of Marstons Mills, Cape Cod, owned by a former PBA pilot.

Hey Gary, thank you very much!
