DC-3 at Midway, interior view

THE INTERIOR OF MOST OF THE DC-3s looked much like the photo taken by Mr Koston.
____________________________________

My first flight was in a DC3 from NAS North Island to NAS Alameda. A night flight and still recall the beauty of San Francisco as we landed. Enjoyed numerous flights thereafter in both DC3 and DC 4s. They were planes that always made me feel comfortable, probably because of the low altitude in contrast with the 707s, etc. Would still prefer the props for casual flights.

The photos of Mr. John Koston live on, providing many viewers with historical views and views that create fond memories of their lives as related to the photos.

C-121 Constellation N494TW : MATS

...the Constellation and the Military Air Transport Service, both dear to my heart in that they took me on some great trips in the USA and Japan back in the early 60s...
