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.
