In the tail you will find a boxer in the US Flag colours. On the rudder a woman is painted holding a globe and the text surrounding that is saying "Semper Ubi Sub Ubi" which means something in the line of "always wear underwear". The name mentioned in orange is Mary Green. After some research I came up with the following: Owner at that time was registered as Victoria Forest and Scout LLC, San Fransisco, CA and the CEO was Steven L. Swig and the name of his wife was Mary Green. The aircraft had an extended nose, which apparently contained a weather radar. The normal nose was re-installed later

A nice surprise that certainly made my day! Parked up at Felts Field awaiting sale after the closing of the Historic Flight Foundation following the crash of their Spitfire and subsequent lawsuit in Summer 2023.

N877MG remained at Duxford for Flying Legends, after previously attending Daks D-Day 75 in June 2019, before returning to USA

Originally delivered to USAF in July 1944 as 43-16340.

Registered to the Historic Flight Foundation, this classic has found its way to Sealand in Campbell River for refurbishment. The FAA lists this as cn 4193, which is actually a Douglas line number (no DC-3 with cn 4193 was ever built).

Rare look inside this executive transport.

Landing Rwy 30 for a nightstop on his way home after attending the D Day 75th Anniversary celebrations.

On the Rwy 30 approach after crossing the Atlantic en-route to Normandy for the D-Day 75th Anniversary celebrations. It will stop here for a few days and be on static display.

Built as a C-47A, this DC-3 never served with Pan Am but rather with that very historic Chinese airline, CNAC. Flown to Hong Kong at the end of the Chinese Civil War, she later led a duller life.as a corporate transport with various businesses in the USA.

Wonderful Paine Field! The best of the old and the new (the old is the more interesting for me at least!).

Simply gorgeous! For me this ranked above all the 787s that I shot during my visits to PAE on this trip.
