Built during World War II, former US Navy and FAA DC-3 was modified to a motor home. The derelict aircraft was moved from Rolla, Missouri to Michigan in 2019 and mounted on a truck chassis. The owner kept as much of the original aircraft as possible, using engine cowlings for front fenders and moving the air stair door to the right for an entry door. The vehicle is registered as a Class A motor home that can be driven in 50 states. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
