Very cool!

I was lucky enough to fly on one as a kid, about 12yo. The local airline, Air New England, had the DC-3 version for flights from Cape Cod to Boston, Massachusetts. I went to the big city with my Dad, and I still remember walking up the incline, very wild experience. And of course sitting for takeoff, leaning back like (to a kid) an Apollo astronaut was amazing.
