DC-3 loading; plus dirt diving

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: DC-3 loading; plus 'dirt diving' in the foreground - practicing exiting the aircraft on the ground, with 2 people 'playing the door', then sky divers run into the formation they'll attempt in the air, with the first two - 'base' and 'pin' connecting up and others 'fly' (run) into the growing formation. It doesn't always follow that the formation will actually get built in the air, but practice always helps. This C-47B (DC-3 - C-GSCB) was at the Goderich Airport in W:Ontario, W:Canada in 1977. These two planes, along with a Lockheed Lodestar, were supporting the Skydiving Jamboree as part of Goderich's Jubilee 3 celebrations. More info in the Goderich Airport article.

Status of plane as of June 2020:

  • C-GSCB, first flown in 1944, was in service until January 2020, when it joined the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum in Dallas, TX[1]
