TPBM would have loved to be a successful pirate in the late 1600's and early 1700's.....

Country: | Don't think so... Most of them wound up on the wrong end of a rope. Very

Country: | This is in fact KLM R2D-1 (DC2-142) NC39165. Beautiful aircraft. This
particular aircraft was delivered to Eastern Airlines in October 1934 as NC13736. This is the last flyable DC-2 in the world, and is now on
display in The Netherlands.
TPBM can tell us more...

Country: | It's been bought by the Uiver association's to represent the famous aircraft in 1999. In 2005 it had a little accident with a collapsing undercarriage, but luckily it was repaired in 2007, so could see it flying again last september.
TPBM just woke up
