| Palm Springs Air Museum Well I finally got to go to this museum, we had a great time and learned allot from some of those great veterans who flew these beauties, especially the B-17 crew. Used the new camera so any advise is greatly appreciated.

| Awesome... I like your photo of the fightdeck and seeing the depth of field... Was that a DC3 or a C47? Did it have pasanger seats or was it set up for cargo/paratroopers? |

| The camo plane was a DC-3 and was set up for troops, it had wood benches on the port and starboard sides. I didn't check the history on it, which I hope to do, but it had signs inside and writing on the bulkhead that were all in Arabic.

| Not bad, Ontos. The inside if an air museum give some challenging lighting and you did pretty well. One thing I would suggest is to watch your horizon a bit. Not a huge deal, but something that easily forgotten. The C-47 was actually outfitted as an electronic combat aircraft and the markings inside are in Hebrew, not Arabic. The Israelis used them for electronic reconnaissance, eavesdropping and they even had a few that had high power transmitters that would emit a signal to blow up mines on the ground as they flew over them. They called them Mallards, hence the stylized Mallard marking. There is another former Israeli C-47 at the Estrella Warbird Museum in Paso Robles and another one at Camarillo with the American Aeronautical Foundation. I wrote an online article about the one at Estrella: Van Gilder Aviation Photography of Southern California- A C-47 with some history Keep experimenting with your camera, you are doing well.  You do have a couple of KC shots that are cool too.
