I ran across that one several years ago as well while reading up on DC-3s. :) I have had a thing for DC-3s ever since I was a ramp monkey for a few that were being used for air cargo in the 1980s. I got to spend an afternoon flying around the Texas countryside in one once, including about 10 minutes of flying time, and I was hooked...

Very interesting and impressive promotion for a commercial. I don't ever remember seeing it on TV.
...Airplane Tough. :cool:

(Now we need them to section the crossmember, swap out the stock springs with air springs and use drop spindles... and give it another tryout. ;) )
