Oshkosh Airshow 2001
and the DC-3/C-47's in Attendance.
Below is a selection of photographs, all of which have been
taken by myself at the Oshkosh Airshow, Wisconsin, USA. Oshkosh
is the biggest Airshow in the world. Basler Turbo facilities are
based at Oshkosh, they convert C-47's (not DC-3's) to the BT-67
Turbo-prop. They always have a large stock of C-47/DC-3's, and
what they do not convert, they sell as spare parts to DC-3
owners. Other than Basler Turbo, Oshkosh brings many DC-3/C-47
visitors and I usually try and manage to photograph them all,
over the course of my three day visit. I miss just one or two
each year but get those the following year. I think you will
find, that Oshkosh Airshow is certainly the place to be if you
are a Goonery bird fan like I. If you have any questions or
comments about any of the photo's, please E-Mail me and I
will reply to you swiftly.
The following inventory list may be of help. 26 DC-3/Variants at Oshkosh 2001 this
year, the lowest number in a long time (and I did not miss any). The United
Airlines DC-3 N814CL was the star of the show.
