    ...Also note that the camera man crouched down prior to the pass. Can't say I'd blame him!:pac:

    C-47 s/n 42-32832 c/n 9058 makes a fantastic low pass at the DC-3 75th anniversary gathering for "The Last Time" at KSQI Whiteside County Airport on July 25th of 2010.

    Have another look at the video, the wheels are retracted, it doesnt appear to be taking off. Its not unknown for aircraft to make low level runs along the line of the runway.
