Default GWB will be interested in this !!

I'm having an aircraft kind of day, what with seeing a Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone helicopter(replacing the Sea King for the navy) fly over the house!Then I was watching Plattsburg NY PBS program called "People near here" with Derek Muirden whose two uncles and father fought in WW1 with the Canadian Scottish regiment.He did a feature at the CWM also and found their rscords.Anyway I mentioned being at Plattsburg beach a few years ago on the thread when a green C-47 in invasion stripes flew over the beach.Today on TV , Derek Muirden met the owner, a Jim Doucet who also owns four DC-3's,all based out of Plattsburg airport.It turns out that the C-47 is a movie star,being the aircraft the Dirty Dozen jump from in the movie.Small world indeed !
