Vintage Bird


Kamaka Air's Douglas DC-3S (or "Super DC-3"), N9796N, sits on the tarmac at HNL under the Hawaiian sun doing an engine run-up before embarking on a test flight shortly after being restored in July 2004. The "Super" had undergone a complete overhaul by the Kamaka Air staff and volunteers from August 2003 to June 2004, and was the subject of an article I co-wrote, and co-photographed for "Airways" magazine that was published in the December 2006 issue.

I thought converting this photo to black and white, and the age of the aircraft, it would be a good match.

I like the black and white. It gives it a very vintage look. That looks like a cool plane.
