Wild Kat, the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team's C-49 Skytrain. This was their first time jumping from their own aircraft at Reading's WWII Weekend, in the past they've usually jumped from the C-47 Placid Lassie or C-46 Tinker Belle.

Taken on my K1000 with Ektachrome 100D film at sunset. This was my first time trying to shoot slides during anything other than bright sunlight and tbh I don't think it turned out great.

The union representing rapid transit and rail workers in Metro Vancouver has notified its members that all transit may be shut down on Monday. That includes the SkyTrain, buses and SeaBus systems. Global News has obtained a copy of an internal memo from CUPE 7000, which states: “Our friends at CUPE 4500, transit supervisors at Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC), are getting ready to walk out Monday morning. They are meeting with a mediator (Sunday), but if they don’t get a fair deal, they will be withdrawing all services at 3:00 a.m. Monday morning for 48 hours. This will mean a complete shutdown of all bus and SeaBus services in the Lower Mainland for two days.” CUPE 7000 said CUPE 4500 has filed a complaint with the Labour Relations Board against TransLink, BC Rapid Transit Company, West Coast Express and Protrans for taking steps to reduce the impact on customers during the strike escalation.

Riding on the Metro

Haven't posted a skytrain station in ages, think this one brings me up to 10 stations so far in my unofficial skytrain photo project :)

USAAF 43-49219 / ZK-DAK masquerading as NZ3546, making a low(ish) pass over Dairy Flat.

msn 26480 was constructed as a C-47B-10-DK c. 1942 and was taken on charge by the USAAF as 43-49219 c. 1943.

By April 1959, it had been demobilised and sold to Philippines Airlines and given the c/r PI-C486. It flew with them until April 1970 when it was sold to Papuan Air Transport as VH-PNM. It was sold to Anssett Airlines of Papua New Guinea in July that year.

After bouncing around Queensland for a few years it was exported to Aotearoa with the c/r ZK-DAK in 1987.

Seen in D-Day colours. 6/07/04. It wore these colours from 1986-c. 2006.

In plain white livery. 1/12/06. By 2007 it was in RNZAF colours.

The real 3546 was briefly ZK-AWQ before becoming D6-CAG in the Comoros. It was sold to the RSAF becoming s/n 6863 and converted to a C-47TP by WonderAir c. 1980s(?). It became N81907 in 1998 and in 2001 became ZS-OJL. It was last seen in 2006 at Wonderboom National Aiport (PRY/FAWB) sans engines, wings and rudder.

MAPS Air Museum

For our anniversary, my spouse and I (and my service dogs, of course) went to the MAPS Air Museum in Canton, OH. An amazing trip. I'm still sorting all the photos - 230 of them - and plan to post some of them in batches. In particular, the WW2 aircraft and displays from the Ohio Military Museum wing.

As a taste... How's the inside of a C-47 Skytrain sound?

Meet the Ruptured Duck.

Much more to come...

The WWII Airborne Demonstration Team's Wild Kat drops a half stick of paratroopers at the WWII Weekend in Reading, PA, June 2024. The winds were too high on Saturday to properly jump but the ADT gave us a good show on Sunday to make up for it.

Shot on Ektachrome 100 with my K1000.
