I found a C-47 identified already on the Keyhole BBS Layer but I don't think that it's made it into the All DC-3 listing...
There's my post:

I found another yet unidentified fuselage at Pima, AZ

Just looking at Honduras and noted what looks like a number of Dc3 fuselages just in the tree line on the East side of the airport at Toucontin

I found a few Probable DC-3 Fuselages at the El Salvadorian Airbase where Frank already ID'd 6 whole DC-3s.

Hill - I've been able to confirm that the Malaga find is a DC-3...
There is a picture of it here:

taken in July 2005...
It also shows why the tail may look a little funky in the Earth Google image... Repair/Restoration is underway...

My first DC-3 post was about the tragic crash of a C-47 on Mt. Moran in the Teton Mountain Range of NE Wyoming. Read more about it HERE.
