Frank;

Nice job of DC-3 spotting, but I think I have to disagree with the one in Anchorage. It measures 110 feet by 72 feet, too big for a DC-3. The fuselage also appears to be too fat for a C-47/DC-3. I think we are looking at a C-46 here. A few years back I flew for Atlas Air out of ANC, and our office was just north of this ramp. Air Cargo Express (ACE) operated what I was told is the only Part 135 registered C-46 in the world, hauling freight around the bush in Alaska. It lives among a half dozen DC-6s operated by ACE and NAC (Northern Air Cargo).

I fly for FedEx out of ANC now, and when I last taxied out past this ramp, the C-46 was sitting there, still fully operational. Don't worry, though. You are still batting .667 in this post, and that'll get you a job on any major league team in town! ;-)
