Awesome.

No matter how many times I've seen the Lanc, the sound of those 4 Merlins still gives me a thrill.

^A very underrated Gen-3 fighter. Rumor has it that when the USAF and US Navy first used F5Es as aggressor aircraft the F5s kicked ass against the F-15s and Tomcats until the pilots of both latter aircraft got used to what an F5 can and can't do as well as benefiting from a 'tweak' or two to the simulated performance of their own missiles.

Over 50 years in service and entirely possible some F-5s will still be operational 15-20 years from now.

Seaplane?

Looks like either a DC3 or C47.

DC3/C-47 it is. I saw one flying in my neck of the woods a few months ago. Amazing after 70+ years.

Looks like it's a C-47:

QuoteThe C-47 differed from the civilian DC-3 in numerous modifications, including being fitted with a cargo door and strengthened floor, along with a shortened tail cone for glider-towing shackles, and an astrodome in the cabin roof.[3][4]
