DC-3 Eastern Airlines, New England Air Museum, Connecticut Eastern Airlines bore the title 'The Great Silver Fleet' on their airliners for some years. They were also a significant user of Douglas's masterpiece, the DC-3. Here we see a fine example in the New England Air Museum in Connecticut. This aircraft was built as a DC-3, but taken over by the USAAF on the production line, and issued as a C-49J. From 1942 to April 1945 it undertook the many duties of a wartime transport, until converted back to a DC-3 and purchased by Eastern Airlines. #Connecticut, #C49 #Douglas #EasternAirlines #NEAM #NewEnglandAirMuseum #NewEngland #aviation #history #photography #aviationphotography #TheGreatSilverFleet #WW2 #USAAF #airliners #trooptransport #aviationlovers #avgeek #aviationgeek #airline

Fairchild Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II This example of the impressive A-10A is seen at the New England Air Museum. It wears the markings of the 118th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 103rd Fighter Wing, Connecticut Air National Guard. Sadly, the CT ANG has lost both the A-10A and its role as a Fighter Wing. It is now designated as the 103rd Airift Wing and flies the Lockheed C-130H3 Hercules out of Bradley International Airport, CT, USA #AirNationalGuard #ANG #USA #CT #Connecticut #Lockheed #C130 #Hercules # FairchildRepublic #A10A #ThunderboltII #Thunderbolt #UnitedStates ##103rdFW #103rdTAW #BradleyInternationalAirport #NewEnglandAirMuseum #aviation #avgeek #museum
