    Cool video of OBR and the WWII cargo plane they are using to fly relief to the Bahamas

    2017 Top 10 CNN Hero Stan Hays and his team are busy providing BBQ meals for survivors and first responders after natural disasters. Hurricane Dorian marks the group’s first overseas effort and its 3,000,000th meal.

    Wow, a working C-47! There were over 16,000 DC-3/C-47s built, over 300 still in service today, many still working (rather than as display/museum pieces/test riders). That is a testament to the air frame, one of the best ever made.

      Yup, Miss Montana, great plane. The C-47 Skytrain (not Flying Boxcar) was a real work horse.

        Although they are all called DC-3s today, there were only a few hundred true DC-3s. All the rest were C-47s.

      I still see them parked at airports all around the world. Yea, some have trees growing through them.
      C-119 was the flying boxcar.

        You are so right, the C-47 was the Skytrain. Must be the Alzheimer kicking in....

        Stan deserves a bank account to reflect his efforts to help others. So nice to see good people on the news.
