The picture makes it appear as though there wasn't pavement. That would make for a potentially bumpy landing and taxiing for a passenger plane (like the one in the photo).
But, ah! Airstrips are great fun!

Still, in those early years, the passengers on those planes had leg space, meals (for longer distance flights), and it was a treat to fly.

According to the Wiki link:
Approximately 400 DC-3s and converted C-47s are still flying to this day as a testament to the durability of the design, many examples being over 70 years old.

They were well made, and easier to maintain, considering there are quite of few of them still around.

Understandable, my friend. The loss of a loved one changes everything.

What a wonderful conclusion to years of loss (in more ways than just one)! Such a special tribute to a veteran, not to mention the extra work involved in getting the replacements.

If want to watch that we are discussing a memorial.since I have talked alot about alma Lee loy I figured you might want to see her .she is very forward and has a non sense approach and for her age is intimidating.
I may be recorded for that memorial
