"That's All, Brother"
Douglas C-47A 42-92847, c/n 12693, registered N47TB.

I apologize for the quality of the video. I was sitting in a troop seat with my seat belt fastened, while twisting around to hold my phone near the window that was behind me. I just wanted to capture a bit of how the takeoff and initial climb looked and sounded.

"That's All, Brother" led the 800 C-47s of the USAAF's IX Troop Carrier Command across the English Channel to drop 13,000 paratroopers on the night of June 5-6, 1944. It served in further combat and support operations through the end of WWII in Europe.

This historic aircraft was acquired and restored by the Central Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force.

"That's All, Brother"
Douglas C-47A 42-92847, c/n 12693, registered N47TB.

I apologize for the quality of this video, too. By this time in the flight, I was able to move around inside the troop compartment, but holding my phone steady near a window was still a challenge. This is the only other video clip I'll be posting, just to share a brief sample of the sights and sounds during cruise flight.

Why does the propeller look so strange, and appear to be turning in the wrong direction? See this explanation from Popular Mechanics:

Video of workers clearing away the limbs that had fallen from my neighbor's tree - see flic.kr/p/2dCK5Nj.

That chipping machine is terrifyingly efficient. I missed catching it on video, but it digested the largest parts of the fallen limbs with what appeared to be relative ease.
