Photo Comment

A most rare duo of aircraft in my collection, the left one is C-47A 9U-BRZ, and on the right is 9U-BRY c/n 9369. The Burundi Air Force once operated these two beauties. According to the Dakota bible, both had been withdrawn from use by 2003, but UN employees saw at least one flying up to 2006.
