this ex-Military, Douglas C-47 came from a small private airport in the Florida swamp where it landed on its final flight in 2004, on a single engine. She slowly sank over the next 4 years, but didn't corrode

very small airstrip right in between the swampy grounds of Shell Creek, east of Punta Gorda, FL.

The fact that this aircraft made her final landing on private property may have protected her from the souvenir hunters
