This is ANA's second Douglas DC-3 (c/n 2003), VH-UZK, "Kurana". Kurana was delivered to ANA in December 1937, and would serve ANA until September 11, 1939 when it was briefly impressed into RAAF service wearing the serial A30-2 while flying with 8 Squadron. Kurana was returned to ANA service in February 1940. She would serve with ANA until November 8, 1948. On that date while flying from Melbourne-Essendon to Denilquin, the aircraft was seen passing Mount Macedon township at low altitude. The aircraft then struck cloud-covered Mount Macedon near the summit. While 19 passengers survived the crash, sadly, both the pilot and co-pilot perished.

Thanks a lot for giving the contact details on pilot training school. I was searching the best aviation academy for applying pilot training programs. Now I will visit this Miami-Dade Junior College student pilot training. www.pilotstrainings.com/

i'm curious to know why they were left behind, and how they were being shot at so quickly after such a relaxed looking photo.

Anyone know why there is holes in the windows? Air pressure issue maybe?
Just Plane Photography said:
The holes were for ventilation. C-47s usually flew below 10,000 feet, eliminating the need for cabin pressurization. The aircraft flew so slow that some pilots would actually open the cockpit window to get a breeze in on a hot summer day.
