2019 was a great year for the Museums Backcountry DC3. It was an incredible experience to see Miss Montana land in Seeley Lake. I'm looking forward to Moose Creek hopefully this year!

A great interview with Eric Komberec and Bryan Douglass by Kpax TV.

What a neat story for Backcountry aviation. Big things happened under the Big Sky, to Normandy and Beyond!

Thanks for posting the video Rich. It was especially interesting to me. Here's a photo of the jumpers getting ready to load up in Miss Montana. Taken in 1949.

Great historical photo, thanks for posting!

N24320 or Miss Montana taking off from Moose Creek Ranch after hauling in hay for the outfitter and hauling out a generator. The USFS bought the ranch, burned down all buildings, broke up all the concrete and buried it. The owner/outfitter was using tents for his last clients that fall. I took the picture in 1965 or 1966.

Here's a poster I have of Miss Montana's sister ship, N4867V.
I saved this from the trash pile when a guy was cleaning out his hangar at my airport,
so don't know the location, date or anything else.

Taken on the Johnson ramp in Missoula, sometime after the Snoopy was painted on the tail in 1966. Clay Lacy owns this DC-2 now with a different N number. He restored it back to it's airline glory days.
