In case anyone's curious, the plane appears to be a Douglas C-47 Skytrain. It's a great plane with a great history. They were absolutely essential to the success of D-Day and the Berlin Airlift. Despite being 80+ years old, there are many still in service in some of the most challenging environments on the planet.
I may or may not have just been waiting for an opportunity to talk about my favorite kind of plane.
