Skytrain fogged in

The Douglas C-47D Skytrain sits in the installation’s Heritage Air Park during one of the foggiest days this month with visibility recorded at less than a quarter mile and far less in some areas March 27, 2015, at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. Typically, the base experiences an average of 11 foggy days each March, but this year, the 92nd Operations Support Squadron has recorded far fewer foggy days. Fairchild acquired the C-47 in 1984 and was previously flown primarily as a military transport developed from the DC-3 with modifications to the cargo door and a strengthened floor.
