Behind the Benjamin O. Davis aviation school sits what appears to be an old derelict airliner, possibly a DC-3?

Does anyone know the identity or history of this aircraft. I have looked to see if I can find a photo in the gallery but no joy there!

Thanks for any info.

I know that thing has been back there forever, but I have no idea of its history or what else is back there. For a while there were quite a few derelict aircraft there.

I thought I replied to this one before but - there is an old DC-3 back there.  I'll have to ask around if anyone knows anything about it.

At 10am this morning I saw the cockpit & fuselage of this aircraft on a Low-Loader on E55th Street bridge over the Lakeshore Expressway as I drove home from the airport. No markings visible. So it has now gone from BKL! Frown

Wasn't that a DC-3 used for maintenance training at the old Aviation High School?

Constant must be moving in soon then right? Seems like they are cleaning up?

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
