DC-3 Parked at Hillsboro Oregon Airport (KHIO)

I was visiting the Hillsboro Oregon airport back in August 2009 and was lucky enough to see this beautiful DC-3 parked out front of Aero Air (FBO) as they were prepping it for departure.  The sun was just setting and the plane was reflecting the orange and deep blues of the horizon.  I quickly walked as close as I could to the tarmac but the fence prevented me to get any closer then about 75 yards from the plane. Luckily that was just enough to frame this shot, 5 sec's before they fired up the left engine.
