In Vintage.

Miss Montana started life as a C-47, operated stateside by the U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II, and went on to a proud career dropping smoke jumpers from a base in Missoula, Montana. Recently restored, the airplane is the centerpiece of the Museum of Mountain Flying in Missoula. For more about this venerable transport, see the May/June 2020 issue of Vintage Airplane magazine.
