BTW, I remember seeing this airplane up close when I had an office located at SBA back in the day.

And here are a couple of quick quiz questions:

1. What type of engines powered this converted DC-3?

2. The original Conroy DC-3 conversion used engines that were different from the powerplants found on the above pictured aircraft. These engines were taken from a civil airliner. Identify these engine types as well as the aircraft type they were taken from and also the airline which operated this "donor" aircraft in scheduled service.

Last call for the two above! Should there be no takers, I shall then provide the answers as well as commentary tomorrow evening.
