VIN, what VIN question ? ha ha .
Anyway, one last major off topic left turn:
I have a soft spot for the old C 47, I'm enchanted by an aircraft that can fly 2000 miles NS and land on a dirt road without a hiccup (most of the time). I've never been in one that was 100% maintained, but that didn't seem to hurt the reliability. Very tough.
