One of my favorite all time birds.
Seen and photographed it on several occasions. The last time at Champlin when it was being overhauled and sanded down.
I had spent an hour or so photographing their HE-111 cockpit and crew compartment and was leaving when I saw these two guys working on the Dora in a closed off area.They invited myself and a friend in and I saw her completely sanded down bare metal in prep for the paintjob shes wearing now .
I have sad memories of that day, as shortly after I returned home I read that the 111 had crashed on attempting to land a few weeks later killing both crew members on board.
