Yes, a C-47 will fit under a 777!

I've never really thought of the DC-3 as a small airplane, but the triple 7 makes it look like a toy!

There's some really nice air-to-air formation video about half way in.

Find the DC-3 in this hangar at Oregon's Tillamook Air Museum.

That's kind of emasculating to the DC-3, isn't it?

The OP's picture is awesome. For reference, the ENGINE diameter on a 777 is the roughly the same as the FUSELAGE diameter on a DC-3. That helps put the scales in some perspective.

...and a Grumman Cheetah will fit under a 767.


Don't ask.

When I was working the Mustang gathering in Columbus, OH back '07 I got to watch workers load a 777 engine into an An-124 for delivery to Boeing in WA. According to a local the -124 has a self contained overhead trolley system capable of loading the engine without additional ground support equipment.

Apparently the An-225 can haul them, too...
