Something to Lighten Your Day--Do you know what these are and where this photo was taken?

Unless they have watched old movies, many of the younger generation has never seen these airplanes much less know any of their history. So here is a very rare photo. Do you know what type of airplane these are and can you identify the city and possibly a time frame?

Looks like a DC-3 in Phoenix. Aka a Tail Dragger.

Anattin - You are correct, Sky Harbor Airport, Phoenix, AZ - The planes are classed as tail draggers for obvious reasons. Now lets see if anyone can figure out an approximate year the photo was taken and which terminal they were parked at.

I can't answer the location questions but I would put the year at sometime in the early 60's. I used to fly on one from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale twice a month.
