Great pics! Why don't we go to that place in Atlanta and get typed in it, fix it up and start a Rennlist parts swap delivery service?

Great photos. I just saw a video clip about Buffalo Airline in the NW Terrarotries. They have the last two DC-3s in daily service. Very cool that a plane that old still flies relabily.

I have a friend that did a historical jump from one a few years ago. We normally exit the aircraft standing up right. But in the DC3 the door is too short, so they had a squat to exit. Otherwise, it was a good jump 140 knot sound good for an easy exit.

SIGH
i've spent a lot of time in DAC-3s in the early 80's and had the good fortune of getting out of this one before it burned to the ground.
it threw a blade on the prop, resulting in serious imbalance condition = damaged engine mounting = damaged fuel line = FIRE

scroll forward to about 3:50 if you don't want to watch the entire viddy.

Even though 3s are slow to altitude, nothing sounded better on the ride up.

Lots of them still around. Most are in cargo duty. However, up in Alaska there are dozens in service in all kinds of operations.
