Got to see a C47 today.....

[flight17]

the difference is wat use did the 109 have after the war?

out of ther 16,000+ DC-3's built, only some 400 were actually DC-3's (437 is the number stuck in my head), the rest were all built for the military. the majority of them were sold to airlines after the war, so alot survived. In fact they were used well into the 70's.

I didn't take that into Account, but it makes sense.

I was at Andrews air force base last weekend for the air show and I saw a C-47 painted with a T9 i believe.  Could be the same one or maybe just a common paint scheme.

could be the same, but i sort of doubt it since this one is in texas. we had a W7 at wings over pittsburgh last year.

Did you tour the C-123 (Thunder Pig)?

I was in Ethiopia back in 1986 and saw quite a few DC-3's still operating at that time in airline service.

I see a DC-3 in the air here every now and again. It's always a beautiful sight and sound.
I think it does cargo mostly, I'm not sure.

I see a few DC-3s every day I look out my office window over looking LAX.  There is a cargo carrier that has 3 of them that has them parked on their apron outside of their hangers.
