It's no longer a DC3 if it's a Basler Turbo conversion.

They used DC-3s in P.R. when I was a kid. We traveled a few times on them.

Why'd they use PT-6s? When they could have used the far superior TPE-331 series.

Really cool aircraft to climb aboard and look around on. As Far as PT-6's, they are the most popular Turbo prop around, something like 70% of planes use them, so logistically you can't beat them, you can find parts everywhere, even in Africa pretty easily. |

DC-3/C-47/C-117 was a hell of an airplane. I have flown in a C-117 many times. I can't imagine how cool it would be with turbo jets.

Got busted and lost the whole works for doing some "freight" business down south. |

There was a Hawkeye? at the FBO today. 8 blades per prop. Yep, E-2 Hawkeye. T-38s, T-6s we get all the time. Had some CH-53s this week also. F-18s come through regularly. |
