RE: DC-3 Love
IMO, One of the most Majestic Aircraft of all time!
I helped swap out fabric control surfaces on a DC3 at Teterboro NJ. The plane was set up as a laboratory for instrument calibration.

RE: DC-3 Love
Majestic is an apt descriptor! One of the first airplanes that captured my attention was a DC-3, and my parents even snapped a photo of my fascination. It started a long love affair with aviation of all types.

There is a TV series out there called Ice Pilots that features Buffalo Air. Great show and some real Canadian legends on the controls showing the younger guys the ropes.

There used to be a company that refurbished them with really rich interiors. Just can't remember who, and don't know if they are still around. I flew Air Caribbean in one in 1977...so it has been that long for me.
