Matt Gunsch,


As for the C-47 - I think the SAAF still operates them ??



On 12/17/85 NOVA had a program on the 50th anniversary of the first
DC-3 flight.

At that time, Provincetown Boston Airways [Airline?] had one with
logs on 10.3 *years* of flight time. Wonder how many more hours
it now has...?

One of the design team interviewed suggested why it's so sturdy *
long-lived -- They did not know how to make it lighter...
