Why not a Super DC-3/R4D-8/C-117 with its wet wing, larger vertical
stabilizer to handle more powerful engines, wheel well doors, and larger
interior room? USN and USMC sure preferred them, they lasted a long time.

Either a turbo DC3/C47 or a PBY5 with an added PT6 on centerline. Good
autopilot, radar and loran/loran-C. I'm not the least bit interested in
getting back into combat. Either of those birds can go just about
anywhere that matters to me.
