Full fuel leaves room for 2000lbs or two of your GoldWings and their
riders(at least if one of the riders can fly the plane) so I guess you'll
need two of these!

And here is the single engine version of the Explorer sold in Canada. A
flying motor home.

This one sounds really interesting! However, how would one get the
bikes in and out?

Hey, no need to get fancy. The question was about carrying bikes. No
one said anything about getting them out of the airplane.

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

DC-3,of course.
Go in style, David!

What would you guys recommend to carry 4 or 5 GoldWings and their

one that mere mortals can afford, so 747's and C5's are out.

Thanks,

We flew to San Juan, P.R. this last spring. As we were taxiing to the
terminal, I counted at least 30 DC-3's at various places on the ramps.
Most of them looked to be actively in service. Thought we had gone
through a time warp. . .

How very strange, Rich
..
I went by Tradewinds (DC-3 yard in San Antonio) to see old man Ormand, and
was
surprised how much they have expanded
Literaly stacks of new shipping containers full of stuff.

Mebbe Douglas opened a new plant?? Damn! Now if somebody will just start
cranking out '57 Chebby convertibles. . .

I wonder if someone was to invest in the tooling to put the DC-3 back into
production, how much demand there would be, and how much they would have to
charge per copy to break even?

Perhaps use a turboprop, but offer a radial, also.
