With the price of fuel these days I'm more likely to turn my rebel into a glider.
The DC-3 does look pretty good for a 64 year old bird, but when you get in close you can sure see it's age. It is well maintained though.

Didn't know a DC-3 could look so spiffed up and cared for. Cool, but ha,
now you'll just want to put a turbine on your Rebel.

It's great to be back on the list. I missed you guys.
I just
uploaded a picture to the "personalities" section of one of the planes I

get to fly at my new job.

Sorry if I'm making you guys jealous. It's a Basler Turbo DC-3, in case

you don't recognize it. The other one is a Twin Otter. I

am a Smokejumper pilot for the US Forest Service based in Ogden Utah and
covering Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico. Basically we drop
jumpers and cargo into remote mountainous areas so they can have a nice

camping trip, and then pick them up

at back-country airstrips. Sounds like fun eh?
