A buddy of mine just told me his boss/owner (Citation) called last week and said we are getting typed in a DC3 just for fun. I think its in Ga. at a place called Airline Academy or something similar.Plus you could try Google.

I don't know how much he would charge these days, but you can call TOLAIR in San Juan, and talk to Toledo himself, He is an APD (Or used to be anyway) for his company. As I understand, he used to take folks on actual revenue flights and do training. Who knows, chances are that the emergency won't be simulated

I'm envious of anyone who flew the DC-3. The Marine Corps had a few C-117s,modified DC-3s, left when I was in but I never got a chance to fly one.

yeah,i saw the last one at Quantico, it was based at Iwakuni till '80. Last 3 in the Corps, a Super 3.

I love the ol' gal. Nothing like calling for gear down on an ILS and getting full flaps instead hehe
