Any Piston Or Turbine Dc-3 Operators In The Lower 48?

Rhoades used to have the USFS contract, but lost it. I just talked with one of their pilots, and I guess they are not flying that much anymore! They do have 1 cv640, and dc3-t operating though.

I know the DC-3T runs because they ran up the engines while I ate breakfast at the "hanger" the other day. However, I have yet to see it fly...I heard that they have some DC-3s stored over at Seymour as well as the one over by the Cummins Hanger that is "parted out". Also last fall they were flying the orange CV-640 (as per flightaware) but I haven't really seen it move that much. A friend from North Vernon who flew from there told me they have some South American contracts as well as some Africa work.

There is 4-Star in South Florida/ P.R. They were looking for crews lately.
