That is so Awesome! The view, especially the windshields, reminds me a bit of driving my '57 Crown bus. Except for the instrumentation and the part about leaving the ground LOL! I would love to own one someday, to be able to go where the bus can't...
You think that keeping clean windows would be a priority, especially in bright, harsh sunlight. Those look like my old professors glasses. FILTHY. What a great plane the DC3 is. Still in commercial service around the globe. I would love to have one to restore. A great weekend project (for many years). Great post.
Cockpit view reminds me somewhat of my 1973 Land Rover. Obviously, fewer dials etc, but the split windscreen, noise & vibration are similar. Thanks for posting this, I've always been a fan of the DC3.
what's the exacty takeoff time?

Very awesome! I wonder how much it would cost to own one of those. Maintenance cost and everything

@alexancia5279 They average 200k and figure $1500hr operating expenses, and well worth the cost

The sound of the P&W R-1830-92s at full bore on take off gives me an orgasmic pleasure.
