Turboprop DC-3 shutting down after smoke jumper demo. This aircraft is equipped with the Basler Turbo Conversion. Each engine puts out 1280 shp. I was told it shakes like crazy at full power but around 80% it smooths out very nicely.

  • Dont' get me wrong, I like Saabs, but a Saab 340 has nothing on this classy machine.

  • Nice turboprop adaptation! I've even seen a Gooney with 3 turboprops...one on each wing, one on the nose, too! The old radials are getting scarce, turboprop's the way to go.

  • That is 100% pure class! 

  • A SAAB is a SAAB and a DAKOTA is a DAKOTA! If it is a good way to leave all the Dakotas flying, it's OK then!

    Otherwise, the sound doesn't match the shape!!!

    Foxtrot Juliet, the Czech rep.

  • @poptartpencil Maybe for "modern" aircraft, but the DC-3 has been around for 75yrs and has quite a history that adds to its allure. If they started building them again, I'd bet they would sell a ton of them. As they say,,,," The only replacement for a DC-3 is a DC-3"

  • @TV843 sure it does, the saab 340

  • It doesn't get much prettier than a DC-3/C-47!
