I've flown on that from Pole. Was a very smooth flight except for the last little bit over the ice shelf before McMurdo.

i swear, then turbine nacels look like they are off of a beechcraft. someone must have flipped their plane, and got these off of the salvage. roflmao Anyway you look at it though, that's a whole lot of kick for a DC3, and I like it. Nice.
