Our DC3s will still be operating in Arial work after July 15th. RVL which is a recon company has one of our DC3s on Lease for arial work as we speak. The DC3 shall continue to fly and thre are loop holes which might enable passengers to fly......but for now we are focussing on offering the DC3 to as many people as possible before we have to suspend passenger operations after July 15th.
The DC3s will still be appearing and participating within airshows around the country also.
Like has been stated previous. There are ways in which we can still keep Passengers flying, but the costing of the mods and paperwork to the CAA are just not cost effective in terms of business.
An few examples of the Mods required are emergency escape slides, lockable cockpit doors, weather radar and many more.
All possible - but not relevent or as I say, cost effective for an aircraft that purely flys VFR very rarely above 3000ft and airborne usually a mear 20 minutes at a time.
Who knows what the future holds anyway! :-)
