Flying the DC3
I love these old classic DC3's and flew in them as a boy.
As a PPL who only flys lighties I am fascinated to know what these AC are like to fly.
After reading the thread by Skyways about the work of Classic Wings I have started this thread to invite pilots to share their impressions and insights about what these old girls are like to fly.
Some of us who have never and probably will never get to fly one would love to know what its like. What peculiar characteristics they have and how hard was it to learn to fly them well.
I read an article on AVWEB by a pilot in the US who was trained and endorsed to fly the B17 bomber for a Warbirds flying group a few years ago and it was great reading.
