dogcharlietree I spoke to soon, you are correct the nose on that DC3 has been modified.
I'm getting old and having trouble finding my dick so making a mistake like that does not surprise me.
I'm sitting here trying to remember if it had weather radar in it and can't for the life of me remember because I only flew that airplane once, ferried it about a hundred miles.
I do recall it had a very nice modern instrument panel with GPS in it.
For what ever it is worth I have more time on DC3's than the PBY.
