Turbine DC-3s
Has anyone flown the turbine conversions of the DC-3 , Basler DC-3 BT-67 (PT6A-67) and the DC-3C-TP from South Africa (PT6A-65) ?
Dodson (DC-3C-TP) have some take off and landing distances on their website showing 3,600ft or 1,200m runway requirement at sea level , seems like a lot.
If they could operate out of 1,000m sea level equivalent strips I could have a few Indo operators interested.
Any comments on either aircraft from an operator or pilot's perspective would be appreciated especially getting in and out of shorter strips.
