Watching this begs the question "is there really no modern aircraft that Buffalo could use instead?" Is it simply financially impossible to use modern aircraft or are they not operationally flexible enough?
There have been several attempts at producing a "DC3 replacement", what came closest, Caribou, Skyvan, AN2; any others? Bristol Freighter?
Could anything modern be made as endlessly repairable as a DC3 or has that opportunity been lost to regulations? (If it can be done, I bet it has a pair of PT6s)
