Rory57 must admit I was thinking the same thing, glad they haven't really or they would not be still flying, but considering the cost of AVGAS over jet fuel how can these piston aircraft make sense,
Or is it the cost of overhauling a turbo prop engine that stops it, the HS 748 springs to mind as a DC-3 replacement,
Long may the old prop liners live on.
