A DC3 group is just a pipe dream, there is no realistic way that this group would work, now lets see, twenty people in the group so that's 20 people trained up to fly this taildragger. I suppose with 20 different pilots that it would be no problem for all of them to be up to speed with flying it and what is the cost of remaining current on an aircraft such as this? ok, so say that just 6 people would fly it and the remaining 14 members would be happy standing at the side of the runway watching? I think not!

I seriously don't believe the plan would work as a private group ownership even if the aircraft came for free. This thread belongs in jet blast !
