Well Mr 2EO,
Its oft been said that 'the only replacement for a DC-3 is another DC-3.'
At the mo, a group in which I have an interest, have commenced 'discussion' about a suitable modern replacement for a C-172RG.
The present machine is performing well, and is 'up to date' with all SIDS etc, however it is still as you define.....
But, it would appear at 'first brush', presently, the only replacement for a good C-172RG, is another C-172RG...??
Any suggestions?
Cheers
