DC-3

Here are a couple of videos of Buffalo Airway's DC-3's. Buffalo Airways, located in Yellowknife, NWT in Canada is one of the last commercial operators of DC-3's. She is beautiful, isn't she?

Specifications for the DC-3 may be found here.

A I understand it smoke jumpers used relied heavily on DC-3's for a lot of years. Other aircrafts such as Sherpas are being used by smoke jumpers, but the DC-3's are still around. For example, the fleet of aircraft used by the Missoula Smokejumpers includes a turbine DC-3.
