  • What an adventure! Flying A C-47 / DC-3 in Colombia.
    On May 10-2000 I climbed aboard the C-47A HK-3037, former 43-16082 USAAF, for a flight to Miraflores. Accessible by air and river, Miraflores is an island in the forests of southern Colombia that is home to thousands of hectares of illicit crops as well as the dissident 1st Front of the demobilized FARC guerrilla group.

We can never give the just amount of praise to Columbia’s pilots, crews, & maintenance staff. Great job to all of you wonderful people. May God continue to bless you. Thanks again.

    "The COM panels have been updated" - glad for all the modernization that is practical for this wonderful bird. At the AA Museum, Irving, TX, there is the original model but sadly one cannot sit in the seat for obvious reasons (childhood memories from the late 50s when we routinely be given the chance at a small airfield). For the rest of us there is FlightSim. Thanks for the video.

    Estos DC3, lo mejor que ha habido en mucho tiempo de la aviación mundial, se pueden transformar a BASLER BT 67 con motores turboelice de 5 palas y se someten a una restauracion total de carroceria, alargandola para cambiar el centro de gravedad y nivelar los pesos. Igualmente, se le hace una instalacion electrica y electrónica de hoy, cambiando la aviónica y sus controles o manometros, para tener tecnología de punta en estos aparatos que por su diseño siguen operando hasta finales de este siglo XXI. En EE UU hay una compañía que efectúa esta transformacion y ello vuelven a volar con toda la seguridad requerida hoy.
