Since we have the Dash-8 why don’t we get it’s granddaddy in game. The DC-3 is still getting quite a bit of use in Africa and South America plus it was almost literally used by every airline and air force in the 40s and 50s. The tail dragger would be a lot of fun to fly and capable on landing pretty much anywhere you want.

Im suprised that this wasnt requested before.

One flies cargo from Long Beach to Catalina. That would be a nice flight.
I’ve figured how to land the Spitfire, so now I want another tail dragger.
Yeah they are still pretty popular and I would have taken a ride on a Pan Am one of it wasn’t raining. Would have had to wait for several hours in a hard cold rain.
I posted a pic of it in a closed topic but a company uses it to take people to camps for fishing and hunting and rafting and stuff like that in the summer. The company mainly flies 3 of them and another company uses them for freighters called dessert air
Two words: Super Decathlon.
I like other type of tail draggers.
That’s understandable. With the Super D being an aerobatic aircraft it can’t be for everyone.
True I do really enjoy flying the Decathlon but it’s not as historically significant as the DC-3. Also it’s not a passenger or cargo aircraft .

I say “YAY”.
Aerobatic aircraft aren’t my cup of tea, I like warbirds and transports more.
I might get flagged for this, but if FSX can have it so can we…
You want to know what’s funny. Yay is 100% and Nay is 0%
yes. please add the DC3
I’d be interested to see the cockpit of that beast simulated in IF
Why not? This mega-idol deserves a spot in infinite-flight. Nice to have a turn from commercial…
And my grandfather jumped out of the DC-3s in WWII at D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge and Nijmegan
