Legendary indeed - definitely worthy of a bump! You got my vote!
Check out these photos of Alaskan DC-3
The distinguished Douglas Commercial 3 was the epoch of the Golden Age of Flying and Commercial Aviation. It became the foundation for the national fleets of airlines around the world.

Bump?
Ten char
Piston engines for life!
It would be so awesome to have a DC-3 in infinite flight. It would add more diversity to the fleet + a vintage, tail dragger airplane that can be used to fly passengers and/or cargo.
There are now turbo prop versions of the DC-3 such as the bassler but it would be great to have the original DC-3 with a C-47 livery :)

What can we do to bring this beauty to IF?

Storm the beaches of IF headquarters and demand they add it in braille. 😂🤣
😂 😂 😂 😂 This made me laugh out loud.
What is that even supposed to mean?
You make your demands in braille. It can’t be any more clear than that. Lol

Hopefully we can get the C-47 together with the DC-3. AFAIK, the only difference was the rear cargo door.
Both photos are mine. They were taken at the MNA in November 2023. The first one is named “Independencia,” registration LQ-GJT, and was the first Presidential aircraft used in Argentina. The second one is TA-05 “El Montañés,” the first aircraft to ever land in Antarctica. The first one is a DC-3, and the other one is a C-47.
Both are very colourful and would be a good addition to IF. If the aircraft is ever added.

Last update was this past August. After the release of the Max and NEOs, we should push for a classic propliner, and this one would be perfect!

Last activity on this topic was on September of this year, we should consider adding this classic airliner to the IF fleet. It was, after all, the workhorse of every airline in the post-WW2 world.
