Here are 8 DC-3s at Oshkosh Airport. This is a low-res area unfortunately, but I can't wait to see this in High-res! I also have spotted a red Hawker Hunter here.  DC-3s in Aerial View

This is an AC-47 "Fantasma" (Ghost), military version of the Basler Turbo Conversion BT-67, equiped with Color FLIR and tree 7,65 guns. I think this is the FAC 1670 based in the Marco Fidel Suarez military base

There are many hundreds in the collection. Can you specify which one you are referring to by providing a link to the post or copying and pasting coordinates of the plane?

In the movie "Island In The Sky", John Wayne as "Dooley" lands a DC3 on a frozen lake somewhere up North. Anyone know where that happened (for real) and if the DC3 is still there?

UK Civil Aviation Authority officials are willing to put a safety case before the European Commission to assist a bid by operators of vintage aircraft, notably the Douglas DC-3, to avoid being banned from transporting passengers under new regulations.
Introduction of the EU-OPS rules on 16 July will mean aircraft with more than 19 seats will have to comply with common requirements, including the carriage of equipment which some operators claim is unnecessary and prohibitively expensive.
Coventry-based Air Atlantique, whose Classic Flight division operates several types of pre- and post-war aircraft, has warned that failure to find a way around the rules will effectively ground its DC-3s. The company is preparing a ‘farewell tour’ with the type, covering 18 UK airports in five months, to give people a final chance to experience a DC-3 flight.
“It’s becoming harder and harder to operate these aircraft,” says Classic Flight chairman Mike Collett. “The problem is that it’s not entirely clear what we have to do to get them flying into the next decade.”
