Given that 10,174 C-47’s and 607 DC-3’s were built from 1936 to the end of World War II, this sturdy (and technologically advanced for its time) plane will continue to fly for many years. Especially now with many DC-3’s getting modern cockpits and turboprop engine upgrades.

We sent the Russians the plans to make their own version of the aircraft as well. I don’t know how many they made or if there are any still flying, but I kinda doubt it...............
