"Another moron who shouldn't be writing aviation stories. Over 13,000 DC-3s were produced, just to name one"

But that includes military variants, not just commercial sales. Also at only about 21 passengers per DC-3, the 737 fleet probably far surpassed the DC-3 in the total number of passengers carried, even with the DC-3 being around some 60+ years.

The DC-3 still flys in Alaska - I love sitting outside and watching the air traffic over the city. Nothing beats the growl of a pair of 1,000 Wright Cyclones as a DC-3 departs for the bush.

Anchorage, air crossroads of the world, cool place to live if you like to watch airplanes.
