I flew in DC3's around New England (Eastern Airlines) in the 60's. They were aged even then. They sort of lumbered a bit but were highly reliable. Amazing they are still in the air today.

Although I don’t remember it, I flew in one as a tyke. Cross country from Washington, home to NY shortly after V-J Day. In NYC I grew up near LaGuardia airport and we saw lots of ‘em. Always liked the “thrumming” sound of their engines. :)
