The C-47 will go down in history much like the B52. Both planes that have gone well beyond their life's expectancy and are still shown to be very useful aircraft. There are still many DC-3 (civilian version of the C-47) in service today and many have been converted to turbo props.

My brother is doing all the reconfiguration and avionics on these Tucanos and an L39 that are being used by our military for training and subcontracted thru Valkyrie. He took me through their facility where the work was being done in Phoenix which I was surprised he could do. There were many other projects he is working on such as a command center semi truck and trailer that were totally off limits to me.
