I was on one of them!!
On our honeymoon, back in '79, we flew to Cape Cod. Took a Cessna 12 seater there, and a DC 3 back.
They fly two DC 3's. One of them has the record for the most hours on an airframe of all time. That was mid-80's; presumably they still have that record, if it's still flying. I don't know if I was on the "record" DC 3 or not.
Cool flight, though. All 15 minutes of it. The damned planes outlasted the marriage!! <vbg>
cheers, frank
