Turboprop Conversion of DC3

[WebRuss]

I have a special place in my heart for the venerable DC3 as I spent a year, sometimes in the cargo hold and sometimes in the right seat on one of these marvelous craft hauling cargo.

Basler is performing a turbo conversion and stretch of the DC3 to extend the life and usefulness of these amazing birds. http://www.baslerturbo.com/ Check out the video on the manufacturing page.

I don't know how I feel about it but good for them increasing the useful life of such a great aircraft.
