• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

DC-3 On The Way, Not AH??

I d hope that if this second bird exists, that it’s going to represent a different era/model (Super DC-3, anyone?)

NO!!!

Would you really like to fly with a barndoor as vertical stab, ugly gear doors, ugly stubby engine nacelles ?.... Half of the beauty of the DC-3 has been ruined here !

No, really please don't get ideas into the head of the mysterious "new DC-3 to be" developers. Let them do a proper DC-3/C-47 first before even thinking about that ugly Super DC-3. I mean, atm we have no DC-3 at all, right ? A DC-3 doesn't need to be 'Super'. The most beautiful DC-3 is just what it is, a DC-3. Leave 'Super' in the capable hands of Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster and Stan Lee.

Well, IMHO only of course, Denny, but still.. :)
 
Agreed, the Super DC-3 /C-117 was a bit of a hound to look at, but I gradually warmed to it after Manfred Jahn released his freeware one.
