Anyone know where a good quality freeware C-47 can be found for FSX?

Very nice aircraft to fly in the game, pretty smooth and a nice trainer for larger aircraft...

The eurofighter takes the cake for the best aircraft ever though  ;)

Bah, the spitfire has nothing on the eurofighter! The vulcan is pretty nice, but I still like the 'fighter more.

uhhh.... I thought a DC-9 was a variant of the DC-3 would have been quite a sight on D-Day

:-[  im sad now


Possibly confusing 9 with 6? ;D

Later offshoots of the "Gooney" were the DC-4 and DC-6... but it was the C-47 which moved material and paratroopers on D-Day.

But plenty of DC-3 airliners  were impressed from civil service for military transport during WWII... even the civil version was tough and reliable, and could carry way more than it was intednded to.
