My experience with that aircraft came in the late 60's when Northwest

was flying DC-3's and I was a passenger from Minneapolis to Huron

South Dakota. Those twin 9 cylinder Wright Cyclones were astonishingly

loud in the cabin, and the aircraft was very rough flying. I didn't stop

hurling until two hours after we landed. Like early V-tail Bonanza's,

the DC-3 would fishtail in straight and level flight. It was like riding

in the back of a 63 Galaxy on the interstate.



Finger lickin' unpleasant.



But still, one of the most historically significant aircraft ever built.

Ah, yes... the unparalleled joy and comfort of a DC-3.. United was still

using those things for regional service during my last trip to the states

back in 2001. I had to fly on one from Dulles to Charlottesville, VA. I was

already in bad shape from bad food on the flight from Seoul to Dulles, then

I had to wait for nearly 6 hours since my flight out of Dulles never showed

up, and it took them that long to get another plane there. Finally got out

on the tarmac and there was a DC-3, in all it's glory... it looked from the

outside like it should have been mothballed after WWII, but, alas, it wasn't

and I had to fly on her. I spent most of the flight in the lav, the rest

with a huge headache and my stomach doing flip flops, all accompanied by

that deafening roar. Never again. I'll take a taxi.

From Dulles to Charlottesville is only 100 miles or so...

The longest hundred miles you'll ever see, is flying it in a DC-3.

I dunno about that. Flying in the Ford Tri-Motor is unbelievably noisy.

But nowhere near as unpleasant.
