Default 1942 DC-3 / C-47 on eBay

Total airframe time: 48,718 hours TTSN. Lessee, @ 150 mph average speed
(cruise is 175 mph) that'd be circa 7 million miles. 7 million/24,000 miles
= 291 times around the world. Quite the old war horse.

For about 25% of the cost of a new Skylane or Cirrus you can have a 1942
C-47 that saw combat in WWII. Of course, the maintenance and fuel prices
might be a little steep - not to mention finding a hanger big enough to
hold the plane. Still, wouldn't it be cool to land at some out of the way
airport for a $1,000 hamburger...
