Thanks, Barry.  The AOPA magazine ran an article on those guys some time 
back.  They really put those old airplanes to work.  Fortunately, they have 
enough business to keep them flying.  The DC-3 here, along with a Beech 18 
parked behind it, were trying to make a go of it hauling skydivers on 
weekends.  As long as nothing breaks, it works.  Unfortunately, when major 
work is required, they just get parked because there is no money put back 
for repairs.
