Ameri ga vratili u zivot
Gooneybird on floats returns to the air
Citat:The world’s only float-equipped Dakota, DC-3A/C-53D N130Q (c/n 11761) based at Greenville (ME) returned to the skies on 14 September 2024. A unique event, as the last time it flew as such was as long ago as 2004.
The idea behind a floatplane version of a Dakota was not a new one, as it had been studied during World War II. After test flying two float equipped C-47s (one of these was XC-47C 42-5671 which made its first flight in July 1942) the EDO company produced 32 sets of floats. However no further C-47s were converted.

^^Ali ce ipak leteti po malo...
Citat:The DDA board revealed yesterday, 19 October, during a meeting for donors and sponsors that the PH-PBA will remain in the Netherlands. The historic airliner will be passed on to the Aviodrome museum in Lelystad.
It will continue to fly albeit in a lower frequency, still supported by a group of DDA volunteers, both crew and technicians. These flights will take place under a changed regime, as DDA Classic Airlines until now operated under an official AOC (Airline Operating Certificate). Releasing the AOC status will provide a substantial financial advantage over the current situation. From this moment on, DC-3 flights by Aviodrome will only be possible for donors and sponsors.
