Aging DC-3s serve as ‘buses of the jungle’ in Colombia
Talk about building something that lasts. Imagine flying a DC3 built in 1943 into the jungle- it's like something from an old movie.
When I was living in McAllen Texas there was a freight company based there that was still flying two of these - last week when I was there I noticed that the planes are gone so I assume that they finally succumbed to old age, though it's always possible that they are still flying in Columbia.
