Anyone know if there is a model of a DC3/C47 on floats for FS9? I know they are pretty rare but they do exsits. If there is one would be cool to make!!!

Actually there is only one C-47/DC-3 on floats. the one pictured is owned by Folsom's Air service and resides on Moosehead lake in the back woods of Maine.

I wouldn't mind one for FS myself actualy

i hate to say it, but what a waste of aeroplane. i have seen worse tho Sad

this summer i worked in the SAAF museum where i got to look after the museum's aircraft. they have a dak(ota) there, with her wings stripped off, her interior floor boards ripped up, cowlings off, birds nesting in her, leaking all kinds of things... just sitting there... gettin worse and worse. i tell you.. i think its disgusting how we treat those old warbirds....

I'd assume a ladder:)
There is one in the second photo in the first post.
It also looks as if the floats have steps up to the wings.
