[simpits-tech] DC3 Pit

[Brian Sikkema]

At the small local airport where I took my flight training there was a DC-3. 
Still there, too, unfortunately I dont think I could get in it myself, and 
I'm fairly certian the cockpit has been fairly modernized so if you want to 
keep it historically accurate it wouldn't do much good.

Sure was a lot of fun shooting approaches at that airport with that bird 
sitting out there (and a Stearman taxiing around at times :)

Hi Gerald.
I can possibly get you some photos and dimensions, there is a DC3 cockpit
(complete with gauges, yokes and seats!) in the back of the local aviation
museum...  But I think there is at least one other DC3 pit builder on the 
list?
