mvsgas Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I started to read a magazine article that was talking about Colombia's Air Force (FAC) AC-47. Who would have guess the C-47 would be flying, 74 years after they where introduce? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JadyoMjO7WQ/VZ9EdOxMO6I/AAAAAAAAGNc/S_-GdbMXl_Y/s1600/FAC1654%2BAC-47T%2BFuerza%2BA%25C3%25A9rea%2BColombiana%2BAvion%2BFantasma.jpg Adding to that, AFAIK, South Africa's Air Force (SAAF) also flies the C-47 http://www.defenceweb.co.za/images/stories/AIR/Air_new/c47_2008nov20.jpg I remember seeing these DC-3 conversion in Oshkosh EAA back in 1998, but I thought they where private aircraft. This made me think; what other countries or companies are flying aircraft that we thought would be long gone? - For example B-52 are still in military service after 61 years. - Some private companies in the US are using the Hawker hunter and the F-21. http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/7/8/1/1971187.jpg and even the A-3 Skywarrior NTA-3B, N879RS formerly carried BuNo 144856 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
