That’s quite a comprehensive list. Looked for DHC2 Beaver I flew which was a former Ontario Gov’t owned plane. It was built in 1947 and I believe had a low serial number....#13? CF-OBY.

Also looked for this DC3 which was one of six I have flown on wheels and skis in northern Canada. I even helped repaint this one a year before when I worked for MB’s DNR out of Gimli. After some TLC and a complete overhaul is still flying in the US.

Is the overwing exit window open?

Yes. Not sure if that was a USAF policy or just a hot day at DFW. The one souvenir I have from my DC3 days is that hatch.

I had not thought of the air conditioning requirement.
