Best aircraft evah

In an article about the fight against the Gulf oil spill, I saw the below pic via NatGeo.



The DC-3. A design from the 30s ... and still going strong. This one isn't even one of the re-engined ones where they put turbo-props on 'em. Nope - just the 'ole radials.

Check out what they are doing with a 70-year old design still - the Maritime Patrol BT-67 is an amazing aircraft.

Sigh.
