Who keeps track of the DC-3s hauling drugs out of South America. I know a man that says he made a living rebuilding the engines on DC-3s for 10 years. When I ask who the planes belonged to he said, "I don't know and I don't ask. They pay me $5,000 per engine and pay in cash." I don't know if it is really true, but somebody has to do it. I'm sure some of them have broken records but no one will ever know. There is a DC-3 in the Charlotte air museum that is beautiful . They say it is flyable but needs some brake work. They still have the oil drip pans under the engines. I was told they all leak oil.
