ScottGridley Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hi all, Just got Manfred Jahn's C47/DC3 running in P3Dv4.1 and I'm looking for semi-authentic routes in southern AK, PFJ, PNW or northern rockies since Buffalo only operates east of there. Any real world current or recent routes you might suggest? THANKS! sg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickel Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Glad to be of help. It's my go-to site for when I want to fly any airliner driven by turbojets or pistons. The other one that's a little more current is: http://www.departedflights.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Congratulations on your Manfred John C-47. It's a delight to fly and really can take you just about anywhere. Another possible resource--many states publish small-field guides for GA pilots. Idaho, for example. has a list of some sixty short fields. Just start by Googling the state and GA airports and fields. Might find some gems in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNZ Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Great idea Rodger as that's the flying I really like. Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottGridley Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks all. Great stuff. Interestingly, you can enter tail numbers into flightAware and see recent routes. I'm trying to find some actual in-service tail numbers for DC-3/C47s. Anyone have a list of those? I found a reference on airliners.net to a book published ten years ago, but there should be an up-to-date resource online...no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnfromoz Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Scott, doesn't Airliners.net let you call up aircraft by various criteria,? Searching "DC3" (or C47") and, say, Alaska, would probably unearth some tail numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick search at Airliners.net and I see N61981, a vintage United DC3 was at sun-and-fun. Plug the tail number into FlightAware and I see it hasn't flown in the last four months, but a plan from KOSH to 2B1 was filed a while back, and looks like a fun route! This is perfect!

johnfromoz Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Gotta say I've done this a bit finding paints, when I used to do that. But - just cos we can - I sometimes open our local air traffic, pick a flight, find a pic on airliners.net, step out into my driveway and spot the plane (or photograph it) then go to the airport webcam and watch it park ... so colour me 'geek'.
