I've seen that before but it's still amazing to watch. Really speaks to the skill of the repair crew and the sound design of the DC-3 that they could pull something like that off.

It's a turbo prop conversion.... Probably been down there just a few years....
The AF did a similar job with a C-130 a few years ago...

Here's a really awesome video of the job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn8OTFUBMrE

A friend of mine flew it out (not the guy in the video that put it there). I think it was only there for one winter.

Thanks for the other video. So are there any more aircraft that have crashed some place that have been fixed and flown out like this and Darryl Greenamyer's B29 fiasco?
