Tuesday July 15th, 2008, saw the cessation of DC-3 pleasure flights in the United Kingdom. New safety regulations brought in by the European Community have made lockable cockpit doors, weather radar and inflatable escape slides mandatory on DC-3-sized aircraft carrying passengers.
Pardon me while I rant explosively
F-ING GREEDY CLAIM LAWYERS will legislate the world to death!
They have no common sense, inflatable air chute on a DC-3?? It's only like 3 feet down, and about half that if it had to belly land.
I know they are working on a way to sue GOD, or at least mother nature, for the various disasters they have presumably caused.
I am not saying all, but the few that CLAIM to be doing it for humanity and really do is for $$$ & €€€.

Life is a risk, we should be thankful for how safe it is, but not be complacent. You never know when some bizzare event will cause you injury.
