One more thing to consider, as of last year, Basler had completed 66 of the BT67 conversions (Not including Thats All Brother) I think two have been destroyed? Also Preferred Turbine 3 is another company in the US also doing the conversion, they had a fatal crash a few months ago, I think killing the owner, so I don;t know what will become of them, but at least we know between them, there are ~70 Turbo's in service (Not including the old South Africa Air Force Turbo's)

And also:
Mauritania Air Force
Mali Air Force


Why is the South African Turbos considered as old? They were also upgraded during the early 1990s. Is it not almost the same as the Basler conversions?

Here is the list of active South African Air Force C-47TPs:

6814, 6825, 6828, 6839, 6852, 6854, 6885, 6887


It looks like the Colombian Air Force has six BT-67s operational, and not only 4. You must also add FAC1683 and FAC 1686 to the list.


Thank you Marksman. I have had those added, but I've only been keeping the main thread updated, which is "stickied" at the top of this forum page: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=65826

As good a place as any to throw in this discussion by Mikey McBryan on DC-3 prices.

What about IL-2T HA-LIX still flying with Goldtimer Foundation.

Also believe both China and North Korea have IL-2T's still flying

I have had HA-LIX on the list since the beginning of doing this. All updates to the DC-3/C-47 list are only been made here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=65826
