RadarMan,
Did you know there is a new DC3 on the market, that get's a great review in this month's PC Pilot mag ??
It's called the R4D-6 / DC3 as it covers both types... It's not cheap at $30 but the 3D cockpit looks amazing...
You can get more info from WWW.MAAM.ORG

The Valiant Air Command is based in Titusville Florida and the flagship of the Valiant Air Command is a C-47 named Tico
Bell. I haven't been up in it but I have been on board the plane. I'm not sure if it is currently flying or not. I do know it had
to make a wheels up landing and sustained some damage.
They put on a War Bird show every year in March. It's a good show. If anyone is in the area when it is going one I would
recommend stopping by.
I lived in that area until 2000 and had been to the Air show many times. The accident happened after I moved from the area
and I don't know the status of the plane.
Here is a shot of Tico Bell:
