I hate it when one of these gets hurt. ...hopefully she's not beyond repair.

Not sure but it does look like one of the DC3's posted in the history and trivia forum.

BTW, it's a turboprop converted DC-3, so jet fuel is correct. Pic: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Aero-Modifications-65TP/1350024/M/

Yeah.

The owner got tired of filling the oil reserves so he had it converted.

Sick.

Besides that, the starboard motor was leaking more oil than the port-side. They couldn't fix the port-side one to make it right.

My reality and yours are quite different.
