The last time I was in La Paz, Bolivia a local air freight company was still flying DC-3s. Well made aircraft.

It was long ago now and I was very young, but I (and a buddy)were smuggled on to the what was supposedly the last commercial C-47 flight in the U.S. some time in 1967 (?) Braniff r/t from K.C. to Des Moins. Stew was a friend. Been parting late with the crew and was surprised when my fellow partier turned out to be the pilot. I asked him if he suppose to be flying when he had been drinking eight hours previous to flying and he stopped dead on the tarmac, looked me straight in the eye and said “No. No drinking drinking within 8 feet of the aircraft”. Flew to Iowa
for breakfast and made it back to Whiteman AFB for swing shift gaurdmount. I swear it's true.
