Basler BT-67
The Basler BT-67 is a comprehensive turboprop rebuild of the Douglas DC-3, with a stretched fuselage, new wing structure, and Pratt & Whitney Canada engines. It gives a 1940s airframe modern reliability for polar, cargo, and survey work. It is far more than a simple re-engine.

Did you know?
Recognisable by its turboprop nacelles replacing the DC-3's classic round radial engines, while the fuselage shape stays unmistakably DC-3.
