Basler has no plans to build new DC-3s/BT-67s from scratch. It has 15 airframes on its ramp awaiting rebirth as BT-67s, and it adds to them every time the right aiframe becomes available. Being the design's "adoptive" parent, those who operate the piston legend, and knows what Basler is looking for, call when they are ready to sell. Scott Thanks for the kind words.

I'm one of those "1 week out the year" folks. It's always nice to hear more information about a place you visit every year. Great blog article Scott! I’m one of those “1 week out the year” folks.

Yes, there are good things happening here at Wittman Airport, besides EAA and AirVenture. As Rob and I related in our recent "Airport 101" classes, Wittman has a positive impact on the community (as do many other airports); unfortunately, most people only see the airport for 1 week out of the year. It is a good week for sure, but there are many other things happening here the other 51 weeks. Bravo, Scott! Yes, there are good things happening here at Wittman Airport, besides EAA and AirVenture.

Does Basler have any plans to build an entire airplane from scratch? Even with it's long production run, we must be nearing the end of a finite number of DC-3/C-47 airframes. Scott,
