FAA C-3, that is: http://www.avweb.com...um221452-1.html (http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/FAA-Sends-Its-Last-DC-3-To-Museum221452-1.html)
As soon as we got that brilliant VC for Manfred Jahns C-47, I'll have to do a memorial flight myself...

Correct me if i´m wrong, but Buffalo Airways operates in Canada? As OP said the last in US not Canada.

I actually qualified the posting to refer just to FAA-operated DC-3s, read the first three words... :)
So Buffalo is probably Canada afaik, and there are other non-FAA DC-3s still flying, luckily.

Who cares about the FAA, lol. There are two private owned regularly flying DC-3s two blocks from my house, and almost 10 C-47s within an hours drive of me. I've never once seen an FAA DC-3 outside of pictures. No difference to me. :p
