I am from Uruguay, 85. I flew twice on a Pluna Airlines DC-3 in 1965, just a short hop MVD/ PDP. Quite an experience. Tks for the excellent video

You are more than welcome. I am really glad you enjoyed the video if you look at the other video it tells you about the history of the 4 DC3 aircraft. Thank you for you’re kind comments 😀👍
