If the aircraft is not kept up mechanically then it's performance is compromised and the safety of the fliers is in doubt. The occasional buzz job/low flying would be fun though.

Who said he didn't have a license? He may not have a medical, I don't know. And the plane was in annual a little over a year ago, it needs a new one and I'm sure a few things here and there.
But it is suppost to be the oldest flying C-47 out there.
And Dan flew DC-3's for Ozark for years, I'm sure he has over 10,000 hours in them. He has some good stories to tell.
