Is the C-46 Commando (civilian) approved for DVA flights, perhaps as a DC-3 clone?

It is not. We do not have it in our fleet although Delta did operate them for a time in the past. If there was significant interest, we could add it but as of now we have no plans.

I'll have to admit, just Flight makes their model look pretty good! https://youtu.be/TsLNsdaKIKY Might not be a bad holiday self-treat.
