I think UA needs it more than anyone.

Otherwise, I'll gladly accept a nice, vintage DC-3.</font>

Hey, its got no in-flight phones and will never have an internet connection, why not put it on the new LAX-SFO Sh*ttle by United??

BTW, was it an actual U.S. built DC-3 or could it have been a Soviet-built-under-license Lisunov Li-2?
