Douglas DC-3 (turbine) (C-FBKB)

I believe the generally used term is a Basler BT-67

looks strange with the "little" engines

No. The generally used term is a "DC-3 with turbine engines."

@Robert,
Little but Powerful.

I like this picture and am intrigued by the kind of engines it has. However, it has become a victim of a mindset very often seen that says, 'crop as much space as possible.' This photo has the edges almost touching the front and rear of the aircraft. I learned in a photography class I took to learn to use black and white, after having been doing photography for several years, to leave space for the subject to 'breathe' and not crop too tight. I have been seeing very tight cropping for many years and have never said anything before but I really like the DC-3 and it pains me to see it cropped so tight. Cyycspotter, you are to be commended for a really good photograph and good panning so I don't mean to criticize your photography. I'm just voicing a concern that has been in the back of my mind for a very long time.

I've never said anything before because I'm sure this comment will receive negative votes, criticism and hateful responses, but I just had to finally speak up. If I offended anyone, well, darn. Other than the cropping, the image is a great one as many others posted. Keep up the good work, cyycspotter.

No, it is not simply "a DC-3 with turbine engines". It is indeed a Basler BT-67. These aircraft admittedly are based on a DC-3 airframe, but "the conversion includes fitting the airframe with new Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67R turboprop engines, lengthening the fuselage, strengthening the airframe, upgrading the avionics, and making modifications to the wing leading edges and wingtips." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basler_BT-67]. A lot more than simply bolting a couple of turbines on an existing DC-3.

Belongs to Kenn Boreck Air from Calgary. Quite popular in the Canadian northwest.

I looked up the ICAO type designation for BASLER BT-67 Turbo 67 and it is DC3T (which applies to all DC3 turbine conversions). There is no way for the contributor to specifically specify the Basler version.

Re cropping: I always heard that when taking photos of moving objects, be they airplanes, cars or boats you should leave the object more room in front than behind. But hey, it's basically a DC3 and you can't have too many pictures of DC3's.

@Colin Seftel, Kenn Borek Air refers to the plane as a Basler BT-67. Perhaps generally a DC3T, but specifically the conversion that came from Basler:

The Douglas DC-3 first flew on December 17, 1935, 90 years ago next month!

It truly is a testament to engineering vision and good design that this old airframe is worth investing the cash to upgrade the engines with every expectation of profitable operation in years to come.

How many other aircraft could claim something similar?

Congratulations Donald Douglas, wherever you are.

Nothing like a Douglas (Basler) Racer! Great shot!
