I should hope not!  The man obviously looks after his machines.  In
the back blocks of PNG I have worried when travelling in an Islander
with part of a seat belt hanging out in the slipstream, flapping.  The
buckle had long since gone.

Great!  I love that sort of attitude to flying.  Are the passengers
individually weighed?  Who mans the fire extinguisher as the engines
are started?  The ticket lady?  In your climate the DC3 engines would
have to be well primed before starting, with lots of black smoke, and
a quite beautiful noise. (And the possibility of a carburettor fire.)
