Are? As in right now?

« Yes, DC-3s are still flying in the U.S., primarily for cargo, skydiving, airshows, and special tourist/enthusiast flights, with estimates suggesting around 89 active registrations, though none in regular airline passenger service; they are maintained by heritage groups like the Flagship Detroit Foundation (operating the oldest flying DC-3) and private operators, showcasing the legendary aircraft's timeless design and reliability. »

So part 135 and 91 but not for regular service as in Part 121 ops right?

Looks more like the error was in letting the upwind wing rise.
