Check out www.courtesyaircraft.com , there are a couple DC-3's for sale at $200,000 and $425,000 respectively. I'm sure there are cheaper airframes. This was just a cursory search of the internet. Looks to be about $850 per hour, it burns 100 gallons of fuel an hour...give or take. I don't think these figures include annuals or regular maintenance.
