The Douglas Aircraft Company rolled out,
and flew the Legendary DC-3!
The DC-3 in this single event, has rippled through the Aviation World for over 60 years.
Competing designers have proclaimed the demise of this valiant workhorse,
with each new aluminum show plane, but to no avail.
The DC-3/C-47/R4D/Dakota and its many other variants, has touched the lives of people
from every country in the World, and from Pole to Pole. The DC-3 was designed to
do the work of the world then -- and the DC-3 is still at it!
A new group of DC-3 fans are now retracing the path of history, and the
DC-3/C-47/R4D/Dakota is there to greet them, and share a "Spirit of Aviation"
that has crossed both generational and financial barriers to capture the heart of
those that love aviation as a way of life, and not simply a occupation!
