Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Douglas DC-3


Courtesy Aircraft had the opportunity to participate and several activities celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the DC-3. Our very own N1944H "Spirit of Alaska" flew to Whiteside Airport in Sterling, IL for the gathering of over 32 DC-3s and C-47s.  We couldn't ask for better weather or a greater turn out!

Below you will find photos taken on the way and at Whiteside Airport:
