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! The following day, it was off to AirVenture in Oshkosh! N1944H participated in the formation flight over the airport on opening day! Then, a DC-3 Party at Basler Turbo Conversions with all participating DC-3 Crews! Food, drinks and their impressive facilities were open for viewing. We all had a great time- Thank you for your hospitality Basler! On Thursday, our DC-3 was able to participate in the AirVenture Airshow! Photos by Darcy Kaapke, Mike Carlson and Jim Rezich.
Congrats to Aaron Taylor and his new North American AT-6D!
Help bring Embry Riddle to RFD!
The Rockford region has an excellent opportunity to land the world’s leading aerospace and aviation university. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is searching for the site of its third residential campus, and a prime spot at Chicago Rockford International Airport is the perfect place (Courtesy Aircraft Sales Home Airport). A campus would help our regional aerospace industry soar, bringing more jobs, money and people to this area. Sign the petition at http://www.rocktheair.com/

Family History Honored on Customer’s New Warbird
“If you noticed the names below the forward canopy widow, they are my Uncle, Al Kinder, my Dad’s younger Brother, who flew B-17’s during WWII over Europe after his pilot training was finished and my Dad who was an instructor during the war. My Dad, eventually went on to fly for Eastern Airlines during the war. Both lived into their 80’s. I felt an emotional obligation to put their names on my aircraft to honor them as aviators and to honor their lives. Both were strong influences on my and my brother’s lives and aviation careers.” Congratulations Lou! N3753G Looks Great!
