Let's Celebrate!

This December 17, the DC-3 made its maiden flight in 1935, 90 years ago. Today, nearly 200 DC-3 variants are treasured aircraft still flying today. They are incorporated into Part 91 flight departments, used for cargo and freight, missionary flights, emergency response operations, flying museums, airshows and more!

​

The Grand Dame, the legendary DC-3s, is famed all over the world. An aircraft so accomplished in war and in peace, a DC-3 Society was formed in her honor. This society is a prized space for DC-3 owners, operators, pilots and maintainers, enthusiasts and historians, our youth and even professional media to thrive, share and seek resources and benefit from membership in various ways. It's a community focused on celebrating the aircraft that changed air travel to what it is today. Check our out new DC-3 Society member levels and benefits here: https://www.dc3society.org/join
