75th DC-3 Anniversary Tour – Day 1 from Hiller Aviation Museum The journey began early this morning at the Hayward Airport with an interview with NBC11 Bay Area news at 5AM. They came to see off 97H and the Hiller Aviation Museum crew as we embark across the country joining other DC-3/C-47’s as part of the 75th anniversary tour.

It was first designed as an all-metal passenger airliner, later evolving to a coast-to-coast luxury transport complete with sleeping berths. By the late 1930s, it was estimated that 90 percent of America’s airline passengers were flying in the DC-3. More than 14,000 of the type were built, with  ...

Amelia Earhart was born today!

Lindbergh from the Warbird's blog
My father sailed to America in May 1927, and for the rest of his life he told how the Spirit of St. Louis flew low over the steamship one day while the captain sounded the latitude and longitude on the ship's whistle.

Merely to have been on the North Atlantic that afternoon, sharing it with Charles Lindbergh, was an honor worth telling for half a century.
