These photos were sent from Jim, an early member of Cascade Flyers who is from Seattle,
" I spent May in Middle Tennessee. My friends live in a town with a very nice airport, and there were two DC-3's parked there, one of which is a complete, 100% accurate restoration of an old American Airlines plane that was one of the first DC3s to come off the line in Long Beach..."
"...The restoration even includes every stitch of fabric used in the interior. Seats, little window curtains, and so forth. Same for the cockpit. It cost a fortune, and is owned by the Detroit Foundation..."
"...The pilots fly down frequently to fly it around, and keep everything working fine. I'm including some pix. That plane was a magnet, and I think I have photographed it from every angle..."
"...One Saturday, at an EAA Pancake Breakfast, they sold tickets for $150.
each to go fly around. But, I missed it. Not enough tickets for all
the takers."
Thanks Jim for sending in the photos of these amazing DC-3's!
