Fly a legendary airliner. The Douglas DC-3 (also known as the C-47 Skytrain) is the plane that made air travel popular. For pilots, this isn't just a ride. It's a chance for you to take off, fly and land a piece of aviation history. You'll be the one in the pilot's seat. For non-pilots, it's an incredible opportunity to experience history in the air.

Each introductory flight experience begins with a short briefing. Your flight instructor will cover starting, taxi, takeoffs, landings, checklists, and emergency procedures. Before you know it, you'll be ready to taxi an incredibly large multi-engine tailwheel airplane.

How large is large? The DC-3's wingspan is almost 100 ft. The plane can carry over 820 gallons of fuel and each engine oil tank holds almost 30 gallons of oil. On takeoff, she can produce over 2400 Horsepower. The big girl is capable of carrying almost 5000 pounds of anything that will fit through the door and yet she needs just 3000 feet of runway. We should warn you. Taking off is not as easy as it looks. (Don't worry. An FAA-certified instructor will be sitting in the co-pilot seat to talk you through it.) Once airborne, where you go and what you do is pretty much up to you. Practice approaches, take-offs or landings or simply enjoy the view from a DC-3.
