75th Anniversary of the DC-3, Airventure 2010

A terrific site, Anthony - thanks for sharing. Loved the pictures (and the story of the collision...!) of the 50th anniversary fly-past - 27 Daks!

"It is believed that this was the largest formation of Dakota DC-3 / C-47 aircraft to have flown since the Second World War and that this record still stands."

Hmm ... I wonder if something could be done about that this summer ...?!?!

Thanks Hal for the feedback. I would love that record of 27 Daks to be broken in 2010, if it's going to happen anywhere, the best location has got to be Airventure. I recall there are 25 confirmed Daks for Airventure, maybe the powers that be can get a few more planes to participate and break the record. I hope Basler will be participating. Thanks, Anthony.

Rumor has it that there really is like 35 or more planning on attending...... we will see.

Andy, that's good news, the more DC-3's that make it to Airventure, the more impressive the celebration becomes.

Hey,

I'm a commercial aviation student in Calgary Alberta dn I'm actually doing a project on the DC-3. Has anyone here ever flown one and would you be willing to share some stories? Thanks!

Dakota

And yeah, Dakota is actually my name
