The Douglas C-47 Skytrain was a military transport developed from the Douglas DC-3 airliner. C-47s had many roles, from transporting troops in the jungles of New Guinea and Burma to airlifting supplies to the embattled American forces during the Battle of Bastogne. Their most influential role in military aviation may have been flying The Hump from India into China and later in the Berlin Airlift. Flights on our award winning Skytrain are available to members on excursion flights to destinations of interest throughout the flying season.
