DC-3/C-47, The Airplane That Changed Aviation Since 1940

About this event


Join us and our Guest Speaker CAA President Steve Brenneke for a look at the legendary DC-3 and its military counterpart, the C-47, and how this aircraft reshaped aviation starting in 1940. We will cover what made it so capable, how it transformed airline travel and wartime logistics, and why its influence is still felt in aviation today.
