A very special airplane made its first flight since undergoing a complete restoration at Paine Field in Everett, Washington. The Historic Flight Foundation’s DC-3 took to the skies over the weekend in its distinctive Pam Am paint scheme.
The history of the foundation’s DC-3 began in 1944 as a C-47 in Asia, flying for the China National Aviation Corporation in the China-Burma-India Theater of WWII, where it flew critical supplies and personnel across the Himalayas, a route commonly referred to as the “Hump.”
