Summary
| Description |
English: Douglas DC-3 in The Henry Ford museum. Although it is now painted in the colors that Northwest Airlines used for its own DC-3s, this particular DC-3 never flew for Northwest. It was originally bought by Eastern Air Lines in 1939. After a 13-year career with Eastern, it was sold to North Central Airlines in 1952, who used it first as an airliner and later as an executive transport. It then passed to North Central's successor Republic Airlines, which eventually was merged into Northwest. After the museum acquired the aircraft, Northwest paid for its restoration, so it was repainted in the colors used by Northwest DC-3s. At one time "728" (so dubbed for its U.S. registration NC21728) was the highest-flight-time DC-3 in the world. |
