This is the oldest surviving DC-3 type aircraft. She was the sixth DC-3 off the line and was delivered to American Airlines on July 12, 1936 as a Douglas Sleeper Transport (DST). Academy Airlines bought her in 1970 and used her as a freighter for a number of years. Made airworthy by Frank and Glen Moss and flown to Shell Creek Airport in Punta Gorda, FL where it is currently (January 2018) being restored to its original DST configuration.
