The American Airlines DC-3 Flagship Detroit will be doing a flight out of JFK Wednesday 7/19 at 10 am.
It will be returning to JFK after that but I don't have an arrival time yet.
The plane actually arrived on Tuesday.

Damn! I sit in spitting distance all week long and the ONE day i CANT go there... The space shuttle, A380s, all good and well. But I'd sell my kid to see that DC3 in person.
Do you mean today the 18th?
No no, Thursday the 19th and it will arrive today :tongue: (please? lol)
Sorry! TODAY, 7/18.
So she is sitting at JFK somewhere right now?
She's somewhere near Hangar 10 (AA maintenance hangar) but not sure exactly where. Looks like departure will be after 10 now.
Damn, I am stuck
Unbelieveable ....... I couldn't escape from work either!!! Pray to the spotting gods that she stays there for a day or two.

Sorry, she left yesterday afternoon. :frown:Quote:

My first actual flight into JFK with me flying the plane was back in Sept. '94, in good old N514AC,a DC-3C freighter (former Navy R4D), we came in on the Canarsie approach to 13L, and departed on 22R ,and were vectored over a moonlit Manhattan with Dinah Washington singing to us through the ADF, I love the DC-3 !!!
