[Matt Molnar]

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.

So she is sitting at JFK somewhere right now?

[Matt Molnar]

She's somewhere near Hangar 10 (AA maintenance hangar) but not sure exactly where. Looks like departure will be after 10 now.

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 !!!
