Sometimes called the “airliner that changed the world,” the iconic DC-3 was designed to compete with the Boeing 247. With its range and speed, the DC-3 revolutionized the transportation industry. All of the aircraft in our gallery are historically significant, but none more so than this aircraft. Our DC-3 is marked with Piedmont Airlines markings in honor of the strong connection that the DC-3 and Piedmont Airlines have to the Carolinas. This plane is breathtaking and is clearly one of the best-looking aircraft in the museum! Don’t miss it.
