Tour ride on DC 3

[Annie]

Does anyone know who I might contact about riding in a DC 3? My husband does not fly (yet). But, he loves the beauty of this plane. I would love to find a way for him to get a ride in one. We live in the Northwest, but it is so important to him that any suggestions you have will be welcome.

Thank you,

Check with some of the Drop Zones in your area.

Era in Anchorage used to have flights but they've sold the DC3s. The only one I found with a quickie search on google is:

TransNorthern Aviation in Anchorage has Super-3 they haul passengers with. It's mostly used for charters, no scheduled service.

Hampton airfield in Hampton NH 603-964-6749. About two years ago they were doing type ratings in a DC-3. Something like $900 an hour iirc. Don't know if they still have it.

There is one in Fargo ND, at the Fargo Air Museum. Very nice airplane and very nice people. Let me know if you want more info.
