We are a non-profit organization, that with your
help and others alike, intends on accomplishing the following:
-
Educate the young by offering field trip tours of the Ozark DC-3
to school children, so they will have a better understanding of early air travel before the era of jet aircraft.
- Travel the country as a living museum of aviation history.
- Give a greater understanding of the major "workhorse" airplane not only of the Army Air Corps, but to commercial aviation.
This aircraft took a big part in our winning of World War II.
- Entice aviation enthusiasts to come view a piece of history
in St. Louis.
