Ozark Airlines, DC-3 Flight CC

NOTE!! Click on CC for informative captions about this flight. This is video of the Prairie Aviation Museum's (PAM) former operational "Ozark Air Lines" Douglas DC-3, N763A, showing the aircraft firing up its two P&W engines, taxing, taking off, cruise flight and landing. The aircraft began as a Douglas C-53 (military equivalent of a DC-3A) being built at Douglas Santa Monica on March 11, 1942. It was built using two Pratt & Whitney R-1830, radial piston engines. A week later it was transferred from the USAAF to the Navy as an R4D-3 with squadron VR-1. Later during World War II, it was operated by American Airlines on behalf of the Navy. After the war, Continental Air Lines purchased this DC-3 government surplus in March 1947 and registered it as NC73726. Southern Airways then bought the airliner on August 31, 1949, with the registration now N73726 (later re-numbered as N70SA in 1954) and used it until 1966. The DC-3 went through a number of owners from 1967 and saw little activity until it was bought by the Prairie Aviation Museum in 1984 (by this time registered to as N763A) and restored to flying status. The video you're watching was recorded on October 20, 1996. That day the Prairie Aviation Museum was providing flights aboard its' DC-3 not only to museum members, but to the public as well. You got an approximately 30-minute, low altitude trip out of the Bloomington-Normal, IL airport flying up north 20 miles over "beautiful downtown El Paso" (Illinois) and then return (note the views of Illinois State University upon the return flight over Normal, IL) to the airport. I seem to recall the cost for an adult ticket being around $85.00. Not too bad a price for a flight aboard a then 54-year-old vintage airliner even back in 1996. The PAM crew for this flight was pilot, Clyde Zellers, co-pilot, Norm Wingler and "stewardess," Mary Lou Hedstrom. And yes, that indeed was a "nice landing." Clyde really "greased 'er in!" . .
