Thank you very much to Crispy136, VonBarb and drunkpupper25 for the help in the conversion of liveries from MSFS2020!

The SN 1920 / NC17334 was ordered in 1937 and is a "pure DC3" survivor since it was on civil service throughout WW2.

It was in service with American Airlines until 1947, distictively being a plane that Eleanor Roosevelt flew in many occasions (she would pick the seat in front of the door, to be the last to board and the first to leave). It also depicted many pictures and artwork of the time since its relatives were serving in the war.

In 2004 it was located in Virginia serving as a spray plane. The work to bring her to the original glory took 18 months, and now she is the oldest original DC3 still flying, and is kept in mint condition by the Flagship Detroit Foundation.
