Change of Plans for Mass DC-3 flight

The Last Time organization will not arrive at EAA AirVenture this year as a mass formation of Douglas DC-3 aircraft,
EAA officials have indicated. Instead, an EAA-organized mass formation called Max Effort will take place July 27.
(AirVenture runs from July 26 to Aug. 1.)

The Last Time celebration will continue and will include a mass formation at Whiteside County Airport in Rock Falls, Ill.
After the celebration is complete, it is hoped many of the participating aircraft will individually fly to Oshkosh.
An EAA official said they have confirmations from many DC-3 operators, including those not attending the Rock Falls celebration, who will attend AirVenture this year.

It is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the DC-3.
