The Museum’s grand old Douglas DC-3 is glittering in the spring sky. Refurbishment work over the winter includes recovering the flight controls with new fabric. Typical of aircraft of this era, the all-metal DC-3 has fabric covered ailerons, elevators and rudder. The elements are hard on these surfaces and a time-consuming project is under way to keep the old flyer in top condition.
