The Douglas DC-3 Monument at the Museum of Flying is getting some much-needed TLC
The Museum of Flying commemorates the Douglas DC-3’s first flight from the Santa Monica Airport and rededicates its refurbished monument to the legendary aircraft with a special DC-3 flyover at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 17.
As part of the celebration, the museum is waving its admission fee throughout the day.
Originally completed and dedicated in early 2009, the Douglas DC-3 Monument was refurbished with a grand from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing California to cover the cost of the work.
