History of 'Rose' In April 1943 Rose was delivered from the Douglas Aircraft factory, Santa Monica, CA directly to the U.S. Army Air Corps. She served with the 8th Air Force in Europe thru August, 1945. During which she flew approx. 1,700 hours as a C-53 (Military designation of a DC-3 as opposed to a cargo version C-47). 1945 'Rose' was sold thru the Reconstruction Refinance Agency to Pan American Airways. Flew with Pan Am thru 1956 primarily with their PanAgra fleet in Central and South America. 1956 'Rose' was converted by Remert-Werner in St. Louis, MO to a DC-3C (executive interior with AC/DC electrical and many other mods). 'Rose' then flew with at least two corporations thru the late '60's / early '70's. She then flew for a company called Hawkeye Airlines in the Ohio / mid-west areas for a few years and the she was in Las Vegas for awhile as a executive airplane. Rose was then sold to a parachute jump group in Lodi, CA and S. Oregon. In approx. 1995 she was sold again to a corporation in McMinnville, OR. We purchase 'Rose' from that corp in 1997. DreamFlight has owned / operated 'Rose' since 1997 . A piece of History, Excellente maintained
