Douglas Aircraft, the DC-3 still fly's above Colombia rain forest

Douglas Aircraft, the DC-3 still fly's above Colombia rain forest:


Introduced in 1935 by the Douglas Aircraft Co., the DC-3 revolutionized air travel, offering 14-berth sleeper transports that allowed passengers to fly from New York to Los Angeles.

In World War II, they transported allied troops to Normandy and operated in the heat and sandstorms of North Africa and the frigid Arctic Circle. For the aircraft still in service, Sadelca airline venders in Colombia sell plane tickets and cargo space to customers in Villavicencio’s airport.
