Experience the legendary Douglas DC-3 from the pilot's seat as we take this aviation icon on a spectacular cockpit journey across California.
This vertical cockpit stream puts you directly behind the controls, following every stage of the flight from startup to shutdown. We'll depart Mammoth Yosemite Airport before heading south through the stunning Sierra Nevada, stopping first at Lone Pine beneath the towering peaks of Mount Whitney and overlooking the beautiful Owens Valley.
From there we'll continue to Palmdale before crossing the Pacific Ocean to one of America's most famous aviation destinations—Catalina Island's Airport in the Sky.
Perched more than 1,600 feet above the ocean, Catalina's sloping runway and exposed location make every arrival unique. Weather and winds can quickly change the challenge, demanding careful planning, precise aircraft control, and classic stick-and-rudder flying aboard the Douglas DC-3.
Whether you're here to enjoy vintage aviation, experience cockpit-only flying, or simply relax with one of the greatest aircraft ever built, this promises to be a memorable journey.
