Hi Karl! Thanks for this–what memories she has given so many! I agree that her Eastern colors are fantastic. So iconic. No trips to Denver planned anytime soon, but one never knows. Alternatively, we always welcome visitors to our operation.

Read a story about this bird by a pilot who flew her. He was wondering what happen to her and post this info for him at: http://www.pprune.org/aviation-history-nostalgia/305987-pictures-my-old-dc-3-a-3.html#post8592160

Any news for 2015?

Ithink I accidently hit the wrong button, but hope that you got my comment, misspellings and all. I had not edited the comment.

If you did not, I was the chief pilot of the company that owned the Wrigley DC-3 from the late 70s to the early 80s.

Please feel free to contact me for photos of the original interior of the Wrigley DC-3, as it was when we owned it and/or for any other information. By the way, did you get the original log book? Quite a treasure just by itself due to the passenger lists of very famous people, a lot of movie starts during the time the Wrigleys owned it and old Chicago Cubs baseball players. If you did not, that is a sad loss.

Hello, I was the chief pilot of the the company that owned the Wrigley DC-3 from the late 70s to the early 80s, Galaxy Aviation. After we owned it the Hodges Truck Company had the aircraft. After that it was sold to an air adventure tyoe company in Switzerland to fly tourists around the Alps. It was not until around 2008-9 that I learned that this DC-3 was somwhere in Califorina, bascily rotting away. Broke my heart.

I was very pleased to hear that someone had purchased Wrigley DC-3 and that you were going to restore. To be honest I’m a little sad that it is obvious that the orginal interior had been replaced, if you would like some photos of the orginal Wrigley interior, please let me know and I will send them to you.

Guys… If you are ever planning a trip to the Denver area with NC18121 (or as I know her N136PB) PLEASE let me know. I love the DC-3 and N136PB in particular from my days at Naples Airlines (PBA) 1970-1975. I would love to fly with her again but just seeing her would be a thrill. BTW: She is gorgeous in her Eastern colors. Thanx, Karl A. Innes 720-363-5380
