Artist's Description
It's the oldest DC-3 in the world still taking to the skies. The 21st of her kind to roll off the assembly line in 1937, it was delivered as new to American Airlines where she flew for a decade. After a fifty-seven year hiatus, the located aircraft was brought back to that airline where she was restored to her original glory under that company's colors. NC17334 has since continued to fly the skies as a flying tribute to American Airlines, past, present, and future.
When "Flagship Detroit" visited my airport, I had to grab an image of her, and this one was the best of the lot. The angle captures her essential and undeniable DC-3 characteristics while the soft black & white effect gives it an unmistakable vintage appeal.
About Alex Esguerra
Aviation is a passion of mine... always has been. And photography is a means of sharing that passion with others. If I'm not flying a plane or sitting in one, then I'm likely training a lens towards it. While I've flown planes for only a fraction of my life, I've always considered myself a pilot. And pilots love sharing their experiences with others.

One of the real workhorses of aviation and presented very nicely here in your portrait. I am digging all those rivets and beautiful aluminum artistry. I saw this DC-3 fly over Washington, D.C. (get it? DC + D.C.) soon after her restoration. She's serial number 1920 and was delivered to American Airlines on March 2, 1937, as one of American's 84 DC-3s in service into 1947. You can see videos of this airplane by searching "Flagship Detroit Foundation".
