DC-3 RV
The donor plane for the project was a Douglas R4D, a modified DC-3 designed for Navy service. The plane was built in 1943 before entering service in 1944, spending much of its service life in South America during World War II as an executive transport. It later went on to work for the Federal Aviation Administration flying test routes for navigational purposes. Its last flight was in the 1980s, upon which it was laid up before later being damaged beyond repair by a tornado and parts scavengers in intervening years.
