Douglas DC3 Dakota - C41A (N341A) takeoff and lowpass | DC3 flyby

N341A is the one and only Douglas DC-3 variant designated as a C-41A and was ordered by the U.S. Army Air Command in 1938 and delivered in September 1939 at a cost of $105,611.29.

This was one of two aircraft requisitioned by Major General Henry ‘Hap’ Arnold along with a sister ship (designated as a C-41, and also still flying today as N41HQ) as VIP transports for himself and military command staff , as well as other high ranking officials including the Secretary of War.

These aircraft were based at Bolling Army Airfield, Washington D.C. as a part of the 1st Staff Squadron. The aircraft was well appointed and the main cabin was equipped with swivel seating to allow for inflight meetings. The forward cabin was originally configured with four sleeping berths and upper skylights, similar to those found on the original DST (Douglas Sleeper Transport).

N341A today retains its original distinctive tail insignia and bare metal finish, albeit now highly polished and with the addition of dark blue highlighting along the fuselage window line. It is fully IMC (instrument meteorological conditions) flight capable with the installation of twin Garmin GTN750 GPS/Nav/Comm touch screen multifunctional display systems giving the flight crew live weather, traffic and terrain information and is fully ADS=B compliant.

In addition there are freshly rebuilt P&W 1830-94 engines and the aircraft is equipped with wing and propeller de-ice boots and a low pressure auxiliary oxygen system.
