DC-3 "Rose" in Iowa City
In late August, 2006, "Rose" -- a gorgeous 1943 Douglas DC-3 airliner -- graced our tarmac in Iowa City. This type of airliner served Iowa City for many years, under both the United and Ozark Air Lines marquis, so many local residents appreciated the significance of the visit.
Owner John Pappas and his wife, along with pilot Dave Costa were guests of ours at the Inn, and in return we received a pair of wonderful rides aboard this classic old airliner.
All of the videos were taken from inside the aircraft.
