Notes:

Rare. This is ship 41. One of the original five DC-3s that flew for Delta Air Lines. This is the airframe that was discovered and brought back to America and now sits in Delta's Museum of Flight, Atlanta, under the registration NC28341. Ship 41 joined DAL as N28341 in January 1941. She also flew for another airline in Delta’s family tree—North Central. Ship 41 retired from Delta service in April 1958, and was purchased by North Central Airlines, later part of Northwest Airlines. After leaving North Central, she then went on to many other operators, including Air Puerto Rico. It was in 1990 that she was found by retired employees aiming to bring an original DC-3 back to Delta. They acquired the plane in June 1993, and flew it back to company headquarters in Atlanta for restoration by volunteers and Delta employees.
