First flown in 1935, the Douglas DC-3 became the most successful airliner in the formative years of air transportation, and was the first to fly profitably without government subsidy. More than 13,000 DC-3s, both civil and military versions, U.S. and foreign built, were produced. Many are still flying.
An enlarged variant of the popular 14-seat DC-2, the 21-seat DC-3 was comfortable by the standards of its time and very safe, because of its strong, multiple-spar wing and all-metal construction. The airlines liked it because it was reliable, inexpensive to operate, and therefore profitable. Pilots liked its stability, ease of handling, and excellent single-engine performance.
The airplane on display above flew more than 56,700 hours with Eastern Air Lines. Its last commercial flight was on October 12, 1952, when it flew from San Salvador to Miami. It was subsequently presented to the Museum by Eastern’s president, Edward V. Rickenbacker.
Another look at the DC-3. I am still hoping I will live to see this beauty in the air. If you find yourself in Kansas City, The Airline History Museum is worth a look.

On Tuesday, November 25, DC-based, world class boxing duo Lamont and Anthony Peterson, along with their coach, Barry Hunter, are generously donating thousands of dollars’ worth of food to local homeless shelter, So Others Might Eat (SOME), as a tribute of their commitment to helping D.C.’s homeless community. The brothers and coach will also be serving food to the homeless shelter following the food donation.
The Peterson brothers were homeless in D.C. throughout their childhood until Coach Barry recognized their potential and vowed to train their natural ability, eventually turning the two into professional boxers. Today, the Peterson’s hard work has paid off, allowing them to contribute to the fight against homelessness.

Journeying through Washington DC looking for abandoned places to photograph. This was the former East Portico of the U.S. Capitol that was redone in 1958. These giant pieces of stone were brought to Rock Creek Park and where they lave laid to rest for over 50 years. According to one piece "Carved from Virginia sandstone in 1828 and built to stand the test of time, this neo-classical façade is the lofty democratic ideal of a young nation made manifest."
