Southern DC3:
ZK-AMY is the only DC3 still flying in the South Island and one of only two left flying in New Zealand. The public of NZ are enjoying ZK-AMY as an icon of living history. Fly in her and relive for yourself the glory of travel in the golden age of flight. As one of the four pilots on the Trust Board, Dave Horsburgh says, “The Old Girl is not ready to retire - we’ll make her earn her keep for a long time yet”.
The DC3 is a legend around the world and nowhere more than in NZ. Since its first flight in 1935 the DC3 has continuously impressed with its reliability, safety and style, along with the ability to earn its way in a world of rapidly advancing technology.
ZK-AMY began life flying for the US Air Force in 1944, she flew Australia from top to bottom between 1947–1994 and most recently flew with Pionair and Vincent Aviation.
Yet, with just 18,000 hours logged against her airframe, she is literally the youngest airworthy DC3 in the Southern Hemisphere. Find out more about her history.
