Our Story
Vintage Wings Inc. was established to preserve and restore the historic 1942 Douglas C-53-DO Skytrooper, affectionately known as 'Beach City Baby.' This aircraft played a vital role in World War II, serving in multiple theaters shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. By creating a flying memorial, Vintage Wings aims to educate visitors about the aircraft's significant contributions to aviation history and its journey from military service to civilian life.
