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.

Impact

Through dedicated efforts, Vintage Wings Inc. has successfully restored the C-53 to a condition that earned it a flight permit from the FAA. This achievement allows the aircraft to participate in airshows and educational displays, fostering community engagement and raising awareness about the importance of preserving aviation history.
