After the C-47's were retired and replaced, Pan Am bought it and converted it to a standard configuration. After its life with Pan Am, it was bought privately and chartered out, making trips from America to Asia and so on. Since then it has obviously been restored to its Pan Am paint scheme, but not configuration. It still has an all first class style cabin from its charter life which is pretty awesome, outfitted with telephones and six large first class recliner style seats, even places to sleep #Douglas #DC3 #PanAm #HHF #KPAE #PaineField #avgeek #Aviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight #flying #travel #Seattle #airplane #airplanes1001 #instagramaviation
