the foundation
dakota norway
Dakota Norway is a non-commercial foundation with one purpose: To keep the Dakota aircraft with Norwegian registration LN-WND in airworthy condition.
The aircraft is a military passenger aircraft version of the DC-3, an aircraft type that flew for the first time on December 17, 1935. LN-WND is a C-53D-DO, begun construction in 1942. It was taken over and accepted by the US Army Air Force on June 28, 1943. The aircraft was delivered to the US 8th Air Force in the UK on October 8, 1943, and the following year was part of the massive fleet of aircraft that was an essential part of the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
In the fall of 1944, the aircraft was used as a "private plane" for the Deputy Commander of the Allied Air Forces in Europe, Major General Ralph D. Royce, and was essentially flown by Captain Wendell Buckhiester of the US Air Force.
fly with the dakota
Dakota Norway has the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority's approval to operate LN-WND and allow the public to take part in adventure flights. The purpose of these is to allow anyone who wishes to experience the history of aviation by flying an old aircraft.

Here you can watch the movie presentation of LN-WND in its entirety.
