Open Cockpit: DC-6 Airliner Cockpit


  • Pacific Coast Air Museum One Air Museum Way Santa Rosa, CA, 95403 United States (map)

Look inside this vintage aircraft, and learn about its history from the crew who has lovingly restored it.

The DC-6 was a large and powerful piston-powered airliner. In its day, the DC-6 circled the globe delivering passengers to North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and all spots in between. When it was replaced by jetliners in the larger airlines, the DC-6 carried on with smaller and regional airlines. Many served as military transports, and later several were converted into aerial tankers for fighting fires.
