Douglas DC-3, (Kit #309) the most famous plane in the history of air passenger transportation, produced in 1935 to replace the outdated DC-2. Its initial purpose was to offer comfortable air flight across America with a sleeper layout, however later the plane was equipped with normal passenger seats. Thanks to its reliability and its safety record the plane became popular among leading air carriers of the time, and its extensive exploitation lasted until the appearance of larger four-engine machines. In the USA alone more than 10,000 machines of this type were constructed. Some of them continue to be operated even today in some countries of Africa and Asia as transports, having broken all possible aviation records for long service.

Boeing 720 'Caesar's Chariot' (Kit #317) plane converted from the standard passenger layout to a 45-seater luxury version, ordered by the famous Caesar's Palace hotel and casino in Las Vegas. In 1977 it was hired by the well-known rock group Led Zeppelin for their tour to the USA, because their previous plane 'The Starship' had engine problems and couldn't fly.

During the tour the Led Zeppelin logo and the logo of their Swan Song record label was placed on the fuselage. After the end of the tour the plane was returned to its owners, and in 1986 it was acquired by the US government for spare part support for the KC-135 tankers, and gradually taken apart.
