You can make a difference by donating today to Maine Center for Classic Aviation LLC as we attempt to keep the Glorious DC-3 on Floats in Maine.

HBF Inc is the current owner of the DC-3 on Floats and the Maine Center for Classic Aviation is fundraising to become a shareholder. Ownership of the airplane will ensure the aircraft remains in Maine, which is our primary goal. Plans beyond that include a a hangar in Lewiston for the winter, maintenance, restoration, new paint and then a triumphant return to the skies of Maine and on to the world stage at Oshkosh. We want to ensure the airplane will continue to remain a Maine resident and a lasting symbol of the perseverance and determination of Maine people.

The Maine Center for Classic Aviation first created a mobile tribute to the Glorious DC-3 on Floats: The Greenville, Maine DC-3. MCCA acquired the nose section of a 1943 US Army Air Force C-47A “Skytrain” with the plans of restoration. The aircraft exterior has already been painted into original Army colors and affixed to a trailer in order to serve as a mobile ambassador to the DC-3 on Floats. The Cockpit was on the shore of Moosehead Lake for the 2026 International Seaplane Fly In at Greenville, Maine.

Maine Center for Classic Aviation is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes. The primary purposes of MCCA is promoting aviation education, commemorating the history and heritage of human powered flight, preserving classic aircraft, and inspiring future aviators and aviation enthusiasts.
