A global Odyssey

The Spirit of Douglas is flying again and taking on her greatest journey yet. This world tour is a daring mission to retrace the great air routes that once defined the golden age of aviation. From ocean crossings to desert skies, from bustling capitals to remote airstrips, she will chart a course that connects past, present and future.

The World Cruiser Tour

This Odyssey is part commemoration, part exploration, part reminder that aviation has always been about pioneers and adventurers who bring people closer together. Every mile flown is a salute to those who built, flew and loved the DC-3. It’s an invitation to a new generation to rediscover the wonder of flight and the visionaries who believed that aviation could shape the world.

You can view each leg of the World Cruiser Tour so you can follow the Spirit of Douglas across countries, continents and oceans.
