The much beloved DC-3s of Lake Central Airlines faithfully served the -burgs, -villes and -towns that dotted the airline's routes for nearly 18 years. The last DC-3 was retired in 1967, less than one year before merging with Allegheny in 1968.

Because of the airline's small route structure, it had the shortest average haul of the 13 local airlines. Of the 40 busiest routes served by the local carriers, Lake Central had none. Still, the airline and it's DC-3s led the industry with four minute turnarounds at their smaller stations.

Probably the best looking color scheme for a DC-3, this one is on my list.
