Douglas C-49J

The “Christmas Light Flight” Plane

Our Douglas C-49J is a piece of living history and a true WWII veteran aircraft. Our Mission is to preserve history, honor veterans, and to educate the next generations.

We pride ourselves on our ability to share warbird flight by welcoming passengers on board for a journey back in time. Look out for new events and calendar dates to fly with us.

Southern Cross participates in airshows, jump operations, local events, ride days, and more.
