Experience the Magic of Riverside’s Holiday Lights!

Celebrate the holidays with a one-of-a-kind flight in the legendary D-Day Doll, our beautifully restored WWII-era Douglas DC-3. Step aboard and relive the golden age of aviation as we take to the skies over Riverside for a 40-minute flight experience filled with history, nostalgia, and breathtaking holiday views.

From your window seat, you’ll enjoy a spectacular aerial perspective of the Mission Inn Festival of Lights and the city’s sparkling neighborhoods below, a sight you’ll never forget.

Before takeoff, relax in the festive airport terminal with complimentary hot chocolate, coffee, and cookies as you mingle with our crew and learn about the incredible service history of this iconic aircraft that flew in the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

Perfect for families, friends, and couples alike, this flight blends the wonder of the holiday season with the thrill of flying in living history. Proceeds support the Inland Empire Wing of the Commemorative Air Force and help us keep the D-Day Doll flying for future generations.
