According to "The Last Time" Website: Twenty-six DC-3s taxied out for takeoff from Rock Falls. Of the 26: one returned to the ramp with a maintenance problem, another aborted his takeoff, and one made it in the air but had to return with an oil temperature problem. This left 23 airplanes flying to AirVenture.

On Monday, July 26, 23 aircraft made the journey to Oshkosh, lead by the Herpa Wings DC-3. The EAA reported 21 aircraft in the flight, but we counted 23 - as did the Last Time organizers.
