A new landmark landed on the Kansas City skyline last week. Producer Justin Bond shows you these images of a full-sized vintage DC-3 airplane now permanently mounted on top of the Roasterie Coffee Company just east of Southwest Boulevard on 27th Street. The plane, built in 1943, was used in the Berlin airlift and according to the company would still work today if you just put the engines back in. The DC-3 has been part of The Roasterie’s logo since the local company was founded in 1993.
