Survivors
Four complete aircraft survive:
- In February 2004, a Do.24 was restored, fitted with retractable landing gear for amphibious use and re-engined with turboprop engines to become the Do.24 ATT, which began flying around the world on a UNICEF mission to assist children in the Philippines. The Do.24 ATT is piloted by Iren Dornier, the grandson of Dornier founder Claudius Dornier. Upon completion of the work with UNICEF, it will be run as a special charter airliner by South East Asian Airlines. HOME | Do.24ATT - An Iren Dornier Projekt

- A Do.24T-3 is on display at the Museo del Aire (Spain), Cuatro Vientos, Madrid, Spain.

Famous quotes containing the word survivors:
“I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it. That is why the children of survivors are so tragic. I see them in school. They don’t know how to handle their parents. They see that their parents are traumatized: they scream and don’t react normally.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
“I want to celebrate these elms which have been spared by the plague, these survivors of a once flourishing tribe commemorated by all the Elm Streets in America. But to celebrate them is to be silent about the people who sit and sleep underneath them, the homeless poor who are hauled away by the city like trash, except it has no place to dump them. To speak of one thing is to suppress another.”
—Lisel Mueller (b. 1924)
