Douglas Aircraft at Oklahoma City built the majority of the C-47s and the plant is still in USAF use at Tinker AFB. This Oklahoma City Dakota served with the RAF in WWII before transferring to the RCAF in 1946, keeping the RAF serial KG623. In 1970, the RCAF's serial system was re-organized and it was assigned 12933. Pictured running up on the Air Force side of the airport, it's was colder than it looks. The aircraft is current with Kenn Borek Air as Basler BT-67 Turbo-67 C-GJKB at the time of uploading.

Built as 42-93468 this World War II Dakota went to the Royal Air Force as KG523. The transport was transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1946 with the same serial until it changed in 1970 to 12933. It was sold to Basler Flight Service as N103BF in 1992 and converted to a Basler BT-67. First operated by the Armée de l'air du Mali as TZ-391, the aircraft was returned to Basler in 2007 registered N167BT . Kenn Borek bought it in 2008 and the aircraft is current at the time of uploading.
