Three former Israel Defence Force / Air Force C-47Bs, now stored with all markings painted out. All three were flown from Israel to Canada between Jul 2000 and Aug 2001 and ended up here, in storage. The one in the front is ex 007 / 4X-FNA, which was withdrawn from use in Mar 1995 and sold as N215CM in Aug 1999. In 2008 it was restored to flying condition and delivered to the USA, to become a warbird. The other two are N269LM (middle, ex 008 / 4X-FNI, dismantled here in 2008) and N47SJ (rear, ex 016 / 4X-FNN, sold as warbird in 2007).
