Photo Comment

Built as C-47A c/n 12858 USAAF serial 42-108901. It became one of 21 C-47s remanufactured by Douglas in 1946 as DC-3Cs (with single passengers doors) and was used as a corporate transport. At some point the double cargo doors of a C-47 were refitted. Became part of the Confederate Air Force in 1970. Returned to commercial cargo operations in 1980. Last registered to Normair International Inc on 10 May 1984, but ultimate fate unknown.
