As well as plenty of derelict DC-3s at San Juan, there were several in good condition earning their keep, including this immaculate looking example (see also sister-ship N79B in a turquoise version of this eye-catching scheme). First served the RAF from 1944 as Dakota III FZ693, to BEA as G-AKII (then Cyprus Airways and Skyways), Bahamas A/w in 2.60 as VP-BBR, Saeta in 1971 as HC-AVQ and Air Sunshine in 1.77 as N77KW. After Carriba, to N101AP, stored at St Thomas 4.89 and possibly destroyed by hurricane This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
