Photo Comment

This was a rebuild of C-47A c/n 9959 into one of the few real DC-3Cs, hence the high number, delivered to Sabena as OO-AUV in 1.47. Sold by Delta Air Transport in the US 11.72. A few days before this shot on 30 May 1986 while operating for Atorie Air, the aircraft ground looped at McCarran Field and although w/o, was once again repaired. Exported as YV-98C with AVENSA in Jan 1989, becoming YV-609C with Servivensa Carga. Dumped and derelict in an overall rust-red finish at Canaima
