Geophysical survey aircraft with, obviously, a long history. Originally a 1944 C-47, she saw military and civil use, was converted to C-117 standard and even put on display in the 1970s, but brought back into air freight operations. Apart from the sensors at the nose, the 'Turbo Dak' was fitted here with a Magnetic Anomaly Detection boom at the tail.
