Retired by Everts Air Cargo in 2016, this aircraft made its final flight from Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs Airport on October 2, 2016. Three large steel pylons were erected during the summer of 2018 and the aircraft was hoisted in place atop them. I asked some folks working at the resort what the plans were for the aircraft and was told that it might be used for a zip line or outfitted as a cocktail lounge. Also of note, this aircraft was the last Northern Air Cargo DC-6 type aircraft to be retired in September 2008. This photo is copyright © Ralph M.
