Assembled by Fokker, this DC-3 was delivered to Swissair in October 1938. Serving until 1955, the airliner went to Ozark Airlines registered N2817D. Registered N143D after 1957, the aircraft also added a cargo door and Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engines sometime after arriving in the USA. Traded to Fairchild when Ozark bought FH-227s, a few short term owners followed before Airline Aviation Academy (Academy Airlines) bought it in 1974. Sold to a private owner in 2003, it remains based at Griffin, GA. Seen here promoting the Gold Seal Ground School flight training school.
