Photo Comment

The penultimate DC-6 was delivered to JAT as YU-AFA, then the Yugoslav Air Force as Marshall Tito's personal plane. It was gifted to Zambia as GBM-110 in 1975. The Zambia Air Force retired their DC-6s in 1992 and sold the pair to NCA in 1994. NCA operated tourist charters in Southern Africa as Classic Air Travel. In April 2001, she joined Red Bull initially as N996DM and from July 2013 OE-LDM. Current as of 2025.
