One of two remaining DC-6s in Ecuador. This beautiful 1956 airframe is preserved inside of La Carolina Park in the north of Quito. This DC-6 was first operated by Western Airlines and Braniff International as N91311, then it was registered as CC-CCG with LAN Chile before belonging to the Ecuadorian Air Force as FAE-45063 / HC-AVI. It was withdrawn from use in 1978. This plane has been painted with approximately 3 schemes during the years, that were made by street artists.
