Photo Comment

Ex USAAF 44-77889 and JASDF 51-1122. Sold to Cliff Everts in 1978 and stored at Fairbanks for nearly twenty years before being restored to fly again in 1998. Aptly named 'Maid in Japan' the aircraft was badly damaged in an accident in 2002 but was repaired and is still flying in for Everts Air Cargo in February 2022.
