DC-3 (C-47A) N4991E photographed on 7th June 1986 at the Expo 86 DC-3 "Airmada" held at Abbottsford, BC., to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first DC-3 delivery flight. Note that the titles of its former operator, Trans-Canada Airlines, can just be discerned on the fuselage top. For many years this aircraft hauled parachutists out of Lodi, CA., but then was withdrawn from use and acted as a billboard for the airport café there. However in October 2020 the aircraft was acquired by Preferred Airparts LLC and trucked back to their Kidron, OH., base.
