Photo Comment

Former USAAF 43-16008 C-47A became NC15836 and N15836 after being sold to the commercial market. It was acquired again by the USAF in 1949 and reserialled 49-2622. The Dak was transferred to Greece in October 1949 under MDAP through Van Nuys AMC (CA). The aircraft flew quite a long time as 92622 and later as 49622, but in 1993, after an overhaul it just carried 622. The Dakota belonged to 355/1 MTM at Sédes and is seen here resting at one of the platforms at Larissa after a logistic flight from Sedes.
