Sad end for World War II veteran built as 43-17188 and transferred to the US Navy on delivery as bu 90389. Ending up with Biegert Aviation and used for aerial spraying, the company's DC-4 fleet remained stored at Chandler Memorial airport when the business closed down. Acquired by Brooks Fuel Inc of Alaska in 2001, it remained in place as a source of parts. After commercial operators were evicted from the airport in 2007, at airport was abandoned and the aircraft deteriorated and .became graffiti billboards.
