Photo Comment

Delivered to the USAAF as C-47A 42-93706, this Dakota went to Canadair for conversion to DC-3A-456 in 1956-1946. It was delivered on 21 September 1946 as LN-IAH to Det Norske Luftfartselskap AS. DNL merged with SAS in August 1948, and the aircraft was registered LN-IKH with SAS in 1949, and SE-CFR in 1957. In 1960, it was sold to the Swedish Air Force as 79007. F13 used it for 22 years and on 19 December 1982 it was flown to the Flygvapenmuseum in Malmen, where it has been ever since.
