The final arrival at Sola for the Musum. 01-06-2020 N151 took off from Faribanks, and after ca 30 minutes had to return and go back due to a problem with engine no 3. After approx two hours it took off again and flew to Yellowknife in Canada, which was the final stop before an alomst 15 hours flight across the Atlantic and after a lowpass at Bergen, it came for a lowpass along rwy 18 at Sola, before tunring and arriving rwy 36, shown by these photos. The "QRILL PET ARCTIC WORLD SERIES" is an important sign of how this ferry flight was made possible.

N151 seen at the lowpass it made along rwy 18 before its final lading at rwy 36.. To me personally, it was a tremendous joy to be there and watch it come and arrive after its final flight, led by Robert Everts, the chief of Everts Air Cargo who said "I could gladly have flown this aircaft to Las Palmas" after he had arrived with this beautufil DC-6B repanited as it was when it left BU in 1971 as LN-SUB. Now it has been beautiful restored even inside and will soon be under roof at Sola Air Museum, led by real Aviation enthusiasts. In the pandemic: "The Old one flies, while new ones are grounded

This aircraft had been operated in Canada as C-FFZM but was officially US-registered as N61DM from October 2022; it wore no marks when I took this photo. It has since been repainted into a green-and-white livery and put back into landplane configuration.

Built as a US Army L-20 (later U-6A), serial 54-1720 and delivered February 1956. In 1976 the aircraft was registered as N31068, initially for the US Navy Test Pilots' School and later the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. In 1999 it was re-registered as N314HA and has had a number of Alaskan owners since then.
