Taxiing out for its display. A rich history for this bird, which started at the US Army Air Force around 1944 as 44-74494. To the RCAF in December 1950 as 9237. Became N6356T in December 1959. Exported to Europe in July 1964. Owned by 20th Century Fox as a movie asset. Exported to the USA by ship in January 1971 and participated in various air races during the 1970's and 1980's. Became N72FT somewhere between January 1981 and 1987. Exported to South Africa in May 2010 and the markings as visible in this photo were applied.

We arrived back at the aircraft well before our pre-agreed meeting time. It was cloudy during most of the airshow displays, but in the end of the afternoon, the sun finally showed its face. I think we walked around the aircraft freely for about 30-45 minutes, before we needed to get onboad for the flight back to O.R. Tambo.

About a week and a half before our departure to South Africa, we found out that Skyclass would operate their DC-4 from O.R. Tambo to the airshow Swartkop AFB. About 1,5h after finding out, our seats were booked and we ended up being able to reserve seats 1A and 2A, which was right where we hoped to be. As we approached the airfield, we made a low pass before circling to land. Outside you can see the flightline and a lot of early visitors. Photo taken from seat 2A.

On static display at the airshow. Luckily there weren't that many visitors in this part of the area in the morning , so I managed to take a clean shot of this very nice oldie.
