Pictured basking in the late afternoon sunshine after taking part in the flying display for Flying Legends 2010. The small titles on the nose read 'DC-3 75 Years 1935-2010 we keep history alive'.

To USAAF as 42-68823 in June 1943. Transferred to Aero O/Y in 1948 as OH-LCG, then to the Finnish AF in 1969 as DO-9. It was sold to the USA and became N59NA on 30 May 1985. But that reg was soon cancelled and on 20 August 1985 N59NA was taken up by DC-3 c/n 9043, which still carries today. Meanwhile, this aircraft became LN-WND in July 1986, initially with Warbirds of Norway, which changed their name to Dakota Norway in 1989. It sometimes features in movies, for example painted as RAF KN452 in 1992 or as Egypt Air "EN-WND" in the 2008 movie "Olsenbanden Junior på rocker'n".

The magnificent Aviodrome museum has a replica of the 1928 Amsterdam Airport terminal building and here, with Dakota Norway's aircraft sitting in front, it looks totally appropriate
