Twelve 16-22 seat DC-5's were built in 1939/40 with KLM being the only civil operator. The U.S. Navy bought seven new examples of the R3D and the prototype was impressed by them. 1902 was delivered to NAS Anacostia in July 1940. It is seen visting the US West Coast wearing Anacostia titles. The U.S. national marking had no bars at this time and was not marked on the fuselage. Taken by F. Shertzer and image given to me by William T. Larkins 40 years ago for publication. No DC-5's survive..

Taxiing out for departure to Seoul. The 747-8i was a nice upgrade to Korean's daily SFO service, which had previously been operated by a 777.

AirCal was one of the smaller companies to be taken over by a major carrier during the mid 1980s, in this case by American Airlines. N4952W, photographed here in AirCal livery with American titles, was acquired in 1987 and was destined to become N662AA. But this re-registration did not materialize, and the aircraft was sold as C-GNWN only three months after this shot was made. It flew as such with NWT Air, then with First Air, and was finally withdrawn from use in 2006.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s United Airlines still had quite a few real oldies in their operational fleet. Their DC-8s were the prime examples, but these short B727's were even older! N7019U was delivered to them in June 1964, and continued to serve them until 1991. Having seen no other operator in its entire life, this aircraft was broken up during 1993.
