ALCI Aviation Limited of Oshawa, Ontario (aka Enterprise Air Inc.) began flying this Basler BT-67 on contract with the White Desert travel company in Antarctic during the 2019-2020 tourist season. White Desert guests fly from Cape Town to Antarctica in a Gulfstream G550 or G650 bizjets and land on Wolf's Fang blue ice runway (aka Blue One) in Queen Maud Land. The ALCI ski-equipped BT-67s fly guests between camps. Originally flown in the UK as RAF FD789 and G-AKNB, it was exported to the US in 1989 as N59NA. To Basler in 2014. To BT-67 N141PR in Sep. 2018 and to Canada in Nov 2019 as C-GOOU.

Built as 44-76332 and delivered to the RAF as KN347 in February 1945. To the Belgian Air Force as K-28/OT-CNO in January 1950 and became OO-SNC with the Belgian Government in 1951. Later to Angola initially as CR-LOH and later D2-EFL. To Aerocaribbean as CU-T124 in January 1987 and to Aerotaxi in 1999. Believed re-registered as CU-T1058 by March 2003. Withdrawn and placed on display at Havana Airport with false registration CT-T1559 and scrapped in 2011.

Built as 42-5692 for the USAAF. To TWA in 1946 as NC51165/NX51165. To Cruzeiro as PP-CED in July 1957 and sold by them to RICO Linhas Aereas in October 1976, the aircraft was impounded at Miami in August 1980 and spent two years in storage at Opa Locka. Registration CP-1668 was allocated but not taken up and the aircraft was impounded again, this time at Port Au Prince in November 1983. Operating with Rutaca by 1991 it was withdrawn from use at Ciudad Bolivar circa 2001.

Intended to be a C-47B (43-49012) for the USAAF, the aircraft was delivered to the Navy as an R4D-6, serial 50761. It was later re-designated as an R4D-6Q. It was transferred to the Army in 1958, then in 1962 was again re-designated as an EC-47J. After retirement from military service it was transferred to the US Departmet of Agriculture in 1976.

Indianapolis was home to the Experimental Station of the CAA, which became the FAA in this year, 1958. BuNo 99854 was apparently on loan from the US Navy. Later used by US Department of Agriculture as N32A. To Confederate Air Force in 1980 as N227GB. Photo from: Federal Aviation Administration

Two years later, when operated by Stellair, F-BYCU crash landed en was damaged beyond repair.

The small Aces High logo on the leading part of the fin was later removed.

Already covered very well here at AirHistory, so let me just add a recent picture. Her last real identity was N65371 and before that LN-KLV.

Part of the display at Rygge was "flying" the tail of the Dakota for about one-third of the runway before setting it down and landing the aircraft.

Ex Pan American and here on delivery to Spantax where it became EC-AQB. Later to Aeroflete then withdrawn from use in 1974. At this period aircraft new to the register initially wore the letter 'W' in place of the 'A'. This only worked up to EC-AZZ without duplicating allocations which is probably why the EC-### system later came into use.
