Johnson Flying Service bought this C-47A from the USAAF (ex 43-15731) in 1946 and operated it out of their base at Missoula, MT until sold in 1977. In 2001 Stan Cohen's Museum of Mountain Flying, also based at Missoula, bought it from McNeely Charter Service, and it arrived back at Missoula on 17 Oct 2001 on delivery. Initially the museum restored the aircraft to static display condition and by 2008 it had been repainted it in these original Johnson colours. It was later restored to flying condition, and Miss Montana had its first post-restoration flight out of Missoula on 19 May 2019. Three weeks later it participated in the Berlin Airlift 70th Anniversary in the UK, France and Germany as seen here, in pristine condition.

If you are the maker of this pic, please contact the uploader. Former X-13 of the Netherlands Air Force, possibly taken at Biak. It crashed 2 January 1961 with the loss of the entire crew.
