This DC-3 is longtime airport resident and was moved to an isolated ramp at the south end of the airport a few years ago. Acquired by Reeve Aleutian in 1946, it was the airline's first DC-3 and it still wear's faded Reeve colors and Salair titles. It is currently owned by the Alaska Aviation Museum. A quick look inside showed a cargo interior and a cockpit totally devoid of instruments and other equipment. This DC-3 is an historical Alaskan icon and deserves to be preserved.

The wings were being reinstalled on this DC-6A in late July 2020. The owner's son recently reported on Facebook. "After 17 years sitting up here in the hills were finally getting to her. She was put on pilings a few weeks ago. And within this last week we've put a wing back on along with motors and some ridiculously bent props. This old girl is getting converted into a house by my dad."

This aircraft has been longtime airport resident and was moved to an isolated ramp at the south end of the airport a few years ago. It was once owned by Roger Brooks but is currently owned by the Alaska Aviation Museum. The aircraft is essentially complete and a look inside revealed a cabin full of "stuff." It was interesting to note that the door had a faded notice about the aircraft being sold at public auction.

Retired by Everts Air Cargo in 2016, this aircraft made its final flight from Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs Airport on October 2, 2016. Three large steel pylons were erected during the summer of 2018 and the aircraft was hoisted in place atop them. I asked some folks working at the resort what the plans were for the aircraft and was told that it might be used for a zip line or outfitted as a cocktail lounge. Also of note, this aircraft was the last Northern Air Cargo DC-6 type aircraft to be retired in September 2008.

The paint is a bit tattered but this veteran DC-6B was have a very busy day doing pilot training. It was flying most of the morning and I saw it later on in the day doing pattern work while I was in the terminal waiting for my flight to Anchorage. Interesting to note that the pilot being trained was a woman! Good for her, she's probably the only DC-6 type rated female pilot in the world.

The paint is a bit tattered but this veteran DC-6B was have a very busy day doing pilot training. It was flying most of the morning and I saw it later on in the day doing pattern work while I was in the terminal waiting for my flight to Anchorage. Interesting to note that the pilot being trained was a woman! Good for her, she's probably the only DC-6 type rated female pilot in the world.

Retired by Everts Air Cargo in 2016, this aircraft made its final flight from Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs Airport on October 2, 2016. Three large steel pylons were erected during the summer of 2018 and the aircraft was hoisted in place atop them. I asked some folks working at the resort what the plans were for the aircraft and was told that it might be used for a zip line or outfitted as a cocktail lounge. If they make it into a cocktail lounge, for sure they're going to have to install an elevator!

This former Everts DC-6B has been at the fire practice area for many years. The holes in the rear of the aircraft fuselage are not bullet holes but punctures where firefighters inserted a tool to introduce foam into the aircraft's cabin.

This C-123 was highly polished and reflections off the skin made photographing the aircraft in sunny conditions a bit of a challenge. It hasn't flown since the owner was killed in the crash of C-123K N709RR on the southern flank of Mount Healy, Alaska in 2010.
