This C-46F was one of 234 that rolled off the assembly line in Buffalo NY. It flew with the USAAF as 44-78663 from bases in the SE US as a transport and glider tow plane until declared surplus in the early 50s. It then flew for Meteor Air Transport and was put to work hauling clothing to Detroit and car parts to New Jersey. After Meteor's demise the plane changed hands many times before being acquired by the CAF in February 1978 and assigned to the East Texas Wing. The newly formed So Cal Wing gave the plane a permanent home at Camarillo, arriving in the spring of 1982.

This aircraft was one of a few leased to Lufthansa for cargo flights throughout Europe during the mid 1960s. Its former serial 477920 was slightly visible on the tail, and suggests its a former Korean Air Force airframe.

The 1980s were still a time of big radial engines in Winnipeg. Local carriers like Ilford Riverton / Air Manitoba and Aero Trades Western had DC-3s, DC-4s, C-46s and a PBY kept busy flying north. CF-FNC was acquired by Ilford Riverton in 1982 and sold by Air Manitoba in 1990. It returned to Alaska with Everts Air Fuel as N1837M where it is still current at the time of uploading.

A rather sad photo of this lonely and abandoned Commando that served so many, starting with the USAAF as 42-3679, but also the Israeli AF and many civil operators, up until SELVA Colombia as HK-3150 from 1984 until 1995 (the word 'Colombia' of its former operator is still visible). Unfortunately, this aircraft was scrapped in 2019.
