Captured after Aero Trades titles were removed, it is doing a run-up with take-off flap set so hopefully the steps were put away! This is about the time it was sold to Soundair at Toronto and after they'd finished with it, it ended up in Liberia.

Qantas retained two immaculate DC-4s for services to Norfolk Island. It was in theory an international destination and Qantas protected its international monopoly vigorously. But for an airline with ambitions to become all 747 they were an expensive luxury. Runway restricts on the island stopped jets and limits on overwater operations prevented twin props. The dilemma was resolved when an exemption was given to allow F27s with long-range tanks to replace the DC-4s. Longer, stronger runways later opened the airport to 737 and A320 aircraft.

Owned and operated by Bob McSwiggan. Although no specific date can be found it was reported as having suffered a nosewheel collapse landing at Opa Locka in "March 2000". This photo being taken on 28 March 2000 may well be after repairs or before the incident. The aircraft did go on to fly again.

This C-54 served as US Navy R5D-4R Bu90407 from 1945 until 1971. After storage at MASDC it went through many owners, as N67038 since 1975 and as N51848 since 1978. It was first seen at the museum in Feb 1992. In early 1998 it was restored in these Military Air Transport Service (MATS) markings, with its authentic serial 90407 and "US Navy" and "Pacific Division" titles on the tail. The Military Air Transport Service was formed in 1948 out of the US Navy's Naval Air Transport Service (NATS) and the USAF's Air Transport Command (ATC). It was discontinued in 1966.

By 1995 there were only 21.051 flighthours on the airframe. More than 50 years after its initial delivery it was bought, in 1996, by Atlantic Warbirds Inc (New Hampshire, USA) and they were responsible for a complete restoration in magnificent MATS colourscheme with BuNo 56498. In September 2002 it was bought by Sherman Aircraft Sales Inc and registered that same date to Aces High US Ltd. It arrived together with N31356 at North Weald on 27 September 2002.

If only I had known they would manage to get this beauty ready for a ferry flight across the lake that same evening. She departed to Yellowknife some five hours after I left. With 27,673 hours on the clock, she was put up for sale after the 2015 fire season and still is in 2020.
