Resurrected by museum volunteers from a wreck found in Hattiesburg, MS

Climbing away at 4-30pm to begin it's display, always nice to see a classic tansport aircraft such as this. (Canon 40D 190mm)

Photographed landing after its flying display at Flying Legends 2010.

In Norway AF / RAF No. 20 Transport Squadron markings.

Pictured basking in the late afternoon sunshine after taking part in the flying display for Flying Legends 2010. The small titles on the nose read 'DC-3 75 Years 1935-2010 we keep history alive'.

At Flying Legends 2014. Painted in unusual Norway AF / RAF No. 20 Transport Squadron markings, which were only briefly carried in Norway between June 1945 and Feb 1946. This Squadron, unrelated to the RAF's own No.20 Squadron, was in fact a continuation of the German Air Force 20 Transportfliegergeschwader. The squadron, formally controlled by the RAF, was the first step in re-establishing civil aviation in Norway after the war, using several DC-3s and Lockheed L-18 Lodestars. In 1946 the DC-3s were transferred to DNL, Norway's main pre-war airline and one of the predecessors of SAS. Looking spotless and superb

To USAAF as 42-68823 in June 1943. Transferred to Aero O/Y in 1948 as OH-LCG, then to the Finnish AF in 1969 as DO-9. It was sold to the USA and became N59NA on 30 May 1985. But that reg was soon cancelled and on 20 August 1985 N59NA was taken up by DC-3 c/n 9043, which still carries today. Meanwhile, this aircraft became LN-WND in July 1986, initially with Warbirds of Norway, which changed their name to Dakota Norway in 1989. It sometimes features in movies, for example painted as RAF KN452 in 1992 or as Egypt Air "EN-WND" in the 2008 movie "Olsenbanden Junior på rocker'n".

Interesting cabin of a classic! Parked here at the military base of Latacunga. Ex PP-AKI. Dataplate checked by myself. (Nikon D610 + Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S)

One of the few conserved C-53's in Ecuador. She is on display at the Air Force base in Latacunga. Ex PP-AKI. Dataplate checked by myself. (Nikon D610 + Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S).

Ex USAAF 42-68750, a C-53D-DO. The cheat line follows the same form as North Central, the previous operator.

Built as a C-53D-DO for the USAAF, 42-68718. Other regns include NC44883, N61SA and CU-T127.

The magnificent Aviodrome museum has a replica of the 1928 Amsterdam Airport terminal building and here, with Dakota Norway's aircraft sitting in front, it looks totally appropriate

Broken up at Kastrup in July 1968.
