Still wearing #152 on its tail from its firebombing days with ARDCO, this DC-4 was looking very nice on American Aero's ramp at NSB Airport. The aircraft suffered a nose wheel collapse during landing rollout in August 2014, which required the #2 and #3 engines to be rebuilt and the props replaced.

"Luzern" was the first Swiss Air Lines DC-4 to visit Manchester when it replaced the usual DC-3 because of heavy passenger bookings. It stopped overnight on the 1938 apron and is seen wearing the original all-metallic scheme. HB-ILO served SR from 30 April 1947 until it was lost on an overshoot at Schiphol on 14 December 1951.
