Operated by Pan American Airways from July 1955 through October 1963 as Clipper Winged Racer, and later as Clipper Yankee. Interesting that at this point in 1967 the Hermans Hermits had The Who as one of the warm up acts! In the slide the a/c is being loaded up as the bands had their concert the night before.

This DC-6 made an emergency landing at KBTR after hitting trees on approach to the airport in New Orleans, LA. in heavy fog the day before this slide was taken. New Orleans is about 50 miles southeast of Baton Rouge. Note the damage to the wing leading edge from a tree. There also was extensive damage under the fuselage, including a gash running from the wing to the tail. Additionally, the number four engine was damaged and was shut down and feathered, as can be seen in the slide. They were lucky to walk away uninjured from this incident.

This 1995 LongRanger was seized by the government of Ecuador and pressed into service with the National Police based in the Quito Distrito Metropolitano (Metropolitan District of Quito). No injuries occurred during a hard landing in August 2005, but the helicopter was declared a write off. It was rebuilt, however and has been with RLC since December 2006.

This 1995 LongRanger was seized by the government of Ecuador and pressed into service with the National Police based in the Quito Distrito Metropolitano (Metropolitan District of Quito). No injuries occurred during a hard landing in August 2005, but the helicopter was declared a write off. It was rebuilt, however and has been with RLC since December 2006.
