This ex-Aeroshell DC-3 was demolished in 2010/2011 at Guayaquil (SEGU) but the cockpit was transferred to Shell for a conversion to a simulator. Ex-USAAF 42-23969, then Royal Canadian Air Force 655, then CF-QJZ and N8064A. Identity checked from the data plate. (Nikon D610 + Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S)

Acquired by Missionary Flights International in 2015, and flown from South Africa to the USA in May 2017. Restoration continues with efforts concentrating on fuselage sheet metal repair. The "IORO" titles are in fact ICRC titles, which were modified to a meaningless IORO in early 2005. This was done to aid the aircraft (then 5Y-RDS) to escape from Kenya. Note the red cross on the fuselage roof.

This was the sole XC-53A, distinguished from the standard C-53 Skytrooper by experimental fitment of full-span slotted flaps. These are visible in this shot, extending almost to the wing tips. It was later converted back to standard C-53.
