Delivered to the USAAF in December 1943 as 42-100857. Civilianized as NC70 and later N23 & N41 operating for the CAA/FAA.

Later painted in false Alaska ANG markings as '0315497'. Moved to Elmendorf Air Force Base when Kulis ANGB closed in 2011.

In the foreground is C-47D FAH-311. The Honduran Air Force received this a/c and other C-47Ds in October 1974. FAH-311 appears to be a bit of a mystery, as its previous USAF s/n and manufacturer s/n are unknown. In the background are USAF C-130 a/c which are preparing to airlift the ground echelon of the 169th Tactical Air Support Squadron, Illinois Air National Guard back to Peoria, IL.

In the foreground is C-47D FAH-311. The Honduran Air Force received this a/c and other C-47Ds in October 1974. FAH-311 appears to be a bit of a mystery, as its previous USAF s/n and manufacturer s/n are unknown. In the background are USAF C-130 a/c which are preparing to airlift the ground echelon of the 169th Tactical Air Support Squadron, Illinois Air National Guard back to Peoria, IL.

One of 28 new DC-3s built from parts after the war. This aircraft was apparently not taken up by Pacific Northern Airlines and served Aer Lingus from 1946 to 1964. Based on the livery and aircraft name, it should be possible to narrow down the date range. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

Built as 44-76906 for the USAAF, to the RAF as KN497 and to the West German Air Force in 1956. Sold to a US owner as N10801 in 1968 with the apparent intention of using it in Biafra but the aircraft remained stored in Portugal, eventually making it to the US in 1978. Delivered to the FA Salvadorena in 1985 and became the fourth airframe converted to a BT-67 by Basler in 1990. Withdrawn and stored at Ilopango by February 2011, still present in 2019.
