This beautiful C-46D is the former USAAF 44-78541, which was delivered to the South Korean Air Force on 25 September 1968. It was on display at the War Memorial Museum as '8541'. Presumably, this still is the same plane here, but it now carries a somewhat different serial, although the last three are still the same.
