This aircraft, one of two that had been in open storage since 2002, looked to be in good condition. The other was broken up in 2017 but this one is in far better condition. There are plans to return it to the air, though that will be a very costly exercise.

Seen at the Flypast Magazine fly-in. This aircraft had been in open storage for some considerable time. It was painted to resemble a USAF C-54, but in fact this machine never saw any military service at all. It was scrapped in 2019 but the nose section was preserved at Burtonwood.

Behind the Netherlands Government Air Transport C-54 is PK-DSC, one of four Skymasters delivered to the Netherlands Indies air force in 1946. Given civil registrations, they were briefly used by the resurrected KNILM airline for a Batavia (Jakarta) - Los Angeles service through Biak, Kwajalein and Honolulu - total flying time, almost 50 hours! NL-305 and PK-DSC to KLM in August 1947 as PH-TAG and TSC, respectively. We think the photo must have been taken at Kemayoran and the hedges do show in some other pictures.

Delivered to the USAF as 43-17253 in October 1945 and also operated for the Navy as 56549. Transferred to NAS Guantanama (Cuba) around 1971-1972. To air Response in July 1986 as N99AS. Stored at Falcon Field between 1997 and 2002. Later acquired by Brooks Air Fuel (Alaska), but the aircraft never left the airport. It was scrapped around MArch/April 2010, althought the cockpit and forward fuselage were preserved. Those parts were seen at Concrete (WA) in July 2012.
