One of a kind Everts paint scheme. Before he passed away, Cliff Everts told me that he hated it and it would never be repeated. This aircraft was written off after striking a berm while on final approach to the airport at Candle, Alaska on August 1, 2019. It was operating as Flight VTS-24 from Fairbanks to Candle and the good news is that none of the three crewmembers onboard were injured.

Parked at Everts' North Hangar most likely out of Part 121 airframe hours. If so, it could be used as a spares airplane or brought into service with Everts Fuel, which operates under Part 125.

Still in the PAT Air cols I photographed it in at St Louis in Mar 80, now owned by Florida Aircraft Leasing. It went on to fly another 26 years with a variety of operators until ending up as N600UA with Universal Airlines. Damaged beyond repair in a belly landing at Cold Bay AK 12 Jun 2011 as N600UA with Universal Airlines. The crew got distracted and failed to lower the gear for landing!

Ex Aero B Venezuela cols, owned by Atlas Aircraft Corporation since Nov 84. It is very likely that it was officially registered N873TA soon after the acquisition but that the reg was not applied until it was flying again. To Transporte Aerea Dominicano in Feb 86 as HI-474 (later HI-474CT). Withdrawn from use Jul 91.

This was a second DC-6 registered to Vortex Inc. as N11VX. (The first, c/n 43266, was sold in 1983 as HR-AIV). This one was previously N99114 with Vortex and was re-reg in 83 when the other N11VX left for Honduras. Vortex did a great deal of contract work for the CIA at the time. This frame later became N9779N.

This was a second DC-6 registered to Vortex Inc. as N11VX. (The first, c/n 43266, was sold in 1983 as HR-AIV). This one was previously N99114 with Vortex and was re-reg in 83 when the other N11VX left for Honduras. Vortex did a great deal of contract work for the CIA at the time. This frame later became N9779N.

Registered to International Airline Support Group and not looking too great at the time. It was, however to continue flying both as N64695 and later N66TR with several owners until retired in the late 90s as 5Y-SJP with Relief Air.
