This picture was taken by my father at Semarang airfield, shortly before it was handed over to the Indonesian air force. It shows several Dutch C-47s, including T-973. This aircraft had already been handed over to the KNILM - Koninklijke Nederlandsch-Indische Luchtvaart Maatschappij - as PK-RCO in 1947, but went back to the Netherlands Air Force because it was needed in the Indonesian war of independence. This may well be the last picture of that aircraft wearing Dutch markings. It remained in Indonesia after hostilities ended and went to Garuda as PK-GDD.

Previously with Aeromarket (Spain) as EC-FNS (and many other I/Ds before that) it was acquired by South Coast Airways / The Dakota Club in 2001. It then went on to European Flyers and Kilo Aviation circa 2002 and repainted as can be seen with other photos of it here on AirHistory. By October 2010 it was operating with LASER Aero Colombia and from Mar 2012 with ALIANSA Colombia as HK-4700 with both airlines. It was destroyed when it crashed in mountainous terrain 45Kms from San Vicente del Caguan 8 May 2014.

This was one of the C-47s built as a floatplane. Appears to have been converted to a standard C-47A by the time it went into service in the Pacific campaign during World War II. Reputed to have been refitted with floats during its time on the Philippines register initially as PI-C40 from 1946. Was a normal C-47A when it was dumped at Manila airport.

This was one of the C-47s built as a floatplane. Appears to have been converted to a standard C-47A by the time it went into service in the Pacific campaign during World War II. Reputed to have been refitted with floats during its time on the Philippines register initially as PI-C40 from 1946. Was a normal C-47A when it was dumped at Manila airport.

Initially imported for Aero Trades (Western) here at Winnipeg. Although still registered to Buffalo Airways in 2020, this aircraft was the one involved in the infamous crash landing at Hay River/NT on 19 August 2013 that resulted in Buffalo loosing their passenger operating certificate. Investigation revealed that aircraft loading was done on the "come-one-come-all basis" with little consideration of weight. This system worked until an engine caught fire after take-off and the aircraft was too heavy to stay airborne.

This aircraft is former USAAF C-47B 43-30726. It went to Turkey to serve with the Turkish Air Force Academy (Hava Harp Okulu) at Istanbul/Yeşilköy (hence the code YŞL). The aircraft is now preserved there, still in these markings.
