Built in 1952 and originally named Clipper Plymouth Rock, but renamed as above after a period of being leased out. In 1967 it was converted to C-118A standard and flew with the Fuerza Aerea de Chile as 987. In 1992 it was acquired by Woods Air Fuel as N861TA and burnt out in a take-off crash from Nixon Fork Mine, AK on 2 January 1998. McIntyre labeled this as N6117C which it clearly is not. All I have to go on is 22C on the n/w door. Since N6522C and N7822C existed at the same time I compared names and since N7822C was Clipper Undaunted, I went with Clipper Hanover as its length fits that on the image better.

Built in 1958 for Aaxico Airlines and here in service with TCA. On 23 April 1965 it flew into a glacier on Mount Rainier/WA while at 10,000 feet.

Built for Hunting-Clan in 1958 and here with BUA and still retaining the H-C red fin. In 1968 it flew with Air Ferry then was exported as HB-IBS in 1969.

Bought by the USAF 1965 and converted to C-118A 65-12816, it was leased to Chile under MDAP as FAC 985 in 1967. Returning to the USA in 1982, it was added to Conair's fleet in April and converted to a tanker. Sold in 2000 to Tatonduk Outfitters Ltd (Everts Air Cargo) as N60759, the aircraft was moved to their storage yard in Fairbanks, AK in 2002 where it remains, now registered N511CE.

Started service life as CF-CUS with Canadian Pacific in 1953, and was broken up 31 years later at Le Bourget; the French Navy was the final operator. - Slide taken by the late Norbert Kröpfl. Operated by the Section de Soutien de Dugny (SSD) based at BAN Dugny-Le Bourget.

With both front and rear freight doors open, this well-used DC-6 awaits its days work in the north-west corner of Miami International.
