With its wings and tailed removed, this former Northern Air Cargo C-118 is one of a lineup of DC-6 type aircraft awaiting the scrapman in the Everts boneyard. This aircraft was retired in the fall of 2008 ending a long Propliner tradition at NAC.

Ferried Anchorage - Fairbanks May 2009 and purchased by Everts Air Fuel to use as source of spares.

NAC acquired this Liftmaster in March 1991. At the time of this photo it was more than half a century old, having been delivered to the USAF in April 1955 (as 53-3265). When Northern Air Cargo was taken over by Saltchuk Resources from Seattle, it was decided to phase out these wonderful old propliners. This oldie was sold to Everts Air Cargo in 2009 for spares use, and slowly reduced to scrap at Fairbanks, AK in the years that followed.
