| Robert E. West Palmdale, CA | This aircraft was built as a C-53, actual serial number 41-20094, c/n 4864. It was later transferred to the US Navy as Bu No 05074 where it most likely gained the astrodome and large cargo doors. After a hitch in the Navy it went to civilian life as a DC-3A-S1C3G, N1301. The S1C3G reflects the modifications to engines. 11/25/2005 @ 15:11 [ref: 11793] |
