| Preserved at La Ferté-Alais airfield. Built in 1944 at Tulsa Oklahoma, send to Italy in the 12th Air Force during the war and then bought by Air France in 1946. She was modified in "Maximizer" DC-3 by Canadair-Limited at Montréal at the end of 1946. Rent to Air Atlas (Morroco) in 1950 and Air Madagascar during the 50's. Retired from the Air France fleet in 1964 and bought by the CNET (Centre National d'Etude des Télécommunications) and registred F-SEBD she was used as a liaison aircraft. Retired from the CNET fleet in 1981, she was registred F-BLOZ at the end of 1981. In 1985 she was bought by the AJBS (Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis) at La Ferté-Alais airfield. She was displayed in many airshow and used in many movies during the 80's and 90's. Last flight in the early 90's (maybe 1994), she is now used for movies and static display at the La Ferté-Alais annual airshow. The engines are in running condition and there is an ambitious project to make re-fly again this old lady. | |
