Notes: Although this aircraft sports (spurious) military markings, she is not a C-47 but, in fact, a rare classic airliner that originally flew for United Air Lines. Exposed to the elements for a long time outside a restaurant in Delaware, she is now receiving TLC at the Massey Air Museum, Massey, MD, whose band of dedicated volunteers are working to restore her to her former airliner glory.
