The final arrival at Sola for the Musum. 01-06-2020 N151 took off from Faribanks, and after ca 30 minutes had to return and go back due to a problem with engine no 3. After approx two hours it took off again and flew to Yellowknife in Canada, which was the final stop before an alomst 15 hours flight across the Atlantic and after a lowpass at Bergen, it came for a lowpass along rwy 18 at Sola, before tunring and arriving rwy 36, shown by these photos. The "QRILL PET ARCTIC WORLD SERIES" is an important sign of how this ferry flight was made possible.

N151 seen at the lowpass it made along rwy 18 before its final lading at rwy 36.. To me personally, it was a tremendous joy to be there and watch it come and arrive after its final flight, led by Robert Everts, the chief of Everts Air Cargo who said "I could gladly have flown this aircaft to Las Palmas" after he had arrived with this beautufil DC-6B repanited as it was when it left BU in 1971 as LN-SUB. Now it has been beautiful restored even inside and will soon be under roof at Sola Air Museum, led by real Aviation enthusiasts. In the pandemic: "The Old one flies, while new ones are grounded

In the Everts main hangar undergoing a routine inspection. After expending its Part 121 airframe hours, this airplane was painted in Braathens-SAFE colors and flown to Norway on June 1/2, 2020. It was operated by Braathens in the 1960s and will go on display at the Flyhistorisk Museum Sola in Stavanger, Norway.

Taken at about 10 PM or even later! Among others, previous identities included Conair (C-GICD), Delta Air Transport (OO-VGL / OO-LVG) and Braathens SAFE (LN-SUB). This is the aircraft which in 2020 was repainted in Braathens livery as LN-SUB and flown across the Atlantic (it's last flight), to arrive at Sola Airport, Stavanger (Norway) June 2nd, 2020. It has taken up permanent residence at the Museum of Aviation History. Sadly, it was deemed too expensive to keep it as a flying exhibit.

An interesting size comparison as the Douglas passes by the parked Kalitta N748CK

The best part for me was the sound of the Douglas as it departed.
