Delivered to Northwest Orient Airlines as DC-6B N577 in 1957, it served until 1964 when it was acquired by the Finnish operator KAR-AIR and registered OH-KDA. In 1968 it was converted to swing-tail (ST) configuration by SABENA at Brussels. In 1982 it was sold to Trans Air Link as N867TA, passing to Northern Air Cargo in 1986. Sadly, on 25th September 2001, this beautiful propliner was destroyed when, just after touchdown at Deadhorse-Alpine Airstrip, AK., the left wing broke free from the fuselage, the aircraft veered to the left of the runway, down an embankment, and was consumed by fire.

Built for the USAF in 1952 as C-118A serial 51-3834, which the FAA quoted as its c/n, it served until retired to the MASDC "boneyard" at Tucson in April 1975. In April 1979 it was civilianised as N1036F and acquired by NAC in 1981, serving with them until 2001 when it was withdrawn from use. In September 2009 it was bought by Everts Air Cargo as a spares source to support their DC-6 fleet, and it's derelict hulk is thought to live on at their Fairbanks base. Note that evidence of its USAF history can still be discerned on the lower forward fuselage.
