Painted to represent AC-47D 43-49010 which flew "Spooky" gunship missions from Udorn RTAFB with the 4th SOS in the late 1960s during the Vietnam War, this is really a C-47K allocated serial 44-76486. That aircraft was delivered directly to the USN as R3D-7 BuNo 39103 in March 1945, becoming a TC-47B in 1962. In 1965 it was transferred to the US Army as an NC-47D, retaining 39103 as serial. In 1971 modified to NEC-47H and later same year to C-47K, serving as an electronic test aircraft with an Army detachment at NAS Lakehurst. To Eglin in 1976 and remained. My 1979 photo here
