Photo Comment
This DC-3 is longtime airport resident and was moved to an isolated ramp at the south end of the airport a few years ago. Acquired by Reeve Aleutian in 1946, it was the airline's first DC-3 and it still wear's faded Reeve colors and Salair titles. It is currently owned by the Alaska Aviation Museum. A quick look inside showed a cargo interior and a cockpit totally devoid of instruments and other equipment. This DC-3 is an historical Alaskan icon and deserves to be preserved.
