Photo Comment

Built as a C-47B but modified to AC-47D with radar nose for checking navigational aids with 1858 AACS MATS. Here it is mis-painted and should have read 0-349250 or 0-49250. Re-designated to EC-47D in 1962 to make way for the AC-47D gunship version. To Thai Air Force as L2Or-1/07 in 1963. Preserved at Lopburi, Thailand by 1995.
