Photo Comment

Started with the USAAF as 42-93189, then TWA as NC88823 and a host of other operators, mainly as N86U. Ferried from Arizona to Austria in March 1988 and sat unused at Wiener Neustadt before being moved to SZG by road on 29 June 1996. First seen with historic registration OE-LBC, an A321 since February 1996, in 2000 (or earlier?) while N86U was cancelled in November 2014. The First Austrian DC-3 Dakota Club logo has made way for her second name, "Edelweiß", just like it was worn by the original.
