Ex USAF DC-3A-360 42-5694 and SE-APZ. With the Swedish air force the aircraft was used for signal intelligence over the Baltic sea. On 13 June 1952 it was shot down by a Soviet MiG-15 during such a mission. All crew perished. In 2003 the wreckage was located and in 2004 lifted from the sea bed. It is displayed in the Flyvapenmuseum underneath the main hall in blueish light giving an impression how it was found in 2003.
