Baron Aviation Services' DC-3C (C-49K) N486C taking off at Abbotsford , BC., on 7th June 1986. It was taking part in a mass fly-by of DC-3s over the Expo '86 site in downtown Vancouver as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first delivery flight of the type to American Airlines on 7th June 1936. After many years lapsing into dereliction condition at Rolla-Vichy Airport, MO., it has recently been moved by road to Montana where reportedly it will converted into B&B accommodation.
