The penultimate DC-6 built, delivered to JAT in 1958 as YU-AFA, and transferred the Yugoslav Air Force in 1961 as 73101 for use as Marshall Tito's personal transport . It was gifted to Zambia for use with the Zambian Air Force as GBM-110 in 1975 and after some time withdrawn from use at Lusaka, was purchased by NCA in 1994. Restored to this immaculate condition and flown by NCA on charter flights until sold to Red Bull as N996DM in June 2000. Flying as OE-LDM at time of upload.
