C-47 42-108845 (cn 12298) was transferred to the US Navy January 10, 1944. The aircraft was converted to R4D-8 in 1953 with new cn 43385. Withdrawn and stored at Davis Monthan December 1979 - May 1982 when it became N9663N with Audi Air. Canada's Air 500 operated it 1987 - 91 as C-FALL before returning to the USA as N9663N again. Owned by a couple of leasing companies, it was stored at Fort Lauderdale, FL and later scrapped. The registration wasn't cancelled until 2013.
