Stored at Asuncion in good condition although with its wings removed. This aircraft was delivered to the USAAF as TC-47B 44-76298 in Feb 1945. It was converted to TC-47D in Nov 1946, then to C-47D in Apr 1947. It was transferred to MAP (Military Assistance Program) in Mar 1974, and on to the Paraguay Air Force as T-81. By 1992 it had become 2010 as seen here. Withdrawn from use circa 2002 and stored for many years at Asuncion. About half a year after this picture was taken it was moved to Ñu-Guazú AB for display.
