Former USAAF 43-48252, delivered to Türkiye on 6 December 1948. It is reported with code ETI-41 (1980) and later 12-041 and 1-041. The Dak was last assigned to 1 THKIKK at Eskisehir and was badly damaged in August 1994 when it lost its right engine during take-off from its homebase. Luckily, the aircraft was able to make a safe landing. The C-47 was damaged beyond economical repair and written off. This photo was added on 20 February 2025, and has since been viewed 141 times. |
