This is a "Super Six" Harvard. It has, among other modifications, shorter wings and a more powerful geared engine with a large Hamilton three-bladed prop. This particular aircraft was delivered to the RCAF in Apr 1941, serial 3771. Struck off charge Dec 1960 and sold as CF-TSV in Mar 1970. Converted to airtanker and operated by Forest Protection Ltd. as Tanker #1 from 1978. Sold in the USA as N90541 in Mar 1987 and restored as a warbird. Acquired by Steffen Busch in July 2007, who took the Harvard with him when he moved from Canada to Germany in Sep 2010.

There is some confusion about the identity of this aircraft, with some sources quoting it as c/n 88-15778. But that seems impossible because that airframe was still in existence as F-BJBH at the CFA Métiers de l'Aérien at Toussus-le-Noble in France by 2011, while D-FAML made its first post-restoration flight in Dec 2006.
The other quoted identity, c/n 88-17026, seems much more likely. This is ex USAAF 42-85245 and US Navy 43854, sold as N6600C in 1963. To Hubert Mohr in Apr 1979 and flown in the USA as N77LT in German markings, coded 77-LT. In 1994 it was photographed at Baden-Baden in Germany as N77LT and it reportedly suffered an accident later. It was stored in Germany until sold to its current owners and restored in 2006.

Firing up engine #2, for its first pleasure flight of the day.

On this side this C-47 carries the name "Miss Virgina - Maddie Shinaberry", but on the other side it only has "Miss Virgina".

This DC-3 is based at Flabob Airport in Riverside, CA, hence the titles. It is officially registered as c/n 33569, but this is not correct. It is one of seven C-47s for which Lee Mansdorf falsified the documents and data plates with fake identities in 1953. Because of this, all registrations carried by this airframe since then (N2701A, N42F, CF-IKD and now N103NA) are often incorrectly quoted as c/n 33569. The aircraft is in fact c/n 9531, formerly Royal Air Force FD879 and USAAF 42-23669.

Named "Liberty", and operated by the Legend Airways Foundation.

On this side it only carries the name "Miss Virgina", on the other side it has "Miss Virgina - Maddie Shinaberry".
