Delivered new to Japan Air Lines in October 1954 as JA6206 and sold to Faucett of Peru as OB-R-827 in May 1966. Bought by Frigorifico Reyes in April 1981 and operated with them as CP-1651 until withdrawn and stored at La Paz. Although Fri-Reyes have long gone, the aircraft is still present on their former ramp at time of upload. It was somewhat optimistically advertised for sale at the end of 2021, without engines, for $50,000

Originally built for Pan Am as N5118V and sold to Loftleidir in May 1960. At some later date the Douglas logo and small registration were replaced by 'TF-LLB' in larger letters and the name Snorri Sturluson was added. It was scrapped after serving in the Biafra Airlift as TF-AAG with Flughjalp in 1969. [The bright highlight below the flight deck suggests this low-light shot was augmented with flash.]

When Biafra seceded from Nigeria in 1967, a bitter war started leading to a humanitarian crisis that was widely publicized. Responding to this crisis, a number of humanitarian organizations established what is Biafran Airlift. TF-OAA participated in the airlift during most of 1969 in this drab livery it still carried almost a year later. Photographer unknown

This DC-6 was preserved at the SAAF Museum at Swartkop from 1998 until sold to Peter Bauman circa Nov 2005, but it remained stored here at Swartkop. This DC-6 was re-sold to Witold Walus (owner of Drakensberg Truck Manufacturers) in 2008, and in 2010 work was started to restore it to flying condition, for one flight only. It was registered as ZS-MUL on 29 Oct 2010, and on 4 Dec 2010 the Six made its last flight, from Swartkop to a small airstrip at the owner's site near Wallmannsthal, South Africa. It was still preserved there by June 2021.

slide scan from the NK collection. - One of the very few DC-6s, which are still alive at the time of upload! The aircraft still flies in Alaska with Everts Air Fuel; it was in service with BIAS more than fifty years ago, from 1969 till 1971.
