Acquired by Missionary Flights International in 2015, and flown from South Africa to the USA in May 2017. Restoration continues with efforts concentrating on fuselage sheet metal repair. The "IORO" titles are in fact ICRC titles, which were modified to a meaningless IORO in early 2005. This was done to aid the aircraft (then 5Y-RDS) to escape from Kenya. Note the red cross on the fuselage roof.

Owned by Rhoades Aviation. This old girl had quite an eventful flight back from Atlanta, GA the previous night, dodging level 4 thunderstorms.

Aircraft still has the ICRC titles that were changed to a meaningless "IORO" in early 2005. This was done to aid the aircraft (then 5Y-RDS) to escape from Kenya. It was acquired by Missionary Flights International in 2015 following 10 years of storage at Lanseria, South Africa, and ferried to MFI headquarters in May 2017. Currently undergoing a complete restoration to bring it in line with MFI's other two DC-3-65TP aircraft.
