The famous sole surviving swingtail DC-6, bought by Buffalo in 2013 as a Bank of Utah trustee in order to keep the US registration. She seems to never have flown since arriving here and even still be sitting in the same spot in 2020.

I was a little disappointed to find this one in the maintenance hangar as I would have liked a better photo of it. The reason was that I had flown LPA-ACE-LPA on it in Feb 1973 when it was EC-BBK with Spantax (with swing tail but in passenger configuration).

NAC's last DC-6 still sits behind their cargo facility at Fairbanks International Airport. Most of the remaining fleet has been sold to Everts but rumor has it NAC won't sell this aircraft because of its unique swingtail conversion.
