Distant shot, aircraft parked far away from the show area. This Commando was delivered to the JASDF in January 1955 and was withdrawn from use in 1978. It became N5579Z on 31 July 1980 with Alaksa Rental & Sales Co. (Cliff Everts), who traded it to the USAF Museum in 1986. They loaned it to the Memorial Air Park at Hurlburt Field, FL, for display in its original markings as USAF 44-77424.

At Nenana Airport at 22:45, "Maid in Japan" is watching the horror of the raging Parks Highway Fire that approaches it from the south. The fire started only 7 hours earlier and at the moment of the photo it is still about 16 km (10 miles) away. But two days later it would burn the trees in the background, and the airport and part of the city needed to be evacuated. The fire's massive smoke plumes are still lit by the setting sun.

The C-46 is associated with the CBI theatre of WWII, but in Europe the USAAF's 313th Troop Carrier Group received it in early 1945, and this particular aircraft took part and was damaged in an Operation Varsity paradrop at Wesel on 24 March 1945. It reached the Pacific too as it served in the JASDF after the war.

One of the exhibits at the Gifu Air Base Museum and taken during the base open day. I waited as late as possible after the flying display before photographing the exhibits in order to reduce the number of people in the background. As you can see, I was about to lose the sun so couldn't wait any longer.

Still wears the last two digits of its old Japanese serial 51-1122 on the nose. Was later made airworthy again and became Everts Air Cargo's aptly-named "Maid in Japan".

Bet this aeroplane could tell some stories! Delivered to the USAAF in December 1944, it was withdrawn from military service in 1959. By 1987 it languished in a dealer's yard beside Davis-Monthan AFB. Thankfully, it was rescued in recent years and moved to Chino, California for eventual restoration.
