Left behind when Malta International Aviation Company (MIACO) moved to a site in the outskirts of the village of Safi that once housed Royal Air Force Maintenance Unit (MU) No. 103. Here it's just shade for the local goats. It was later taken over by the International Fire & Safety School in Malta and finished off during fire training.

When International Air Response (formerly T&G) moved their base of operation from Chandler Memorial to Coolidge Municipal Airport, they scrapped many of the redundant propliners that had been stored on the field. The nose section of this former Macavia DC-6 was purchased by Pekka Kauppi in November 2006 and shipped to Tervakoski, Finland, where it arrived on 27 January 2009. He keeps it as a full-size simulator.

Twilight arrival, a DC-6 Mainliner taxis to the gate. With only 60 some arrivals in a 24hr period CMH could be a quiet place at times, which allowed a good listen to the throaty cough of the engines as it passed by.
