Taxiing in after landing on Runway 1L at Fairbanks. There are not many places you can see these old classic Dc6's flying these days and this one was built in 1953 and is still going strong.

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.

A few months after TAA sold its sole DC-6, DC-6A VH-TAD, it was back again at Sydney with new owner TMA. International cargo and passenger charters into Australia were severely restricted. But TMA appeared regularly exercising the long-standing air services agreement between Lebanon and Australia. Qantas operated to Beirut "in association" with BOAC, which actually operated the flights in an early version of code sharing. MEA did not fly to Australia.
