Second DC-3 in Chile, from 1946, ex 45-990. Not a paramilitary aircraft - the circular LAN logo was never the air force roundel. Photographed by the globetrotting Sophie Petersen probably in 1952 at 'Balmacedas'. Balmaceda was a stop on the Santiago - Punta Arenas route. We understand that the airfield was once called Leonor, but it is assumed to be the same location as modern SCBA. CC-CLL to CC-CLDH in 1957 and to CC-CBN in 1963. Withdrawn in 1976. Note that this is not construction number 26794/15349, which was CC-CLL in the 1990s. Photo by: Sophie Petersen / National Museum of Denmark

Built for the USAAF as 43-49533, to Argentine AF as T-35 in May 1960 and re-serialled to TC-35 in 1962. Withdrawn in 1990 and registered to Aerocargo Regional in Chile in January 1992. Sold to Aero Servicio Parrague in 1993 and had just been withdrawn by them when seen here. Subsequently registered CC-PLU in 2000 and LV-BEH in 2006. Active in Argentina until at least 2015 and still believed to be potentially airworthy at General Rodruigez (GEZ) at time of upload.

Delivered to the USAAF as 43-49533 in 1944, To the Argentine Air Force as T-35 in 1960. Reserialled as TC-35 in 1962. Sold as CC-CLL in 1992 and used for fire fighting. Reregistered as CC-PLU in 2000 and LV-BEH in 2006.

There is no history found for this aircraft and nothing found on the operator. The apparatus under the fuselage may have been used to carry survey equipment so it could have been in Canada on a contract.
