This 744 was originally delivered to Air France as F-GISA in September 1991 and also flew for Air France Asie and, after freighter conversion, Air France Cargo. The plane joined National in June 2010 and is pictured lifting off rw25L.

Ex-Spanish Air Force T.3-34 and G-BLFK with the hastily applied US registration N952CA on the fin. It later went to Canada as C-GJDM and was to become the prototype for the DC-3-2000 project with the fitment of Polish PZL radials, but the program stalled and it lapsed into dereliction at Peterborough, Ontario. More recently it has donated some of its vital organs to the restoration of C-47A N308SF "Night-Fright" restoration at Coventry. (With thanks to Ruud Leeuw's excellent web site for some of the above information).

Inbound to runway 7R at ANC with Mt, Susitna in the distance.

Landing at dusk.

Landing while on a ferry flight to the USA. Note the former Spanish Air Force identity, T.3-34, which is still visible. Later became C-GJDM but has lain derelict at Peterborough ON for many years.
