Originally intended for American Airlines, this DC-3 was diverted to the USAAF as a C-49J during the war, taking serial 43-1973. Converted back to DC-3 specification, it entered service with Eastern as NC44792 and N44792 after 1948. Sold on as N792G and later familiar as N165LG of Florida Airmotive, it was acquired by NEAM in 1992 and from 2016 received this splendid restoration to its immediate post-war state.
