Does anybody here know what Alaska Air Fuel is going to be doing to stay operational?

I'm curious if 3054V will be put back in service? As I recall it sustained some minor damage several yeas ago as well. If not, perhaps the other one they picked up at auction earlier this year N51802? Hope they have options.........I can't imagine they have 4 serviceable engines ready to go?

Word is that they made a deal for N55CW (The Buffalo C-54D in Stark FL). Better that than for it to be parked in Buffalo's storage facility indefinitely.

We will see.

Thanks for that Info, hopefully it will all work out. It would be terrific to see N55CW (or any DC4/C54) back in the air regularly
