So,
Trying to keep up with the questions, as this is the first time I ever responded to a thread, that is new terminology for me, thanks skippy cage, for your remark, I would have continued with DC-6 in the weeds had I known better.
DB2, of couse it will fly again, after sitting for six years, and having on flown only 4 times in 18 years, the first test flight was a success with only a rigging problem, and the second test flight, the plane flew like it came from the factory, the next morning, it was fueled up, and went nonstop to Texas, without one gig.
shays picts, It was givin to the USN in 1976, the USN used it until 1984, with an overhaul in 1982 at NAS Alemeda. I am partial to USN auircraft, as I was an airwinger in the USMC, so all of my aircraft are USN, except a couple, and all of them were built in 1954, 2 T-28B's, 1 T-28C, 1 S2F-2, 1 JRB, 1 Super Cub(1954 Dutch AF, PH KNU) 1943 L-4, I have pans to make a USN/USMC flying airmuseum/ club, however due to the fact that the DC-6/C-118 first Duty was at Randolph in 1954, it is back home, as Zuehl used to be Randolph aux feild. The DC-6/C-118 was used by the USAF from 1954-1966, then it was used by????, until 1976, then it was used by the USN until 1984. The last base was NAS Willow Grove, PA. 1984
I really am open as to what scheme to put on it, I was really thinking of a clasic civilian scheme frommthe past, as there are plenty of stars and bars out there, so.... whatever.
