27-11-2015 - Iberia, Douglas C-47B Skytrain (DC-3).
Two recognisable Spanish brands.
This beautifully preserved C-47 is on display at the Malaga Airport Museum (Located at Malaga Airport - Free entry!).
Displayed as EC-ABC, this aircraft is in fact EC-CPO.
The real EC-ABC unfortunately crashed in the Pico del Telegrafio mountains, Cuenca, on 29th April 1959 while on a scheduled flight from Barcelona to Madrid.
Info:
The aircraft was built in 1945 and delivered as 45-1091 to the US Air Force in August 1945 - attached to the Air Transport Command 556 Base Unit.
It was de-commissioned in 1961 and registered as N86442 to the Charlotte Aircraft Corporation on 5-10-1961.
The aircraft was then delivered the Spanish Air Force as T.3-50 on 5-5-1962. In late 1977 the aircraft was sold to Aerotransporte de Espana and registered EC-CPO. The aircraft was withdrawn from use on 19-8-1978 and was never flown again. It sat at Alicante airport for over years before being purchased by the Malaga Airport Museum in 2003 and was transported by road to the museum. It was restored and displayed in the I.D of EC-ABC.
