Robinson
Airlines DC-3-277B N25676
(c/n 2214)
This
shot of a Robinson Airlines DC-3 was taken just before the airline name
was changed in
1952, since the "C" has been knocked off the "NC" in the
rego. N25676 was named "Air
Chief
Niagara", a name it retained after being repainted as
Mohawk. As can be seen on
the following
shot of a Mohawk aircraft of similar genre, the basic livery was
maintaned.
This particular DC-3
was not an ex-military C-47, but had been delivered new to American
Overseas Airlines in 1940
via the Defense Supply Corporation. It was used for
transport
duties during WW II,
possibly in South America, Mohawk re-registered it N406D
in 1957.
It was sold to
Intermountain Aviation in the 1960s.
