In April1968, Wien Air
Alaska absorbed Northern Consolidated Airlines, which had been founded
in 1947, and the resultant line was known as
Wien Consolidated. The small carrier had five aircraft
at that time, one of
which was this Twin Otter, seen here in this superb shot by Peter de
Groot, on a
wet apron at Fairbanks in
1972. NCA formerly served a large number of small
communities in west-
ern Alaska out of Fairbanks, Anchorage and
Bethel. This early Twin Otter was sold off in 1977.
