                                          was operated, including half a dozen DC-3s.     TF-ISH was its first and spent its entire life in
                                          Iceland.   A former C-47A-60-DL (43-30710) with the USAAF it was attached to the 1386th
                                          Base Command at Meeks Field, Keflavík.   After hostilities ended it was purchased by Flugfelag
                                          Islands and named "Gljafaxi" ('Shining Horse').   It is seen above in 1948 at Akureyi Airport.
