Previous US Army, Basler Flight Service, Amerijet International... manufactured 1944. June 1988 sold to SAGAT Turin management agency of the Turin/Caselle airport Italy and ferried to Italy where it was repainted white/blue and transformed in a static attraction at the airport and painted as "I-LEON" of Linee Aeree Italiane.
The last of the trio of DC-3s that more-less regularly operate from Opa Locka these days, does not attract too much by its colours, however a white DC-3 is still better than all those boring Ryanairs and Wizz Airs...
This DC-3 of Atlantic Air Cargo is a familiar sight in Opa Locka and I already photographed her 10 years ago, however to see a flying DC-3 in normal traffic is rare today. Together with others operates mainly with cargo to/from Bahamas..
