Notes:

The construction number of this aircraft has a very interesting history. Per the Flabob DC-3 Experience website, this aircraft was bought from the Pakistani Air Force in 1952 by Mr. Lee Mansdorf. Mr. Mansdorf discovered that the data plates on this bird had been removed by the PAF, and proceeded to create 'bogus' plates with made up construction numbers. For this reason, although the aircraft's construction number is not 33569, as noted on the data plates on the aircraft, but rather 9531.
