This transport started life as a postwar military C-47B before being surplused and sold, then converted into a DC-3C. DC-3C was the designation for ex-military C-47/C-53/R4D aircraft rebuilt by Douglas Aircraft in 1946, given new manufacturer numbers, and sold on the civil market.  This aircraft was owned by the cookie folks at Otis Spunkmeyer before acquisition by the Hiller Aviation Museum in 2005. She was sold by the Museum in 2012 and currently resides in Siberia as the only DC-3 in Russia.  Nikon D70 w/28-85mm.
