A R4D Skytrain forward fuselage waits patiently for the possibility of restoration while stored at the boneyard of the Planes of Fame Museum. R4D-6 was the designation given to 157 C-47Bs that were transferred to the US Navy, redesignated C-47J in 1962. Civil DC-3 production ended in 1942 with only 607 aircraft being produced. However, when combined with the military version and overseas production by the Russians and Japanese, over 16,000 were built.  Nikon D500 w/18-200mm.
