History of a DC-3.
Built as Skytrain registration 42-92995, construction number 12857, and delivered to the US Army Air Force on March 27, 1944, being assigned to the North African Wing of the US Air Transport Command on April 24, 1944. It was returned to the USA on August 20, 1945, going to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation on June 5, 1946. As NC44587 it went to West Coast Airlines, Fleet No. 101, on November 6, 1946.
A lease to Canada with Pacific Western Airlines as CF-ONH took place on April 17, 1962. It was back with West Coast Airlines on August 6, 1963, registered N44587, and went back to Pacific Western Airlines again as CF-ONH on March 15, 1964.
Air West next bought this DC-3 and it again became N44587. The Aerodyne Corporation of Renton, Washington, purchased the transport on January 28, 1969, and it was registered to them on April 9, 1969. Aerodyne went out of business and 12857 stood derelict at Renton from May 1974 until purchase by Salair, who today operate a fleet of DC-3 transports out of Seattle and Sacramento airports on cargo services.
Registered as N44587 and, in 2002, was owned by Alta Leasing Inc, Salt Lake City, Utah.
