OY-BPB / K-682
Douglas C-47A Skytrain (DC-3)
20019
Bohnstedt-Petersen A/S
In the late 1980s, Bohnstedt-Petersen A/S used this ex-Royal Danish Air Force aircraft as a company plane, but also for pleasure flights at airshows. From the early 1990s, the C-47A was operated and maintainted by The Association for Flying Museums Planes/Danish Dakota Friends (DC-3 Vennerne).
In December 2019, the permanent grounding of the aircraft for technical and financial reasons was announced, but it then received a new engine and was kept in flying condition after all. So this is now (2021) the last airworthy DC-3/C-47 in Denmark.
