Nachdem ich mir das ok fürs fotografieren holte und man mir meinen Standort zu teilte , meinte eine andere Person ich stehe dort falsch und müsse den Standort so fort verlassen. Ich könne mich am anderen Ende hin stellen. Um dort hin zu kommen müsste ich allerdings einmal quer über die Anlage laufen was ich nicht tat. Somit gibt es hier von keine weiteren Bilder.
Jedes volle Fahrzeug wird gewogen. Leer wurden alle zu Anfang gewogen und jeder hat eine Nummer mit bekommen diese muss deutlich am Fahrzeug sichtbar sein.

N141PR, a Basler BT-67 owned by N141PR LLC and operating for AIRtec, lining up on RWY28 at Dublin Airport after a fuel stop while routing from USA to Djibouti.
The Basler BT-67 is modified Douglas DC-3 (C-47), with changes that include stretching the fuselage, new engines, propellers, avionics, hydraulics and many may others. It provides operators with larger interior volume, more speed and larger fuel capacity.
This particular aircraft was built in late 1942, as was delivered as 42-32817 to the US Air Force in February 1943. It was transferred to the Royal Air Force later in 1943 as FD789, operating for 24 Squadron, a Transport Squadron based at RAF Hendon in North West London.. 24 Squadron split in in 1942 and 1943, with the C-47 Dakotas transferring to the newly formed 512 Squadron in 1943. After the war, the aircraft was transferred to the Royal Indian Air Force retaining its RAF serial FD789. Following India gaining its independence from the British Empire in 1947, the aircraft returned to the UK, where it went on the civilian register as G-AKNB operating firstly for Scottish Aviation Ltd (Nov 1947 - Aug 1948), then Guinea Air Traders (Aug 1948 - Feb 1950) and then Field Aircraft Services Ltd (Feb1950 - March 1950). The aircraft briefly went on the Burma aircraft register in 1950 as XY-ACN, operating for Union of Burma Airways. By mid Oct 1950, the aircraft was back in the UK, with registration G-AKNB reapplied, operating for BEA - British European Airways. It had a spell of 9yrs operating with BEA, until in 1959 it was sold to Silver City Airways, the Post War British Independent airline operating primarily between the UK and Europe. Silver City was taken over by British United Airways in 1962, and this aircraft transferred to BUA in March 1962. It operated with BUA until 1968 when ownership transferred to Ulster Air Transport, an airline founded in 1967 primarily operating flights between Northern Ireland Scotland. Later in the same year, the aircraft was leased by Autair International Airways, the British holiday charter airline based at Luton Airport. The following year the aircraft transferred to the Channel Islands, operating for Intra Airways, the charter airline operating passenger and cargo charters from the Channel Islands to the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. It had a spell of 9yrs operating for Intra Airways. In 1978, the aircraft went on the Irish register as EI-BDU, one of 2 C-47s used by the newly formed Clyden Airways. After its spell on the Irish register the aircraft was back to the UK in 1982, again as G-AKNB, transferring to Aces High Ltd, the TV and film industry aviation specialists. The aircraft was Damaged after an incident in Blackpool in Sept 1982, and it was then placed on display at Imperial War Museum in Duxford. But its time on the ground wasn't permanent, and after a repair project, it was back in the air in 1989, operating cargo services for Northern Airways as N59NA. In 1994 it transferred to Champlain Air, and then in 2007 it transferred to BGA Aviation. In 2014, it was acquired by Basler Turbo Conversions, who completed the conversion of the aircraft to a BT-67. In 2018 it was then registered as N141PR to a company called N141PR LLC, the owners of the aircraft when this photographer was taken. As I said above, the operators of the aircraft at the time was a company called AIRtec.
AIRtec is a company based at St. Marys County Airport in Maryland, which modifies and operates jet, turbo-prop, fixed and rotary-wing aircraft to deliver critical airborne services to government and science customers. It has been providing airborne support for Dept. of Defense and NASA projects since 1987.
However they sold the aircraft later in 2019 and it as bought by a Canadian Company called ALCI Aviation, going onto the Canadian register as C-GOOU. It currently operates for Enterprise Aviation based at Oshawa Executive Airport in Ontario, Canada.
