Notes:

81 years old and still flying strong! 560PT made a quick fuel stop in Boise before continuing onto Anchorage. This DC-3 Turbo conversion has had an interesting life, as stated by Paul Seymour on the website Air History: " Delivered to the USAAF as 43-49178 then to the RAF as KK100 and the SAAF as 6849 in 1944. To ZS-DKP in 1955, VP-YSP in 1960, A2-ZEP in 1968, ZS-IPX in 1972 and A2-AAA in 1973. Back to ZS-IPX in 1977 then back to the SAAF as 6892 in 1989. Converted to a C-47TP in 1995. To N195RD in 1998, ZS-OJI in 1999, YV2119 by 2007 and N560PT in 2014." It was also stated on that same website by another user that when it was in Venezuela, it was flown to the US to avoid confiscation by Venezuelan authorities.
