N95589 ¦ RYN 17.10.1995

            Douglas DC-4 (c/n 18385/DO158)
Ardco Inc.
Tucson-Ryan Field (RYN/KRYN)
17 October 1995

This DC-4 was delivered as C-54B 43-17185 to the USAF in 1944, but was returned to the manufacturer after the war, and while most surplus C-54 just hit the civil market as C-54s, this one was Douglas conversion no. 40 and deliberately became a civil DC-4. Between 1946 and 1979, it flew for various airlines, before being acquired by Air Freighter Corp. as N95589, operating out of Miami on freight services.

In 1993 the DC-4 was acquired by Tucson-based Ardco Inc., retired at Ryan Field and used as a spares source for their operational DC-4 fleet. After most useful parts were removed, the DC-4 made a sorry appearance when seen at Ryan Field in fall 1995, still in basic Air Freighter colours, and sitting on its tail after losing the engines and outer wings. Still N95589, it was eventually broken-up at Ryan, and its marks were cancelled in 2005.
