It is a nice picture but is it really a photograph? The lighting and the shading looks very artistic.

There were a few C46 still doing the heavy/unglorified lifting in Northern Canada (I think I saw a Perimeter C-46 in Winnipeg) a number of years ago. Think Buffalo Airlines has a few. Looked tough as nails.

Curtis c-46 over the Burma hump. A Canadian company gave each pilot 2500.00 to fly them back to Canada, from the Jungle. A lot of the C-46's where modified at Dotval Air for duty on the dew line. in the early 50's

What a great example of the largest twin on the planet and only 1 of 6 still flying today, so they say!

This very plane, Tinker Belle, was based (by the CAF) at my local airport (KOUN) in the 70-80's. Big and voluminous. If parked next to a DC-3, the poor DC-3 will look like a toy. I recall one pilot's description of the plane as, "What do you get when your twin eats too many donuts? You get the worlds largest twin."

I always thought the C-46 looked like an overweight C-47 but it sure could haul the freight! Another stunning piece of aviation art.
