The legendary aircraft Douglas DC-6 will be renovated
The Douglas DC-6 meant fundamental change in the civil aviation after second world war. Its long range and reliability cleared the way for nonstop intercontinental flights as we know them today. It represents also the last phase of classic piston engines in air traffic after which the age of turbine engines had come. Its four eighteen cylinder double radial engines gurgle gorgeously like a big volume american car or motorcycle and also that is why this aircraft became the symbol of new afterwar free age of unlimited worldwide mobility. From several hundred units produced remained only two able to operate until today. The demanding maintenance of such a complicated machine cannot afford just anyone. The care of the first one took the Red Bull company and after ten thousands of renovation hours is today the decoration of their fleet and it is possible to see it often on European airports with the matriculation OE-LDM. The second of them with the matriculation V5-NCG had long uncertain fate because it was standing since 2010 on the Eros airport near the capital Windhoek in Namibia after the death of its owner. Just in May 2018 it took off again from the airport and headed to its new owner in America, who decided to renovate it.
