This Pratt & Whitney R-2800 powered Douglas DC-6A has been manufactured in 1954 at Douglas Long Beach factory and delivered to Belgium Air Force as OO-CTO in May that year. Her military career ended in 1959 and the 'Six' was transferred to SABENA and based in Belgium Congo. The DC-6 served for faithfully for years in Africa until she was sold to Société Secmafer Aviation/SFair of Nice, France. With SFair she flew a couple of year’s cargo charters before the company ceased operation in August 2008. This didn't meant the end of this freighter. In November 1979 she was sold to aircraft broker Jim Cullem of Tucson and exported to Indonesia for employment with Bayu Air Cargo. Registrated PK-BAY and named 'Nakula' Bayu Air Cargo operated her until Kemayora was abandoned in 1984. Nevertheless their freighter remained many years stored at the abandoned airport. She was still at the former Kemayoran grounds during 2003. I don't know when she is actually scrapped.
