Instead, it was drafted into service with the USAAF as S\/N 43-2013 during World War II. By 1949, it found its way to Delta, where it became an integral part of the airline’s expanding fleet, flying passengers and cargo for nearly a decade. In 1957, it moved on to North Central Airlines and later passed through multiple owners. In 1979, while privately owned, it was involved in a minor incident. Eventually, it was donated to the Museum of Flight, where it was repainted in a fictional Alaska Airlines livery as NC91008. After years on display at KBFI, it was removed and sold—until MotoArt acquired its original wings in 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DC-3 was the aircraft that helped Delta soar to new heights, transforming it from a regional carrier into a global powerhouse. Its legacy is woven into the fabric of modern aviation, and its impact is still felt today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1353\/7931\/files\/DELTA_DC-3_NC15748_GALLERY01_480x600_6f171c08-af5e-4f61-9f5b-1a491f9dfd0e.jpg?v=1741029753\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, you can hold a tangible piece of history.
