Douglas DC-6 (OE-LDM)

WOW... Nice looking plane

The DC-6B was a beautiful aircraft in its own right but Red Bull made it a 200 karat jewel.

A beautiful image Luis.

Wish it would come to Oshkosh close to where I live.

What memories!!! I worked on DC6/C118 aircraft when I was in the USAF and stationed in Belgium. That was in the mid 1970s!!!

Indeed I have seen that plane at the Red Bull Museum in Salzburg, and they have all the planes he owns.

First plane I ever rode in! Northwest Airlines from Missoula, MT to Spokane, WA to Portland, OR and ending at Seattle-Tacoma, WA. Local Red Eye. Easter weekend 1963. Return to MSO was on a DC-7 via GEG which I liked better.

My neighbor, the late Bob Combs of Miami, flew DC-6s and DC-7s to the Dominican Republic. I learned that the main difference in engines was that DC-7s were turbocharged and, at night, the flames shooting from the exhausts were remarkable.

"Did I want a Hyacinth Macaw from the D.R. for $75?"

Answer: No thanks, I don't want a $75 bird!

RED bull is buying all aircraft of the world!!!
By the way this is an extrordinary picture of an estraordinary airplane I flew on it in LFSB (BALAIR)
