N7848B ¦ FAI 24.06.1986

            Curtiss C-46R Commando (c/n 273/CK250)
Everts Air Fuel
Fairbanks-International (FAI/PAFA)
24 June 1986

Delivered to the USAF as a C-46A in 1945 shortly before the end of WWII, this Commando soon became surplus, and was sold to the civil market. Circa 1958 it was converted to a C-46R, and after countless operators, it was eventually registered as N7848B, and leased by Everts Air Fuel in 1985.

It was seen at its base, titleless and in an all-silver finish, ready to be towed to the hangar after arriving on a flight earlier in the day.

The Commando continued with Everts delivering fuel to remote communities not linked to the state road system, and recent photos suggest that it is still active with Everts Air Fuel, now named 'Dumbo' and based at Kenai, and turning a proud 80 this year!
