N74589 Douglas C-47A Dakota Tunison Foundation

N74589 Douglas C-47A Dakota named "Placid Lassie" and operated by the Tunison Foundation. Her engines are also named: Idling Ada (L) for Apodaca's wife and Eager Eileen (R) for Tunison's. "Placid Lassie" was built by the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, CA as a C-47 in July 1943 with S/N 42-24064. She cost $109,683 to build (just short of $2 million in 2023). She visited Fort Wayne, IN, Barstow, CA, and Mobile, AL before being assigned to the 74th Troop Carrier Squadron, 434th Troop Carrier Group, in August 1943.
The Tunison Foundation is a non-profit flying museum, dedicated to preserving the memory of the Greatest Generation through our active, airworthy memorials to their service in World War II and beyond. Headquartered at Hudson Valley Regional Airport (KPOU) in Poughkeepsie, NY, the Foundation endeavors to educate the general public about the Second World War and the sacrifices made to ensure freedom and democracy for millions around the world. Seen landing in the Scottish rain on runway 30 at Prestwick on 22nd May 2024, having flown in from Reykjavik, en route to the "D" day celebrations in Europe in June.
