Desert Air seem to operate just one DC-3 presently with a second DC-3 and a Covair 240 stored remotely at Anchorage IAP.

The active DC-3 (N44587) started life as a C-47A in 1944 and is currently registered as a DC-3C. It seemed to be pretty busy during our time at Anchorage.

The inactive DC-3 has the appropriate construction number of 4747 (N19906) and was again a C-47A in 1942. This particular aircraft served more than 20 years with Reeve Aleutian from 1946 and still sports basic RA colors.

There is also an immaculate Convair 240 (N153PA) awaiting work parked by the C-47 and resident C-133 Cargomaster.
