EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Douglas C-47A HK-1512 (msn 19039) of TANA Columbia, a prominent figure in the aviation world during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The C-47A, a military variant of the DC-3, was a versatile and iconic aircraft that played a significant role in both civilian and military aviation history. HK-1512, registered to Transportes Aereos Nacionales (TANA) of Colombia, is seen here in its distinctive livery. TANA was a Colombian airline that operated a fleet of C-47s for various purposes, including cargo transport and aerial spraying operations. The aircraft's rugged design and reliability made it an ideal choice for the demanding conditions of South American aviation. The exact date of this photograph is not known, but it is estimated to be around 1980. The image captures the C-47A as it taxis along a dusty runway, its powerful engines idling, ready for takeoff. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era in aviation, where the roar of piston engines and the smell of aviation fuel were commonplace. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a renowned archive of aviation history. The collection spans several decades and features an extensive range of aviation-related images, including military and civilian aircraft, aviators, and aviation infrastructure. This photograph of HK-1512 is a testament to the rich and diverse history of aviation, and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Douglas C-47A.
