1. Title: "A Veteran's Rest: Douglas C-47B Dakota KJ960 at the Hellenic Air Force Museum" 2. Caption: The Douglas C-47B Dakota KJ960, with the registration number 14807 and former US military serial number 43-48991, proudly stands on display at the Hellenic Air Force Museum located at Tatoi Air Base in Dekeleia, Greece. This historic aircraft, a variant of the iconic DC-3 transport plane, is a testament to the enduring legacy of aviation and its role in military history. Manufactured by Douglas Aircraft Company in 1945, the C-47B Dakota served the United States military for over two decades before being transferred to Greece in the late 1960s. Its military career included service during the Korean War, where it played a crucial role in transporting troops and supplies. Retired from active duty, KJ960 was preserved and eventually found its new home at the Hellenic Air Force Museum. The museum, which opened in 1971, is dedicated to showcasing the history of the Hellenic Air Force and its contributions to Greek military aviation. The Dakota's addition to the museum's collection is a significant addition, offering visitors a glimpse into the past and the evolution of military aviation. The Douglas C-47B Dakota KJ960 remains an essential piece of aviation history, a reminder of the vital role transport aircraft played in military operations and the enduring impact they continue to have on modern military capabilities. Its presence at the Hellenic Air Force Museum serves as a tribute to the past, present, and future of military aviation. This photograph, taken circa 2000, captures the Douglas C-47B Dakota KJ960 in its permanent resting place, a fitting testament to the plane's storied history and the important role it played in shaping the future of military aviation.
