This old Doug will no doubt soon be plying mission to very remote dirt strips somewhere in the Colombian jungle.

Villavicencio Airport, Colombia - It was a privilege to see so many operational DC3's at one place. I have found some history on this aircraft. This example was formerly operated by Transamazonica, Taxi Aereo el Venado and Lineas Aereas La Urraca and Avianca in Colombia.. Prior to Colombia it was registered in Brasil as PP-ANG (1961-1966) and tracking back further was registered as NC50037 in the USA (1946). It was originally delivered to the US Army Air Force as 41-7808 in April 1942
HK-1315 belonged to the Varig in the 60's and wore registration PP-ANG
Rugged Andean peaks and narrow and poorly maintained roads will keep these ancient workhorses flying for several years to come
Colombia probably has the biggest fleet of flying DC-3s
