Annual Check Douglas DC-6B

The crown jewel is set to shine in new splendour.

It is the polish that gives a rough diamond its characteristic sparkle. And the right polish requires the skills of an expert hand. In the case of the Douglas, more than one set of hands is needed. Therefore, a ten-strong tech crew of the Flying Bulls is taking care of the old lady.

The crown jewel in the Flying Bulls? collection looks back on a turbulent history, with heads of state such as Josip Tito and his prominent guests counting among the aircraft?s owners and passengers. A real lady never tells her age, but the Douglas is making an exception. On the occasion of her 52nd birthday, she is treating herself to a little time-out of three weeks after which she will shine in new splendour and kindle the flames of passion in her admirers? hearts.
