The Unique and Odd Ones

[r_stopnicki 92]

These are DC-6's that flew well into the late 90's carrying passengers, cargo but mainly meat (the "meat haulers"), working for obscure and at times one-airplane airlines. Some of them crashed (one when the pilot decided to abort a take-off, on a 5000 ft runway, when one engine failed at V1) and some, can still be seen languishing in the harsh environment of the high Andes mountains.
