C-47A Skytrain 492622 of the Hellenic Air Force, intended to look as she looked at the time of her retirement. First flown right after the end of World War II and exported to Greece in 1949, she took part in the Korean War, and served with 355th squadron, becoming the very last C-47 in Europe to be retired from active military service in 2008. She took part in the 2003 Kecskemét Air Show, where she flew in formation with the world's last flying Lisunov Li-2 (HA-LIX).
Greece operated a sizeable fleet of Skytrains/Dakotas (91 examples according to several sources), obtained from the United States and the United Kingdom during the late 1940s. They were used in the Greek civil war, the Korean War, and during the 1974 Cyprus conflict.
