Current Project #1 - N623DC

Proposed Color Scheme for N623DC

History

Originally built in Texas by North-American, N623DC was shipped to Rhodesia in the early 1940's. The RAF utilized N623DC as a trainer under the mark EZ127. The RAF then sold N623DC to the Dominican Republic in the early 1950's. Here N623DC flew under the mark FAD1051.

Contacts in the Dominican Republic confirm that N623DC sat outside for 20+ years. In 1999, the plane came back to the United States via Miami and was purchased by a gentleman in Manassas, VA. We purchased this project in April 2000 and officially remarked the T-6 as N623DC.
