Between 1958 and 1967 Olympic Airways operated 13 DC-6B aircraft, 10 were owned by the airline and 3 were leased from U.A.T. as F-BGSK, F-BGTY and F-BGTZ. In 1958 Olympic received their 4th DC-6B c/n 45539/1010 registered as SX-DAD and named "Isle of Rhodes". The aircraft was sold to Concare Aircraft Leasing and registered as N111AD. In 1973 the aircraft joined the Fuerza Aérea Guatematelca (Guatemalan Air Force) as FAG 926. In 1986 the DC-6 was operated with the civil registry of TG-WOP.
