Curtiss C-46 Commando, was registered as N4718N with Northeast Airlines, the Boston-based American carrier, though the manufacturer serial number for this specific airframe is not confirmed in available public records. N4718N supported Northeast's early postwar domestic U.S. network before the airline transitioned to more modern piston airliners and eventually jet aircraft, including its pioneering roles introducing the Boeing 707 in 1959 and the stretched Boeing 727-200 in 1967. Northeast Airlines built its identity around service to New England and Florida, adopting the distinctive "Yellowbird" livery in 1966, and the carrier's steady fleet modernization from wartime surplus transports like the C-46 through to cutting-edge jets reflected the broader trajectory of American regional carriers during the postwar aviation boom.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed as a twin-engine transport comparable to the Douglas C-47, the C-46 was first flown on March 26th, 1940. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
