In September 1950 Pan American World Airways ordered 45 DC-6B aircraft. The first Pan Am aircraft made its maiden flight on May 1, 1952 on the New York to London route. On April 26, 1954 Pan Am took possession of N5121V MSN 44121/470 and named it "Clipper Splendid". This aircraft operated with Pan Am until March 2, 1961 when it was sold to Loftleidir and registered as TF-LLC. After 2 additional owners the aircraft ended its career being scrapped by the Peruvian Air Force as FAP-380.
Designed to meet a USAAF requirement for a larger-capacity transport than the C-54 (DC-4), the Douglas DC-6 was first flown on June 29th, 1946. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
