Swiss Air Lines DC-4
This album features some shots of the DC-4 that Swissair had leased from South African Airways' Historic Flight unit for 4 months in the summer of 1997 to commemorate 50 years of transatlantic service. The airplane is back in South Africa now, operating as ZS-AUB, and unfortunately it will probably never be seen in Switzerland again...
The air-to-air shots were taken on a special photo flight out of Classic Air's DC-3 HB-ISB, cruising over the region of Zurich.
