The AC is a C-46 which was acquired from the Marines after sitting at Pensacola for years.   Pending restoration.   This particular aircraft actually flew supply missions over the "hump' to China in WWII.

Exhaust flame suppressor used on C-47s carrying paratroops and gliders to destinations in France in the wee hours of 6/6/44
