An old American Aircraft, Minjasafn - Every plane has its history, this one was commissioned in 1944 and is Douglas DC-3 registered as C-117 number17191. It flew transport and combat missions in the Pacific, Atlantic and Antarctic oceans. It was sold to Iceland in 1973 and was used to transport personnel between Keflavik and Hofn. It was also used to evacuate people from an eruption of the Wesmanaeyjar Volcano in 1973. It was finally de-commissioned on 24th April 1977 and has been placed at this spot since
propellers of the aircraft are placed alongside.
