C-47D DAKOTA
Undoubtedly the most historic and classic aircraft which will participate in "Archangel" is the C-47D Dakota. It is a twin-engine, cargo aircraft. The airplane was adapted from the DC-3 commercial airliner, which appeared in 1936.

The main mission of the C-47D was carrying personnel and cargo and in a combat role dropping paratroops and supplies into enemy territory. The first C-47s were ordered in 1940 and played a pivotal role in WWII. After the conflict, many C-47s remained in USAF service, participating in several important missions, such as the Berlin airlift in 1947 and the Korean War.

Hellenic C-47s had a vital contribution in the heroic efforts of the Hellenic troops during the Korean War, and in the Hellenic Air Force as a whole. They are currently based in 113 Combat Wing in Thessaloniki Air Force Base and belong to the 355.1 "Atlas" Flight of Tactical Air Transportations. They also wear the four-colour "Vietnam" camouflage.

On November 11 2006, a memorial flight of Corean war Veterans took place, with the C-47D "Poseidon", a war veteran itself.
