OE-LDM. Douglas DC-6B. Red Bull. Oshkosh. 200726.

The Red Bulls DC-6 was a top highlight at this years Air Venture.
Built in 1958, it was delivered to JAT and used as a luxury transport aircraft by Yugoslavian Marshal Josip Broz Tito. In 1975 it was gifted to President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia as his official presidential transport plane. In 2000 it was discovered in storage in Windhoek, Namibia, and purchased by The Flying Bulls. It then underwent a massive, multi-year restoration back to better-than-factory condition with a luxury modern interior and upgraded avionics.
