HARS has two DC-3s, they were both built during WW11 in Oklahoma City in early 1945. Both were delivered to US Army Air Force on the same day, 20th April, 1945. They are #76774 and #76764. They were delivered to the RAAF as A65-94 and A65-95 in May, 1945.
Both aircraft were flown by the RAAF in New Guinea and the South West Pacific theatre during WW11. Both aircraft served with many different RAAF Squadrons, and at times were used for VIP transport, air crew training and pilot currency, general transport duties, and weapons trials at Aircraft Research Development Unit (ARDU).
Both aircraft were decommissioned from the RAAF in 2000 at 55 years of age with ~14,600 and ~14,900 flights hours respectively.
