KLM - Douglas DC-2-142 "Uiver" (PH-AJU)

The Douglas DC-2 was a 14-seat, twin-propeller airliner produced by the Douglas Aircraft Corporation starting in 1934. This is one of the last flying DC-2's in the world. The real "Uiver" won the London-Melbourne handicap race in 1934, but crashed in the Syrian desert near Ruthbah-wells (Iraq) a few months later.
