Douglas C-47B Skytrain (D-CXXX) "Rosinenbomber", c/n: 16124/32872, Air Service Berlin CFH GmbH, Berlin-Schönefeld AP, Germany

Note:

On 19-Jun-2010 this aircraft made an emergency landing shortly after taking off for a sight seeing flight around the city of Berlin. The crew set the airplane down into a grassy field near Selchow and the construction site of the new Berlin Brandenburg International Airport. Seven people received minor injuries, the airplane sustained substantial damage and is thought to be a write off.
The Douglas C-47 Skytrain became famous as "Rosinenbomber" (candy bomber) during the Berlin Blockade (1948-1949), when the aircraft - amongst other aircraft types - formed the backbone of the Berlin Airlift operation which managed to supply the western part of the city of Berlin over a period of a year.
