Drug Busting BT-67 ( DC-3 with turbines) Panama City runway excursion- no damage

A Basler BT-67 Turbo 67 (DC-3T) operated by AIRtec was returning from a counternarcotics flight on Dec 14 when it suffered a runway excursion upon landing at runway 01 at Albrook-Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport (PAC/MPMG), Panama City.
The aircraft was not damaged in the incident.  

Good to see the old DC-3 still working hard , and surviving to fly another day !

To a more conventional Skytrain / Dakota….

Aero Legends airframe N473DC is over-winter sheltering in the BBMF hangar at Coningsby. For those unaware it is ex USAAF 42-100882 and also ex RAF TS422. The airframe was heavily involved, with the RAF, in recovering gliders back to the UK for re-use post D-Day. It also saw action at Arnhem and the crossing of the Rhine during WWII.

ZA947’s return, from Duxford, has been further delayed and not now expected before the Spring of 2025.

There was something I read about a Basler doing work in Cornwall last week.
