AIR AMERICA: CURTISS C-46s - The University of Texas at Dallas

February 65; cancelled on 23 February 65 on sale to Liechtenstein; the “owner” may
have been “Anstalt Wigmo”, a CIA front registered in Liechtenstein on 21 Sept. 64 to
manage Agency operations in the Congo (Hagedorn / Hellström, Foreign invaders,
p.150); they had several C-46s including former SE-CFA (c/n 30483, then 9Q-CWN),
SE-CFD (c/n 26713, then 9Q-CRP), and SE-CFG (c/n 26710, as scrap); N9279L was
seen at Dakar in March 65; probably reregd. as 9Q-C?? in 65; Wigmo continued to
operate with cargo aircraft until late 1969, when the Congolese operation was
renamed SODEMAC (Hagedorn/Hellström, p.154); our C-46 was sold to the Fuerza
Aérea Mexicana as TEC-6051 in 1990; current in Sept. 93; noted in Dec. 93 in the
scrap area at Santa Lucia airfield.
