Flying Commandos (C-46)
Hi folks, Appreciate your knowledge on
1. where Curtiss C-46 Commando aircraft are still operational in 2010 (South America, Africa, Asia).
2. where derelict hulks may still be lurking at airfields (not crash sites) in Asia (India, SouthEast Asia, China)
a couple of airframes continue to fly in Canada (Buffalo Airways) and Alaska (Everts) and Confederate Air Force (airshows) but from there my research dries up very fast.
Cheers 5Bucks

There is one at the War Memorial Museum in Seoul, and I think this might be another one at Gimhae airport in Busan.
Google Maps
(The Google image is a few years old and there has been a lot of redevelopment at the airport so I am not sure if this is still the exact location)

Manila airport recently
Everyone - the question was about OPERATIONAL C-46s. You are all listing museum pieces, as intersting as they are, it doesn't answer the question.

By the way, nice one HAmrah!!!
Ridge runner you need to re-read the original question. Pay particular attention to line 2....
