Red Bull Douglas DC-6B.
Registration: OE-LDM.
The DC-6 is a four-engine commercial aircraft developed and built by the Douglas Aircraft Company. It was produced from 1946 to 1959.
Development of the DC-6 began during World War II, so it was initially intended as a military transport aircraft. After the end of the war, however, the design was modified so that the DC-6 could compete with the Lockheed Constellation. More than 700 DC-6 aircraft were built, some of which are still in active service even today, mostly as cargo planes.
