The Douglas DC-6 is widely regarded as the finest piston engined airliner of all time. Its operation today is testament to the genius of its original design and the efforts of a dedicated team.
The aircraft has transatlantic range, a good turn of speed and remarkable fuel economy equivalent to that of similar sized modern jet aircraft.
A well understood design, the DC-6 benefits from excellent spares back-up, dependable engines and a corp of engineers and crew with several decades experience of the type.
The Cloudmaster is owned by Instone Air Lines, which in 1919 became the first trading concern in the world to employ aeroplanes in its ordinary business.
As she enters the forth decade in our ownership it is a thrill for us to operate this wonderful aircraft and we look forward to sharing her with you.
