OK-WAA  Douglas DC-3                                                    (c/n  19343)

                                

                                       This shot from CSA shows the first aircraft acquired (allotted) to the Czech national carrier
                                       after WW II.  An ex C-47A-70-DL (42-100880) it is seen at the old terminal at Prague's
                                       Ruzyne Airport in 1946.  Airline titling not yet applied.  The aircraft on the right umber the
                                       port wing is a Siebal 204, several of which were produced in Czechoslovakia at around
                                       that time.   In 1948 when the communist government took over, CSA's flights to Western
                                       Europe were banned, and the fleet was replaced by Russian types, LI-2, IL-12 et al.
                                       Re-registered OK-WAT in 1948, this DC-3 was later sold to the French Air Force as
                                       100880 with the call-sign F-RHRC.  In 1971 it went to the Yugoslav Air Force with
                                        serial no. 71273.   OK-WAA today is an Airbus A310.,
