Boeing 727
SE-DDC
c/n 20042

In september 1968 Transair took delivery of the third aircraft. This was a B 727-134C where "C" stands for Convertible, and it was named "Polar Circle". As can be seen on the picture above, this aircraft was equipped with a large cargo door. This made it possible to quickly change configuration from passenger to freighter.

When Transair ceased operations the aircraft was at once sold to a pure freighter operator, Emery Worldwide in US. The aircraft was handed over to the new owner in Great Falls, Montana where it got its new registration N 424EX and was named "William B Duncan" (see picture below).

Between autumm 1999 to october 2001 the aircraft was flying for United Postal Service with full titles and colour scheme.
