The aircraft on which the “Puff” nickname was first carried was 43-48579, one of a trio of original FC-47D’s operated by the 1st ACS. This aircraft was built during World War II as a C-47B-5-DK. The aircraft was later modified to C-47D standards (its superchargers having been removed). The conversion was done by Air International, Inc. in Miami, to a FC-47D standard. When 43-48579 was assigned to the 1st ACS, this airframe was a mail courier aircraft (in early 1964) and initially maintained its gloss white upper fuselage with natural metal finish on the rest of the airframe.
Original by TSMC, i repainted and modified it to FC/AC-47D standard, starting from open cargo door with interior, SUU-11A/A gun pod on makeshift mount, wide array of antennae and other little details that matter
