description=Douglas DC-3 NC12151 was acquired from the Afghan government after the overthrow of the Taliban. It served Afghan Air since WWII but was retired under Taliban rule as being the "American work of Satan." The engines were removed and an attempt was made to use them as cooling fans for Mullah Omar's palace, but this project was discontinued after several deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning and the engines went to the scrap heap. In 2002, an alert Val-U-Prop informer found the aircraft and offered the Karzai government $12.95 for it. Strapped for cash, the government agreed, on condition that "the ugly debris be removed from Afghanistan." Only too happy to oblige, Val-U-Prop re-installed the engines, and, after the usual repair and spray paint job, flew the aircraft on a four day flight from Kabul to Bloomington, Indiana, where it is now VP's main cargo hauler.
At Val-U-Prop! Where WE Val-U-YOU!! "No job too small; No fee too large."
