a number of years ago i was on a cadet trip to the warplane museum in the elmira NY area with the cadet troop i was in. We arrived in the elmira area that night and the next day we went to the warplane museum and toured around it and i saw lots of different aircraft including this dc-3 which had its own model that was for sale at the museum store/gift shop and i bought this model and have had it for the longest time....

the number on it says 330709 (or 330708) and in tinier letters it says navy and 39091 or something..(R4D-S)

anyone know if it had a N number as a registration because all ive seen when i search for it is other stuff that doiesnt have to do with a dc-3

please help...i believe it has a real world counterpart...its a olive green drab usaf aircraft

thanks
