List of surviving Curtiss C-46 Commandos
This is a list of surviving Curtiss C-46 Commandos, including both airworthy and on display or stored aircraft. As of August 2021, there are three aircraft known to be regularly flown in active revenue service; one with Everts Air Cargo (N54514 "Maid in Japan"), and two with Buffalo Airways. In addition, there is one airworthy Museum example; Tinker Belle (N78774) which frequently takes part in Spring through Autumn airshows and museum events. One of Everts Air Cargo, (N1822M "Salmon Ella"), was withdrawn from use in July 2018 after an accident, however it is  currently undergoing repair. Three others, (N1837M "Hot Stuff", N7848B "Dumbo" and N1651M) are in storage. Everts also has several mothballed air-frames which they hold mainly for spare parts, but some of them could possibly be returned to service if the need arose. There are several stored examples in Bolivia, however none of them are currently active. One of them (CP-1655) owned by Eco Express Cargo Services, was being brought back to serviceable condition prior to 2012, and one more (CP-973) is set up for passenger configuration, however it is reportedly now up for sale. The future use  of these Bolivian examples is uncertain as the C46 has not seen any use since the crash of CP-1319 (Skyteam Flight Training) in 2012. There is one additional stored example (C-GIBX) which is stored serviceable, but with the Certificate of Registration cancelled, at Gimli, Manitoba, Canada. This aircraft was tied up in receivership, however according to First Nations Transport, as of Jan 2016, the aircraft is claimed to be airworthy with two new engines and available for sale with the fire bottles and props needing updates. One last example; China Doll (N53594) was airworthy and flown by the Commemorative  Air Force Museum, however it is currently grounded due to Federal Aviation Administration regulations regarding propeller time as well as having corrosion issues. She was originally scheduled to be restored back to airworthy status by 2019, however the severity of the corrosion was more extensive than first thought and the funds to bring her back to serviceable condition are not currently available.
