DESCRIPTION



LA CUMBRE was a La Paz based cargo company founded in 1974 with two C-46s Commando. In 1977 it purchased two Dc-6s from VASP Brasil plus a third in the USA, this was howaver soon lost in an accident. The C-46s have been withdrawn, and one DC-6 cannibalized, leaving a single DC-6 in service.

This CP-1283 DC-6 is painted as seen stored in La Paz during May 1985. It still carries the VASP cheatline.
