Air Express DC-4s VH-EDA and EDB were sold in 1980 to Basler in the US as N5581S and N5581T respectively. However in a painting mix-up at Essendon the registrations were painted on the wrong aircraft. The error was corrected after arrival Oshkosh. EDA and EDB differed in detail. The former was a DC-4 and had a small porthole window behind the cockpit on the port side. EDB, a C-54, did not have this window. Mike Madden photo.

Fitting to the low construction number, this veteran has accumulated more than 70,000 flying hours as a military and civil transport. She has been moving troops, passengers and all sorts of cargo over deserts, arctic and everything in between. At the time of uploading, Buffalo's former fleet number 1 remains for sale.

Qantas' two DC-4 became anachronisms as the airline pushed towards becoming an all 747 operator in the late 1970s. Only DC-4s met the overwater safety requirements and still be able use the airport. The solution came with a dispensation for East-West to operate long-range Fokker F27 500s on the route. The airstrip has since been lengthened and strengthened for 737/A320 class airliners.

Temporarily out of service, "Arctic Distributor" is one well traveled C-54 that started out with the US Army Air Force as 42-107439. Airline life began in 1946 with American Airlines (Flagship America) registered N90414. In 1949, it was off to Australia with Qantas as VH-EBN where it flew with various airlines and registrations until 1980. Then to Canada, the aircraft was sold to Calm Air, Soundair and lastly, Buffalo Airways. Withdrawn at Hay River, NWT at the time of uploading.

Temporarily out of service, "Arctic Distributor" is one well traveled C-54 that started out with the US Army Air Force as 42-107439. Airline life began in 1946 with American Airlines (Flagship America) registered N90414. In 1949, it was off to Australia with Qantas as VH-EBN where it flew with various airlines and registrations until 1980. Then to Canada, the aircraft was sold to Calm Air, Soundair and lastly, Buffalo Airways. Withdrawn at Hay River, NWT at the time of uploading.
