Note the flat tyre. The previous evening I had flown into YHY (from Yellowknife) on this a/c. I watched it depart YHY a little later and noticed smoke coming from the port engine. The aircraft made a circuit and landed, bursting its starboard tyre on landing. It was still awaiting attention when I took this photo the next morning. This same aircraft suffered an accident after take off from Yellowknife 19 Aug 2013. This time it was the starboard engine just as the aircraft rotated. A combination of being overweight and the prop not fully feathering resulted in an off airport emergency landing.

This was an old friend I had photographed back in Abbotsford BC in Jun 1986 when it was still operated by the The Department of Transportation Canada (as CF-CUE). It was acquired by Buffalo Airways in Feb 95. It wasn't until 2008 that it was seen in the Buffalo livery and once again showing CF-CUE.

If only I had known they would manage to get this beauty ready for a ferry flight across the lake that same evening. She departed to Yellowknife some five hours after I left. With 27,673 hours on the clock, she was put up for sale after the 2015 fire season and still is in 2020.

Tail art to underscore the environmental task as a fire bomber, for which she was being readied once more. The text says "Mountain Aven Protecting N.W.T. Beauty".

The pride taken by 'Buffalo Joe' and his company in the operation of this propliner is evident from the nose art. The "First around the World" logo was adopted by the Douglas Aircraft Company after a group of Douglas World Cruisers had successfully circumnavigated the globe - in 1924.

View from across the Hay River west arm, and runway 14/32, onto the main apron where Buffalo's "sked" is being serviced after arrival. The main storage area starts on the left and on the right is the main building with terminal.
