Photo Comment

This Electra was delivered to Northwest in March 1961 but converted to cargo by April 1968. From January 1971 it was operated on behalf of Imperial Oil as CF-IJR until bought by Northwest Territorial Airways in 1983 (later NWT Air and C-FIJR). In December 1990 the plane joined Air Bridge Carriers as G-FIJR, later renamed Hunting Cargo in August 1992 and the plane is pictured resting up over daytime. It joined Atlantic Cargo (later Airlines) in November 1997 and Conair in October 2010 as C-GYCG, then Buffalo Airways from October 2016 but was stored as a spare parts source at Abbotsford (YXX).
