Canadian Pacific Airlines flew this DC-3 1946 - 60. From the mid-50s, it connected smaller destinations in BC and the Yukon with the rest of Canada. Sold in 1960 to Connelly-Dawson Airways (later Great Northern Airways), it continued based in Dawson City and Whitehorse, YT. Grounded with the bankruptcy of GNA in 1970, the aircraft was used as a source of parts by Northward Airlines until donated to the Yukon Flying Club in 1977. Pictured at the culmination of a restoration where the aircraft was mounted to become a weather vane and major area attraction.
