Post war C-47D 45-1115 , converted to a VC-47D in 1950, was sold to Desert Air Parts in October 1972 registered N17777. Imported into Canada as C-GCZG in January 1975 by Ontario Central Airlines, the aircraft was a fixture in Winnipeg for almost twenty years. Withdrawn by Air Manitoba in May 1992, it was sold to Buffalo Airways in January 1994. Registered to Aviation Boreal in May 1995, it was damaged beyond repair landing on frozen Kenty Lake in Quebec when one ski hit a snowbank and collapsed the landing gear.
