Photo Comment

Wartime C-47 42-24029 delivered to the US Army Air Force July 19, 1943. Transferred to the Reconstruction Finance Corp in 1946, the aircraft was sold to Skyfreight Airlines in 1947 and on to Canadian Pacific Airlines just weeks later on May 21, 1947 as CF-CUG. Pictured recently acquired by Air North in December 1979, still in previous owner Eldorado Aviation's colors. With Air North until 1995 when it went to the USA, the classic airliner is presently N9891A at the time of uploading.
