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.

Being the former USAAF 42-93257 and RAF KG557, CC-129 12928 served for 29 years with the RCAF. It was decommissioned in June 1975, after its final operations with 429 Squadron at Winnipeg. It ended up in cold storage here, wearing the remains of its sprayed-on last civil registration, outside this view. Below the cabin windows, very faded "TRAINING COMMAND" titles can be seen.

The most obvious damage on the remains of this plane (some visible at the left wing root, too), plus evidence of reuse of parts of the fuselage structure. The mishap occurred nearly 21 years before the photo date, when fuel starvation led to a crash landing just 0.5NM (some 900m) short of the Ft. Simpson runway.

Was damaged beyond economical repair and subsequently written off, after its excursion from a slush-covered Calgary runway ended in a ditch, in May 1982. This was the former 42-93476 and KG632, that served the RCAF as 12934 from 1946 to 1971 before becoming civil and joining Kenn Borek Air.

On the forward fuselage is a badge depicting a JATO equipped penguin with helmet and goggles, under the text 'Extreme Altitude' in all caps. The 109th Airlift Wing provides annual support to the National Science Foundation. The LC-130s fly to destinations like Summit Station on the Greenland ice cap, where jet (actually rocket) assisted take-offs are often necessary from the not-so-solid snow runway at 3200 meters (10530 feet) above sea level.

Functional is the keyword here, with a bit of new mixed in with the old and faithful. The captain's clipboard has a classic Winnipeg aerodrome chart as a background, and the copilot's shows the After Landing and Shutdown checklistst. As per those, the 'bungie cord' that ensures locking the ailerons against gust damage has been installed.

One of the world's last DC-3 passenger cabins for scheduled service, a duty that PNR had been performing since Buffalo started it in August 1986. The service ended a few months after the photo date. Being able to examine these aircraft inside and out is part of the completely free tours that Buffalo offers, as Joe finds it important to share his affection for them with as many people as possible.

Famous insigna on PNR's nose. "Summer Wages" was a country song about loggers blowing their income on entertainment, thought fit by 'Buffalo' Joe for this plane as he spent all his money converting it for civil use. The story behind the small door being dubbed 'hamburger door' is a lot less poetic: it is named after what a person would become when opening it with the engine running...

A closer look at the nose art. The full text (all caps) reads: Captain Dickinson; Ed Force Three; C-47 RAF KG330; No. 512 Squadron; D-day June 6th 1944. Iron Maiden member Bruce Dickinson visited Buffalo and felt WZS deserved a name, having such a history. He decided on 'Ed Force Three' after the band's tourplane, that is in turn named after their mascot Eddie.

This well-travelled 1969 amphibian was on the Canadian register as C-FTXC for some two years as of May 1996. She then went to the USA as N215NC and came back, to Buffalo, in May 2011 with the current reg. As shown, it still had the flag of North Carolina on the tail and the emblem of its Forest Service on the forward door. The aircraft is for sale.

As the guide explained, 'Joe traded this for one of his favourite cars, so it must be special'. Built in 1946, this Canuck has done a lot of private Canadian flying, including aerobatics, and has been equipped with wheels, floats and skis. It was registered to the Buffalo School of Aviation in March 2003. The day after this photo was added, Mikey McBryan posted a video on YouTube documenting how this aircraft was brought back to flying status after 17 years!
