In 1957, Max Ward bought this sturdy Bristol for his airline based in Yellowknife, to attract freight business from mining and oil companies. The Freighter later made history by being the first wheeled aircraft to land at the North Pole, around 4am on May 6, 1967 flying out of Alert in support of a scientific expedition. The following year, it was donated to the city and made into a momument near the eastern end of the airport, honoring Canadian bush pilots.

Delivered to the USAAF as 44-61071, put into storage in India after the war, then flew with operators from Venezuela, Panama and the Dominican Republic from 1955 until withdrawal from use in 1976. Resurrected to fly with several Canadian airlines and with Buffalo since 2001. Its belly-landing in Déline on September 25, 2015 was no mean feat as the crew managed to get a crippled freighter onto a gravel airstrip without navaids, in solid IFR weather.

This King Air version has high-density seating for commuter services. Air Tindi was sold to holding company Discovery Air in December 2006, hence the standard small titles, added to the airline name. Contrary to most other planes in the fleet, this one's colours reflect the house style of the parent company.

70 years old here and going strong. AVO, with its half lower case registration, started out as 44-77846 with the USAAF and became civil with Capitol Airways in 1961 as N9891Z. Was leased to Lufthansa as such for five years, hence the crane that is still on the nose. To Canada in 1988 for Air Manitoba and with Buffalo since 1995. Seriously damaged during taxi in 2005 but rebuilt and meanwhile still active at 75.

Acquired in July 2011 and transferred to Alkan Air in December 2017. The 'ECG version' of the tail logo and cheatline are referring to the medevac function of this Beech, I presume. Meanwhile, Air Tindi has ceased most of its other services, as it struggles to survive the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Even in Yellowknife, everybody looks when a C-46 gets airborne"... The sound volume that goes with it may have to do with that! TXW is leaving in the morning on another Valley Run, packed with groceries and sundries. On the upper fuselage, just behind the cockpit door, the shade of its former RANSA titles is visible. That company operated her from 1955 until 1966.

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.
