This is former N4951W, a 737 delivered to Wien Air Alaska May 14, 1975. After Wien closed down in the summer of 1985, the aircraft went to Air Cal in November and was absorbed into American Airlines in the merger of July 1987. Northwest Territorial bought the 737 in February 1989, but was subsequently bought themselves by First Air in 1997 and merged. Damaged in a bounced hard landing at Yellowknife May 22, 2001, it was deemed uneconomical to repair.

Ex USAAF 41-18690. Other regns include TC-AKA, N51F and N62BA.

We rode out to Ft. Simpson from Yellowknife on this DC-3 on a mail, cargo and passenger flight.

One of NWT's all cargo Electra's flying across Canada. This one was originally delivered to KLM (PH-LLD) on October 10, 1959. Converted to a freighter in 1968, it flew for Universal Airlines (N852U), Saturn and Trans International/Transamerica airlines before coming to Canada June 1983. Sold in September 1986, the freighter flew mail with Falcon Aviation (SE-IVS) before going to Hunting Cargo (EI-CHW) May 1993. Withdrawn in 1996 and used for parts, it was broken up August 1998.

The NWT aircraft were very attractive in this livery.

One nice-looking Electra - almost got a very short ride on this beauty between Edmonton's Industrial and International airports, but the timing didn't quite work out. Started out as Eastern's N5524 in 2.59, to XA-FAM 12.72, N83MR in 5.79 and NWT in 6.81. Sold to ABC as G-FNWY 1.91 and wfu at EMA. Became N3209A with JBQ 12.91 and re-reg N351Q (Indian Ocean lease as VH-IOB ntu). Bought by Renown 6.96, stored at Roswell 10.00 and back to Canada for fire tanker conversion with Air Spray as C-GZVM in 8.02

Originally Eastern Airlines N5524, this Electra came to NWT in 1981. When NWT was bought by Air Canada in 1987, the L-188 got this new color scheme as an Air Canada Connector. The airplane was sold to Air Bridge Carriers in 1991 and NWT itself was sold to First Air and merged with them in 1997. It returned to Canada in 2003 with Air Spray and was eventually re-fitted as an air tanker.

This 737 goes back to 1975 when delivered to Aer Lingus (EI-ASL). NWT bought it from L'Aeropostale (F-GKTK) in 1995 and it's photographed in Air Canada commuter colors. In 1996, NWT was sold to First Air, who operated it until again sold to Nolinor Aviation August 5, 2016.
