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.

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.

Despite having a livery of its own, Buffalo's doctrine on the subject is 'If there is green in it, it will do'. The former G-LOFC has retained above scheme, complete with Atlantic Airlines logo and only the airline name changed. Parked here without props after being added to the fleet two years earlier, she went on flying cargo again later.

Brought into the hangar next day, to be prepared for the season. Was taken over (via Bombardier) in August 2010 from the Newfoundland and Labrador government, whose colours it still wears here. Ownership passed on to Longview Aviation in July 2017. This is a relatively new CL-215, built in 1987.

Arctic Explorer has been sitting in cold storage for years, after being acquired by Buffalo in May 2002. Before that, this C-54 was Tanker 12 as well but with Aero Union as N4994H. Officially still on record as CF-BAA, the 1945 airframe with over 22.000 hours is for sale.

CF-CUE once was the first aircraft landing on the runway of what is now the Yellowknife airport. She flew with the USAAF for just three years before becoming civil and was with Canadian Pacific from January 1947 until moving on to the Department of Transport in February 1956. There, she was retired in October 1990, to be taken on by Buffalo in 1992.

On August 19, 2013, WIR suffered a complex engine failure during take-off while also being unintentionally overloaded. Not even able to reach 200ft AGL, she came to a sliding stop short of a Yellowknife runway, luckily without injury to persons. Part of the resulting damage can be seen on the nose. Her career started as USAAF 42-23509 in 1943, then Czechoslovak government as OK-VAV and French air force, including combat duty again, as 23509. Went civil as F-WSGY and eventually, in 1975, became C-GWIR. Smoke jumper platform as well as combined passenger-freighter aircraft with Buffalo.

Another 'jet prop' with an interesting history, that is quite well documented on AirHistory. This one was delivered to TEAL in New Zealand in 1959. She had a number of US and Canadian operators from 1972 onwards, including Reeve Aleutian Airways. Undergoing continued work here on the conversion into airtanker. The paint scheme on the fuselage is still mostly following the Reeve livery but with different colours.

Another 'jet prop' with an interesting history, that is quite well documented on AirHistory. This one was delivered to TEAL in New Zealand in 1959. She had a number of US and Canadian operators from 1972 onwards, including Reeve Aleutian Airways. Undergoing continued work here on the conversion into airtanker. The paint scheme on the fuselage is still mostly following the Reeve livery but with different colours.

A two-engined L-188 with no props when photographed here but this involuntary star of one of the "Ice Pilots NWT" episodes was restored to full glory, as Tanker 417, by the next Spring. Classic Lockheed and Electra emblems on the nose and matching monster-, pardon, Buffalo-green tow truck.

Work in progress on Buffalo's Birddog 104. It had its host of US corporate employers since being built in 1980, and came to Canada for Buffalo in March 2014. This one did receive the full green and orange firefighting livery later on.

Built in 1981 and registered as N152X until October 2004. Then a Canadian corporate turboprop with current regi until bought by Buffalo Airways in May 2012, to become an Electra birddog. In the Buffalo tradition, as little was changed to the paint job as was felt necessary.

By April 2015, this poor Electra had lost all engines to airworthy sisters. In 2019, it was still sitting at Red Deer in the same state, by the looks of it. Dwarfed on the left is Mooney C-GFTF.

At the time of photo the aircraft was configured as a passenger liner. Now that Buffalo are no longer operating passenger sched flights it may have been reconfigured to freight.
