Here still in the livery of its former corporate owner General Mills Inc. For a complete history, see Photo ID: 315198.

This C-47 saw a lot of the world starting with the 10th Army Air Force as 41-18689 flying out of India to China. Transferred to North Africa before the end of WWII, it was de-mobbed in Cairo in July 1945 and became TC-AKA with DHY (Devlet Hava Yollari) a year later. Next with General Mills, Inc in 1954, the aircraft came to Canada in 1970 as CF-NWU with Northwest Territorial Airways. Sold to Buffalo Airways in July 1991, it went to the USA as N62BA several months later. The registration was cancelled in 1994.

Delivered to Northwest Territorial Airways in 1965, but crashlanded at Somerset Island, NWT, Canada on 13 May 1971. Damaged beyond repair and stored. The museum acquired it in 1993, but not much is known about its whereabouts between 1971 and 1993. By 1979 it was reportedly under repair with Buffalo Airways at Red Deer, where it may have ended up in storage. Note the small "Northwest Territorial Airways Ltd. - Yellowknife N.W.T." titles near the cargo door. Seen here while still on outdoor display, this aircraft had been moved indoors by 2008.

Northwest Airlines took delivery of this Electra on March 29, 1961 and put in a cargo door by April 1968. International Jetair registered the aircraft CF-IJR in January 1971, later leased to Imperial Oil Ltd. Northwest Territorial bought it in January 1983 then to Air Bridge Carriers as G-FIJR in 1991. Sold to Atlantic Airlines in November 1997, the Electra would return to Canada when Conair Aviation registered it C-GYCG on October 8, 2010 as a source of parts for their Electras. Sold to Buffalo Airways in October 2016, the aircraft remains engine-less at Abbotsford in Air Atlantic colors.

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.

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
