Built as 44-77109 this C-47 was transferred days after delivery to the Royal Air Force as KP224 in June 1945. Taken over by the Royal Canadian Air Force in April 1947, the aircraft was re-serialed 12905 in 1970. It remained in Military service until 1977 when it was sold as surplus, becoming C-GSCM with Skycraft Air Transport. Pictured on lease to Air BC (1981 - 1983) just before returning to Skycraft, it went to the USA as N364AB in 1995. Donated to the Commemorative Air Force in late 2019, it has been undergoing refurbishment to replace C-47 "Bluebonnet Belle" lost in 2018.

Written off Saint Louis-Lambert International 9 Jan 84. From the ASN report: The first two attempts to takeoff were abandoned due to slow aircraft performance. Takeoff was continued on the third attempt, but both engines lost power upon gear retraction. An attempt was made to make an emergency landing on a highway, but the left wing struck a pole. The aircraft crashed through a fence and struck a highway embankment. PROBABLE CAUSE: Jet-A fuel had been used when refueling the aircraft, instead of 100LL Avgas.

Bradley Flying School was formed in 1946. It became Bradley Air Services in 1950. In 1973 it began to also trade as as First Air but remained registered as Bradley Air Services. This DC-3 later operated with Central Mountain Air Services and was written off 4 Apr 91 when, whilst en route, it crashed onto a frozen lake (Thudate Lake, BC). The flight was flown VFR in daylight with sudden heavy snow squalls.
