Wartime C-47 42-23951 was a well traveled aircraft. Flying post war in Australia, Africa, Ireland and Great Britain before coming to Canada in 1970 as CF-CQT for North Coast Air Services. Pictured still in North Coast's color scheme, the aircraft would later get the more colorful Air Manitoba color scheme. Last flying with Points North Air Services after 1984, the aircraft was stored and the registration cancelled in 1996. It's part of the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum collection at the time of uploading.

This Skytrain is situated in Carroção park along the dinosaur trail. Inside, it features a peculiar show. With lights and noises an aircraft crash into the jungle is re-enacted... Weird experience, two small engines drive the props. The aircraft is hard to photograph though.
