With an orange Buffalo logo on its fin, catching the early morning sun outside the Buffalo Airways hangar at Yellowknife Airport. Later sustained substantial damage , in November 2012, due to a left main gear collapse on landing at Yellowknife. Then in September 2015 suffered engine failure some way short of its flight destination, Norman Wells. Unable to maintain altitude, a forced belly landing had to be made on the gravel airstrip at Déline in very poor weather conditions. The aircraft considerably overran the runway. The crew evacuated safely. The aircraft was a write-off.

Imported into Canada in 1987 as C-GTXW for Air Manitoba after post-military registration in Venezuela and Dominican Rep. Here it has just returned from time in Kenya on famine relief from 1994 on. After restoration as C-GTXW it was wrecked while with Buffalo Airways by being deliberately landed wheels-up at Déline/NT on 25 September 2015. (Bar River is the last place anyone would expect to find a Kenyan registered C-46.)

This photo is said to show a hijacked DC-3 at Key West in October 1960, but obviously this is a C-46. Many hijackings occurred and although Cubana absorbed Aerovias Q during 1959, a 1960 date might be possible. Ex 42-107292, this airframe was not acquired by Aerovias Q until February 1959. Despite the word 'Bienvenidos' on the terminal, this does seem to be Key West. Photo from: Monroe County Public Library
