This King Air version has high-density seating for commuter services. Air Tindi was sold to holding company Discovery Air in December 2006, hence the standard small titles, added to the airline name. Contrary to most other planes in the fleet, this one's colours reflect the house style of the parent company.

70 years old here and going strong. AVO, with its half lower case registration, started out as 44-77846 with the USAAF and became civil with Capitol Airways in 1961 as N9891Z. Was leased to Lufthansa as such for five years, hence the crane that is still on the nose. To Canada in 1988 for Air Manitoba and with Buffalo since 1995. Seriously damaged during taxi in 2005 but rebuilt and meanwhile still active at 75.

'The Sked' arriving at Hay River, coinciding with the company president's near-daily commute home. Intended for the USAAF as 42-93423, the Douglas was instead taken on by the RAF as Dakota Mk. III KG602. Transferred as such to the RCAF in 1946, she became CC-129 12932 by 1970 and was put into storage in 1975. Buffalo bought her five years after that.

"Even in Yellowknife, everybody looks when a C-46 gets airborne"... The sound volume that goes with it may have to do with that! TXW is leaving in the morning on another Valley Run, packed with groceries and sundries. On the upper fuselage, just behind the cockpit door, the shade of its former RANSA titles is visible. That company operated her from 1955 until 1966.

This well-travelled 1969 amphibian was on the Canadian register as C-FTXC for some two years as of May 1996. She then went to the USA as N215NC and came back, to Buffalo, in May 2011 with the current reg. As shown, it still had the flag of North Carolina on the tail and the emblem of its Forest Service on the forward door. The aircraft is for sale.

A closer look at the nose art. The full text (all caps) reads: Captain Dickinson; Ed Force Three; C-47 RAF KG330; No. 512 Squadron; D-day June 6th 1944. Iron Maiden member Bruce Dickinson visited Buffalo and felt WZS deserved a name, having such a history. He decided on 'Ed Force Three' after the band's tourplane, that is in turn named after their mascot Eddie.

Famous insigna on PNR's nose. "Summer Wages" was a country song about loggers blowing their income on entertainment, thought fit by 'Buffalo' Joe for this plane as he spent all his money converting it for civil use. The story behind the small door being dubbed 'hamburger door' is a lot less poetic: it is named after what a person would become when opening it with the engine running...

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.
