Still flying the vestiges of Pacific Western Airlines' regional routes, this 737's next stops are Hay River and Yellowknife.

"Chilly Willie" down from it's normal base in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. An ex-RCAF Otter delivered May 12, 1960 as 9404, it was sold surplus in September 1982. Bought by bush pilot Willy Laserich to establish Adlair Aviation in May 1983. Sold in 1993, it went on to Fly with Geraldton Air, Northern Lights Air and Johnny May's Air Charter before going to the USA in 2000 (N361TT). Leased to Alaska's Renew Air Taxi May 2001, the aircraft received a Texas Turbine conversion in the Spring of 2003.

On a scheduled flight to Yellowknife. Later to Sunwest Aviation and used as a freighter, it is still current at the time of uploading.

1975 vintage Twin Otter delivered originally to Merpati Nusantara Airlines. It was in an accident in 1984, details of which I haven't found and was sold to Ashe Aircraft Enterprises in 1990 for rebuild. Here with Ptarmigan Airways, the Twin Otter went on to be leased in Canada to several other airlines. After surviving an accident where the nose wheel was sheared off, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair when a helicopter sling broke at altitude while moving it to a repair facility.

"Hot Rod" on the Buffalo ramp. Aircraft written off during a forced landing due fuel exhaustion in June 1994, and hulk moved to Hay River. Another Buffalo DC-3 subsequently used the same registration (c/n 13028) and was on display at the Alberta Aviation Museum in Canadian Air Force colors from 2004 until late 2013. It is now in storage with Buffalo Air at Red Deer.

Very attractive colors on this DC-4 parked behind the Buffalo Airways hangar at Yellowknife Airport
