If only I had known they would manage to get this beauty ready for a ferry flight across the lake that same evening. She departed to Yellowknife some five hours after I left. With 27,673 hours on the clock, she was put up for sale after the 2015 fire season and still is in 2020.

The pride taken by 'Buffalo Joe' and his company in the operation of this propliner is evident from the nose art. The "First around the World" logo was adopted by the Douglas Aircraft Company after a group of Douglas World Cruisers had successfully circumnavigated the globe - in 1924.

The famous sole surviving swingtail DC-6, bought by Buffalo in 2013 as a Bank of Utah trustee in order to keep the US registration. She seems to never have flown since arriving here and even still be sitting in the same spot in 2020.
