You would think it hadn't moved in three years looking back at Ruud's photo of it. Sadly it was written off when it hit a 2800 foot ridge near Mount Redoubt 20 Dec 2000 en route Nondalton to Kenai (AK) whilst attempting to maintain VFR in marginal weather conditions.

The aircraft powered up and began its last taxi to the threshold in Winnipeg moments after this photo was taken.

Delivered to the USAAF as 44-61071, put into storage in India after the war, then flew with operators from Venezuela, Panama and the Dominican Republic from 1955 until withdrawal from use in 1976. Resurrected to fly with several Canadian airlines and with Buffalo since 2001. Its belly-landing in Déline on September 25, 2015 was no mean feat as the crew managed to get a crippled freighter onto a gravel airstrip without navaids, in solid IFR weather.

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.

"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.
